Golf means different things to different people but for so many it has served as familial bond, uniting parents and children in a game that transcends age, adolescence and nearly everything else.

The newest competitive entry on PGA TOUR Superstore World Amateur Handicap Championship menu is as much about honoring the bond between golf and family, as it is competition. The Cory Lemke Parent-Child Championship is open, free of charge, to any combination of parent and child participating in the World Amateur.

The event, in its inaugural year, will be played in honor of Cory Lemke, who won his flight at the age of 15 in 2002. Cory and his father, Mark, a 12-year tournament participant, played countless rounds of golf together, the game serving as a common ground between a son growing into manhood and his father. Cory Lemke tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident in 2006, but his memory lives on through the Cory Lemke Parent-Child Championship.

Just like the World Amateur, the Cory Lemke Parent-Child Championship is a 72-hole event. A golfer’s net score from the World Amateur is also his or her score for the Parent-Child. At the conclusion of 72 holes, the duo with the lowest combined net score wins the championship. The top 5 finishers receive gift certificates from the PGA Tour Superstore.
