The Best in Texas Compete Here

41st Joe Black Cup Matches Played at Boot Ranch November 15-16, 2021

Boot Ranch played host to the 41st Joe Black Cup Matches, the most competitive annual event in the Northern and Southern Texas Sections of the PGA. This is a Ryder Cup-format event in which the top 12 qualifying golf professionals from each section face off in four-ball and singles matches. The event started in 1981 to honor Joe Black, a Snyder, Texas native who was completing his first year as President of The PGA of America.

This year, the fiercely contested rivalry between two sister sections was marked by close matches, dramatic shots, and uncompromising sportsmanship. At the start of the second day of play, the Southern Texas PGA team was down 7 to 5, and mounted a comeback to claim the matches 12.5 to 11.5.  Heading into the 41st playing, the overall team records sat level at 19-19-2, with the Northern Texas PGA holding the trophy from last year’s win.

The teams from each Section were represented by their Section President, the top playing PGA Directors of Golf, PGA Head Professionals and PGA General Managers, and a Captain’s Pick. Rick Arnett, PGA Head Professional at Great Hills Country Club, was Captain of the Southern Texas PGA team, and Ronny Glanton, PGA Head Professional at Sherrill Park Golf Course, served as the Northern Texas PGA Captain.

The presenting sponsors were Club Car, Dunning, and Stitch.
