Every year at the Haggin Oaks Golf Expo, among many other activities, Haggin Oaks hosts the Sacramento City Putting Championships where people from throughout the county come out to compete to win real local titles.
There are three divisions, one for youth, one for women and one for men organized and watched over by the Sacramento Golf Council to see who is the best putter of them all!
The Sacramento City Putting Championship is organized as tournaments where competitors start out in groups of two playing each other until they have putted 18 holes. Whoever has the lowest score at the end gets to move on to the next round where they follow this same process until there are only 2 people left, at which point they battle it out for the title of ‘Sacramento City Putting Champion!” The winner gets their name engraved on an official trophy to be recognized for years to come.
This Year’s Winners for Each Division Were:
Mike Harrop 
Vicki Philpott 
Cassie Cross
Youth: Cassie Cross
