WYD Awards, Honors, &

Weekend Contests

Net & Gross Champions

To level the playing field, WYD Weekend consists of three rounds of scramble golf; with awards going to the low net and low gross scoring teams.

 

Low Net:

 

  • Winners take home the coveted WYD Cup; with names & themes engraved on it since the first ever WYD event.

 

  • This team is the lowest scoring team utilizing the WYD Approved handicap system.  

 

  • We've nailed it down over the past 22 years, often with the victory coming down to one or two shots over the course of three days of competition.    

 

Low Gross:

 

  • Winners take home the custom WYD Gross Champion Chalice, along with bragging rights for being the best golfers at WYD.

 

  • This was put into place to give the better teams a chance to compete fairly. 

Most Valuable Daddy

The MVD is often discussed as the "Highest Honor a Daddy Can Recieve" at WYD.

 

  • At the conclusion of the final round, all sons gather to vote on the Most Valuable Daddy based on what they have seen on and off the course over WYD weekend.

 

  • This honor has brought grown men to tears over the years, and is a first class WYD Tradition.

 

  • The winner will recieve the honorary plaque with the following engraving:

 

 

"In recognition of outstanding shot making (luck!), mental toughness, and parental fortitute in carrying your "son" through 3 days of intense competition on the links.   When the Going Got Tough ... The Daddy Got Going!"
