​Welcome to the Seven Putt Ryder Cup at TreeTops.



      This annual event began in 1998, with 8 players battling for bragging rights and Bald Mountain supremacy. The 2024 version, representing the 26th playing of the event, was held  Saturday, August 17th at Pine Knob Golf Club before moving to Treetops Resort in Gaylord, Michigan through to Tuesday, August 20th.  

​

     Commissioner John Ciszewski,  now manages the circus with 4 teams of 12 players who will battle it out for Ryder Cup supremacy.

Team 1 - Team Andrews

Team 2 - Team Stephan 

Team 3 - Team Summers

Team 4 -  Team Zott

Over the first 3 days, the teams played a round robin and in Round 4 we returned to Threetops for the first time since 2009, when Brad Crighton ran supreme - shooting a 28 and grabbing four closest to's. This year's  Par 3 Challenge was a two man scramble with 18 closest to's up for grabs. Round 5 concluding the Ryder Cup with the singles matches. Congratulations to Team Stephan for capturing this years Ryder Cup. Results are under Results - Year 2024. 

        This year we welcome Ryder Cup rookies: Dave Busch, Paul Cordes, Doug Herbert , Mitch Martin Craig Peiser and Wes Raynal. We also were fortunate to get Tom Wilson, and Chris Newell as last minute replacements to bail us out as life got in the way. In addition, we celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Ryder Cup participants Zach Carter, Justin Price and Terry Schimke. 

       Scoring has each match worth a total of 3 points. Most holes won on the front nine collects 1 point, most holes won on the back nine is worth one point, and most holes won overall wins 1 point. In the case of overall ties (not hole by hole), 1/2 point will be awarded for front nine, back nine and overall . The Par 3 Threetops scoring was based on the Stableford scoring system. Pairing with most stableford points gets 2 points, a tie is 1 point each. Team with the most points wins the event. The points recorded, as well as the closest to numbers are included in the overall Ryder Cup event. In addition, the Hole in one bonus is excluded from payout.  ​

        We are also joined by  the two ladies Solheim Cup teams, which consist of 20 of the best female golfers within a 4 mile block radius of  Boulder Pointe Golf Course in Oxford, Michigan.
