British Columbia Golf Wins PNGA Lamey Cup
The team from British Columbia Golf won the 19th PNGA Lamey Cup, held April 27-29 at historic Victoria (B.C.) Golf Club. This is the fourth time Team BC Golf has won this event, which features 10-person teams from the six associations under the PNGA umbrella – Oregon Golf Association, British Columbia Golf, Idaho Golf Association, Montana State Golf Association, Alaska Golf Association, and Washington Golf.

Victoria Golf Club is one of the six founding clubs of the Pacific Northwest Golf Association, which was founded in 1899. The club previously hosted the PNGA Lamey Cup in 2007.
The annual Ryder Cup-style team competition is held on a rotating basis throughout the region, with this year’s event being held in British Columbia and hosted by British Columbia Golf.
With the recent addition of the Alaska Golf Association and Montana State Golf Association as member associations of the PNGA, the format for the PNGA Lamey Cup was adjusted to accommodate six teams rather than the four teams who competed in previous years of this event.
The event is held on a rotating basis by Association, with next year’s event scheduled to be held in Idaho.
The PNGA Lamey Cup was created in 2006 by past PNGA President Dr. Jack Lamey as a way of continuing the camaraderie and partnership of the region’s member associations under the PNGA umbrella. With Dr. Lamey’s passing in December 2019, the event and its perpetual trophy have been named after him.
