What are you playing for?
Roost Regional Qualifications (2 golfers)
As decided by the Net Fourball tournament. The top team from the Crossroads Coop membership will be invited to our Roost Regional team, and join us at The Golf Courses of Lawsonia in July.
Nest Invitational Tournament Qualification (1 golfer)
As decided by the Net Fourball tournament. The winning team, from the general public or the Coop, will choose one (1) golfer to send to No Laying Ups NIT. This coveted event is the pride and joy of the NLU season. The winning team may choose the golfer for the NIT by whatever means they decide, either by handshake or through match play. Please note the NIT golfer must subscribe to the No Laying Up Nest Membership within 48 hours of award.
Old Broken Bucket Team Champions
During registration, golfers will choose to support Indiana or Purdue in the Old Broken Bucket competition. At the close of 36-hole play, the side with the best overall Net score from their top three twosomes wins the coveted Old Broken Bucket.
For example, if the top three teams from the Purdue side total 138, 140 and 140 their team total would be 418. If IU scored 425, Purdue would be crowned champion.
Individual Medalist (Gross & Net)
The individuals with the best 36-hole scores.
Through these competitive formats, we allow the entire state to compete in support of their chosen university, while also qualifying golfers for the top NLU events. Each year, well compete for ownership of the Old Broken Bucket and state-wide bragging rights.
Charity
The 2025 Old Broken Bucket will raise money for Youth on Course. For more information on Youth on Course, visit Impact | Youth on Course
