About the Duke of Edinburgh Cup
Founded in 2000 by the late HRH Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh Cup is a global amateur golf series dedicated to raising funds for children and young people. The tournament is now supported by HRH Prince Edward, The Duke of Edinburgh, as it launches its first New Zealand qualifying event. In NZ, 100% of the net funds raised from this event will support:
Young Enterprise (YES) — programmes that build real‑world business, leadership, and life skills in young New Zealanders
Golf New Zealand — including the Futures youth strategy, Women & Girls’ ambition, and the Disability action plan

Another 74 entries last week at the 2nd to last night of our Feb 2026 series of Twilight. The Twilight Committee reflected last week how at the start we thought if we got 30 each week we would be happy – how wrong were we!!! Thank you !

Our Finals night is sponsored by the Weekly Jackpot sponsor Taylor & Askew @ Powers Realty – along with a Finals Prize Package sponsored by Plymouth Hotel - and we thank you both.

We hope to get a record attendance on Thursday for our last night – come along and see if our leader board can be knocked off their perches – there’s not much separating them.
