Kris Mikkelsen hits a tee shot in the final round of the 2011 Lupton Memorial golf tournament at The Honors Course. The Lupton keeps growing in numbers and prestige for mid-amateur, senior and super-senior golfers from throughout the United States and beyond.A borrowed idea has become a tradition at The Honors Course.
A tournament that began 10 years ago as a preview for golfers anticipating playing in the 2005 U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship has evolved into an illustrious tournament featuring some of the finest mid-amateur, senior and super-senior golfers in the country.
It’s the Lupton Memorial.
“We’re ready for an exciting three days of golf where all players will be put to the test,” Honors Course head professional Henrik Simonsen said. “The tournament has definitely evolved, and most of the credit needs to be given to [tournament chairman] Randy Yoder. He is the one who travels to similar tournaments, promotes our event and gets the best players to come to our event.
“Our goal is to move this tournament all the way up to where it’s considered to be along the same line as other prestigious tournaments in the country.”
