Town of Tonawanda Director's Cup

The Sheridan Park Golf Club has played the Brighton Park Golf Club in a 16-man per team Ryder Cup style match play tournament each Autumn since 1997. Through 2022, Sheridan has won 21 of 25 matches - including the last 20 in a row. There’s a pretty cool trophy that’s usually in our Clubhouse and if you’re on the winning team you get your name inscribed on the trophy! Photos of the Trophy are below.

Our Club chooses the 16 members that represent Sheridan based on the order of finish in our Club Championship. Top 3 finishers in each Class get an automatic invite and the Club Champion in each Class has a captain’s pick to fill the 4th spot in each Class.
