Jesse Ryder Cup

Established in 2010 in the UK, the Jesse Ryder Cup embraces lads, golf and boozing.  

A competitive spirit is encouraged on the course as long as it comes with a beer.  General lad behaviour always prevails with late nights and plenty of debauchery.  We're creating lifelong memories and friendships on this annual pilgrimage to a golfing mecca in NZ or beyond.

"While everyone is aware of my well-documented battles with alcohol, it's important for me to state that I abhor drug use of any kind"

-- Jesse Ryder --

Following the birth of the JR Cup in 2011 (Scotland), the Cup has been competed for every year since.   The tournament has seen many a legend in attendance (and Hutchy), with some of the most fantastic awards known to man.  There is always one who is overrated, too drunk to be a dad, a boozer amongst boozers or shooting more tons than Sachin, without doubt it is the greatest weekend of the year.   

Because of all this greatness, In 2014 the tournament split with a chapter established in Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere edition continuing on.   This website currently only contains information pertaining to the original, combined years, of the tournament and then follows the Southern Hemisphere antics since then.  This in no way takes away from the awesomeness of the Northern Hemisphere tour - it is just that the author wasn't in attendance.
