The 8th annual CONE Cup was hosted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's PGA Golf Management Program at Wilderness Ridge on October 3-4, 2015. University of Central Oklahoma (CO) and University of Nebraska (NE) each has 14 students compete in the Ryder Cup style event. Day one consists of four-ball matches and day two is singles.
Friday evening we all met at Mellow Mushroom (pizza place in Lincoln's Haymarket area) for dinner and a pairings party. After the four-ball matches on Saturday, we were down 2.5 to 4.5 to UCO. Although we had a 2-point deficit going into the second day, we had won 3 points of the first four matches (tying the score) and were leading a majority of the remaining matches on the course. Unfortunately, we were not able to close the deal and ended up losing 9 to 12. The record for the CONE Cup now stands as CO-5 and NE-3.
Next fall we will be traveling south to play UNO on its home course for the 9th annual CONE Cup. We would more than welcome any spectators who want to travel on their own to Edmund and support Team Nebraska. The preliminary dates are October 8-9, 2016. So, look for the official dates of this competition in our next newsletter.
