Mark & Cory Lemke Parent-Child Championship

Oyervides-Team-Lemke

Golf means different things to different people, but for so many it has served as a familial bond, uniting parents and children in a game that transcends age, adolescence and nearly everything else. This “tournament within a tournament” is as much about honoring the bond between golf and family, as it is golf competition. The Mark & Cory Lemke Parent-Child Championship is open, free of charge, to any combination of parent and child participating in the World Amateur.

The sub-tournament is played in honor of Cory Lemke, who won his flight at the age of 15 in 2002. Cory and his father, Mark, a 12-year World Am tournament participant, played countless rounds of golf together, the game serving as a common ground between a son growing into manhood and his father. Cory Lemke tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident in 2006, but his memory lives on through the Mark & Cory Lemke Parent-Child Championship.

Just like the World Amateur golf tournament, the Parent-Child Championship is a 72-hole event. A golfer’s net score from the World Amateur is also his or her score for the Parent-Child golf tournament. At the conclusion of 72 holes, the duo with the lowest combined net score wins the championship. The top 5 finishers receive prizes.

The Mark & Cory Lemke Parent-Child Championship is FREE of charge to any parent/child relationship (i.e – son, daughter, nephew, grandfather, grandmother, step-son, step-daughter, etc.) Both participants must be registered in the World Am to be eligible for the Mark & Cory Lemke Parent-Child Championship.
