The Cairns Cup, a golf club in Lytham Saint Annes, is gearing up for its bi-annual golf matchplay event between Europe and the USA. The event is all about inclusivity, welcoming players with various abilities and disabilities to compete on the green. Set to take place from July 27th to August 3rd, 2024, at Cherry Creek Golf Club in Detroit, Michigan, USA, the event aims to raise funds to ensure that all disabled golfers have a shot at being selected, regardless of financial constraints.
With female captains Kim Moore and Tineke Loogman leading Team USA and Team Europe, respectively, the competition promises to be full of talent and sportsmanship. The rules have been thoughtfully crafted to cater to players of all skill levels and disabilities, ensuring a level playing field for everyone involved.
