Solheim Cup - Saint Augustine, Florida - Trophies, Medals and Cups on Waymarking.com

The Solheim Cup is a biennial golf tournament for professional women golfers contested by teams representing Europe and the United States. It is named after the Norwegian-American golf club manufacturer Karsten Solheim.

The inaugural Cup was held in 1990, and the event was staged in even number years until 2002, alternating years with the Ryder Cup (the equivalent men's event between the USA and Europe). As part of the general reshuffling of team golf events consequent to the one-year postponement of the 2001 Ryder Cup due to 9/11, the Solheim Cup switched to odd numbered years from 2003.

The 2013 Solheim Cup was the 13th edition of the Solheim Cup matches, held on August 16–18 at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker, Colorado, southeast of Denver. The matches included a series of firsts for Team Europe:
1- They retained the Cup for the first time since the competition began in 1990.
2- This was the largest margin of victory for either team.
3- They won in the United States for the first time ever.
4- Sweden's Anna Nordqvist became the first player in Solheim Cup history, on either team, to make a hole-in-one.
5- Sweden's Caroline Hedwall became the first player in Solheim Cup history, on either team, to win five matches in a single competition.

Visit Instructions:
Please take a photo of the award and describe your experience. If it is particularly large trophy or cup include a photo with yourself for scale.

Special note regarding schools: Public secondary schools are public places, and they often include public displays of trophies, medals and cups; however, security concerns might make it difficult to visit these locations at certain times. The best time to visit is probably during an athletic competition. The trophy case is very often adjacent to the gymnasium, and it would be very easy to photograph the trophies at such times. Alternately, you may visit during the school day. Respect school policy and sign in at the office as appropriate. You might explain that you heard that there was a national championship trophy on display somewhere in the school and you would like to photograph it. The secretary will likely direct you down the correct hallway, pleased as punch that people still care about that old championship.
