🏆 Team New Hampshire brings home the first-ever Retail Cup!

What an incredible day at Breakfast Hill Golf Course in Greenland! After weathering two rain delays (third time's the charm ☀️), 20 teams, 10 representing Team New Hampshire and 10 representing Team Maine battled it out in a golf scramble for bragging rights and the inaugural Retail Cup trophy.

In the end, Team New Hampshire edged out Team Maine to claim the title! Congratulations to everyone who competed, and had a fun day on the course. The energy, camaraderie, and friendly rivalry between our two states made this a tournament to remember.

A huge thank you to our presenting sponsors, whose support made this event possible: Hammond Lumber Company, Cove Risk Services, and Altria.

Thank you to Breakfast Hill Golf Club for hosting such a beautiful day of golf, and to every retailer, partner, and volunteer who came out to support NH and ME's retail community. We're already looking forward to next year where the competition moves to Maine. Maine, we'll see you on the course, and we'll battle to keep the Retail Cup in our hands! 😏⛳

📸 A few of our favorite moments from the day are below.

⛳ Poseidon strikes again! We've postponed the inaugural Retail Cup for a SECOND time due to weather turning this into a full-blown odyssey. But good news: we're back on for August 11th at Breakfast Hill in Greenland, NH!

This is Team New Hampshire vs. Team Maine, and home turf advantage is ours. The top 5 net scores from each state will be combined to crown the winner and claim the Retail Cup. So whether you're scratch or a 25 handicap, we need you out there repping NH!

Foursomes and individual players still welcome. Grab your spot:

A good reminder how New Hampshire stands out among our New England peers.

New Hampshire once again has one of the lowest tax burdens in the nation!

We'll keep holding the line against new taxes to protect our New Hampshire Advantage.
