- Crump Cup
-
The Crump Cup is an invitational golf tournament for amateurs. The first tournament was held in 1922. It is named George Arthur Crump,and is played on the grounds of Pine Valley Golf Club, which Crump founded. [1] The format for the four days is two rounds of stroke play, qualifying, followed by four rounds of match play.[2] The final round has traditionally held on the last Sunday in September. Jay Sigel has won the event the most times, with nine victories between 1975 and 1993.[2]
Since at least the 1970s the public can, on the day of the final round, tour the golf course and view tournament play.[3] This is the only day each year on which the public has access to the grounds of the club.[4] Visitors park at the nearby Clementon Amusement Park, where a local youth athletic association charges $20 per car. Yellow school buses then take fans on a five-minute ride down a secluded side road, away from amusement park, and unload in a gravel parking lot in the woods.[1]
