PREVIEW: 2022 Joe Haase Cup

This coming Saturday, April 30th, the Joe Haase Cup will be contested at Firestone Country Club’s North Course in Akron for the 24th time.

Teams from the Northern Ohio PGA Junior Tour, the North Coast Junior Tour, the Toledo Junior Golf Association and the Central Ohio Junior Golf Academy will compete this year.

This junior tour competition originally began as the Tour Challenge in 1999, featuring local junior teams from Northeast Ohio.

In 2002, the event was renamed in memory of Joe Haase, the golf professional at Shaker Heights Country Club and a past President of the Northern Ohio PGA. Joe was a good friend to junior golf both locally and nationally.

The event has been hosted at Firestone Country Club’s North Course for the past 20 years. But only since 2021 have the representative teams come from outside Northeast Ohio, now with junior tours from Toledo and Columbus involved.

The North Coast Junior Golf Tour are the defending champions, as they won the last Haase Cup played in 2019. The prior two years of play have seen back-to-back cancellations: the 2020 event was cancelled for COVID-19; the 2021 Cup was rained out.

In past years, the event has always been conducted as a Match Play competition. But for 2022, a brand new stroke play Stableford scoring format will be used.

Each team of 18 players is comprised of six players in three divisions: Boys 17-19; Boys 16 & U; and Girls 19 & U. Scores from five of those six players per division will count toward the team points score. The team with the highest combined point total over all three divisions will be the 2022 Joe Haase Cup champion.

Best of luck to all players and may the best team win on Sunday at Firestone North!
