Idaho Governor’s Cup more than a golfing tourney

FISHING — The Idaho Governor’s Cup is coming up on Sept. 10-12 in Sun Valley.

The Idaho Governor’s Cup was established in 1974 by then-Governor Cecil Andrus. It is a 501 (c) (3) organization with a mission to help Idaho kids stay in Idaho to pursue their higher education goals.

What began as a small golf tournament has grown into an annual event with approximately 600 participants and featuring golf, shotgun sports, fly fishing and a number of social activities including hiking. Each evening after the daily sporting events wrap up, participants enjoy great food, entertainment and plenty of networking.

Governor Otter put his own stamp on the event by deciding to alternate the location between Sun Valley and Coeur d’Alene.

The deadline has passed for entering this year’s event in Sun Valley, but mark your calendars for next year’s Governor’s Cup in Coeur d’Alene, Aug. 25-27, 2016.
