History was made. Scorecards were scrutinized. Bragging rights were awarded with a level of ceremony wildly disproportionate to the sport.

2026 Team Champions
The Three Putt Stooges
Steve Harader · Chris Garaffa · Nic Scheufler
Three competitors united in the pursuit of glory, or at least the avoidance of public embarrassment.
“Par is merely a suggestion. Trash talk, however, is mandatory.”
— The Unofficial Scheufler Cup PhilosophyMeet the Field
Three Teams. Nine Legends.
Hand-selected by the most sophisticated team formation method available: the math finally worked out.
TEAM 01 · THE BUCCANEERS OF THE BACK NINE
🏴☠️ The Putt Pirates
Stealing birdies, plundering pars, and insisting the wind affected their putts. Even indoors.

- Ashley Chilldress
- Whitnie Haldeman
TEAM 02 · A FAMILY AFFAIR
❄️ The Cole-Blooded Putters
Bound by family. Divided by scorecards. The ride home was always going to be interesting.

- Mark Cole
- Wyatt Cole
TEAM 03 · CONFLICT OF INTEREST DIVISION
🎭 The Three Putt Stooges
The namesake's team. An internal investigation found absolutely no wrongdoing. Shocking.

The 2026 Championship
A Day That Will Live in Infamy
From the first putt to the final score, nine fearless competitors embarked on an unforgettable journey in pursuit of the least financially rewarding championship in golf.
Mega Pines Mini Golf
Where dreams were born, balls were lost, and several competitors learned that confidence does not translate to putting ability.
MMTH Clubhouse
The competition continued, the pressure mounted, and the difference between an elite athlete and a complete amateur became increasingly difficult to identify.
Glory, At Last
After 36 holes, the tournament crowned an individual champion and a winning team. Everyone else received the priceless gift of excuses.

The Sacred Traditions
The Unwritten Rules
Official-looking guidance from an organization that may or may not exist outside a group chat.
01. Respect the Putter
Your equipment deserves better than the performance you're about to deliver.
02. Celebrate the Impossible
Every hole-in-one is skill. Every opponent's hole-in-one is obviously luck.
03. Protect the Scorecard
All scoring disputes will be reviewed by a committee with absolutely no meaningful authority.
04. Never Waste a Good Excuse
The carpet, the wind, the lighting, the moon's gravitational pull: all valid topics for post-round discussion.
These are humorous traditions, not a replacement for the tournament's official scoring rules.
The Legacy Continues
The Road to 2027
The inaugural championship may be over, but the grudges are just getting started. A new season of questionable putting and completely disproportionate bragging rights awaits.
