Congratulations on making the 2020 SoDak Cup team! I want to congratulate all of the amateur players on their success in our championships this year, and to all of the professionals who do so much to grow the game and specifically to help us host events every year. We are seeing a resurgence in interest in golf and in our championships, and we owe it to all of you for serving as such great ambassadors of the game and the SDGA.
The teams are attached and available on the website at https://sdga.org/championships/sodak-cup and on Golf Genius at https://www.golfgenius.com/pages/2142578. The GGID for the event is SODAKCUP20.
Here is the information you need to know for the event.
The SDGA is paying for the following:
Lodging for Friday and Saturday night
Golf Friday-Sunday
Dinner Saturday night w/ three beverage tickets
Participants will be responsible for the following:
Travel expenses
All incidentals and food and beverage other than the Saturday night dinner
Lodging - We have lodging on site at The Prairie Club. We do not have single rooms for all participants, so if you are willing to share a split-double room, indicate it on the Google Form.
Early Arrival - We are assuming everyone is coming down on Friday. If you want to come down on Thursday so you have all day on the propery on Friday, please indicate on the Google Form. I can see what the rate would be for an additional night's lodging (and golf on Thursday) on site. Or you are free to get your own room in Valentine.
Course: Saturday matches are on the PINES Course and Sunday's singles matches are on the DUNES.
