Sloan Morpeth Trophy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sloan Morpeth Trophy was an amateur team golf tournament, played between Australia and New Zealand. It was contested irregularly from 1947 to 2016.[1] The trophy was presented by Sloan Morpeth in 1956.[1] From 1993 to 2005 the two countries played each other as part of the Four Nations Team Championship, a competition which also involved Canada and Japan, while from 2007 to 2012 it was played as part of the Trans Tasman Cup.[2] In 2016 the trophy was contested using scores from the two qualifying rounds of the Australian Amateur.

Except for the final event in 2016, the tournament was match-play. The size of the teams and the format varied but consisted of a combination of foursomes and singles matches. In 2016 the teams had four players with the best three scores from two stroke-play rounds counting towards the team total.
