Tradition National Golf Course brings end to local amateurs’ 23-year losing streak against pros


College golfer Chris Lane putts on the second green at the 2008 Honors Cup at Tradition National Golf Course here earlier this month. Twelve area amateur golfers ended a 23-year losing skid to area pros in the annual golf tournament. The amateurs won 4 ½ to 1 ½ in the 36-hole tournament. The Honors Cup is an annual Ryder Cup-style match between the top 12 PGA professionals in the Hilton Head Island PGA chapter and the top 12 players in the Hilton Head Island Amateur Golf Association. To make the teams, players earn points in the HHIPGA Professional's Championship and the Hilton Head Open.
