The Carter Cup was first played in 2003 and is named in honor of Michael P. Carter, an accomplished junior player at Baltusrol and standout member of the golf team at New Jersey’s Delbarton School who died in a car accident in 2002. Carter had won the junior club championships at both Baltusrol and Winged Foot, and at the time of his death, played for Penn State.
The boys’ division has long featured the region’s top players, as invites are determined by top results in area events. In its second year, the girls’ division continues its growth.
