Registration Open for July 21 JPMGC Charity Event Benefitting Harvest Against Hunger
Registration is now open for the 9th Annual JPMGC Charity Classic on Tuesday, July 21, at Jackson Park.
Co-sponsored by our men’s club along with Lake Forest Park, Northshore and Shoreline Rotary clubs, this annual event has raised more than $68,000 since 2018 for Harvest Against Hunger, a non-profit providing fresh fruit and produce to regional food banks.
Format is a four-person team scramble, open to everyone (no handicaps required). Special features include mulligans, throws, automatic two-putts, prizes for KPs and straight drives, and a jar raffle. Tee times are available from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Donations of items and/or Premier Golf “book money” are welcome, as are sponsorships.

Seattle Cup Coming in Late August
The 2026 Seattle Cup will take place the weekends of Aug. 22-23 and Aug. 29-30.
This annual event involves men’s clubs from the four Seattle municipal golf courses–Bill Wright, Interbay, Jackson Park and West Seattle–competing in a Ryder Cup-style competition. It features two-man and individual match-play formats, with each course hosting one of the four days.
JPMGC Captain Brian Asplund will send Seattle Cup information to the club membership soon.
JPMGC Home-and-Home with Snohomish Golf Course Men’s Club Set This Summer

JPMGC Member-Only Group Clinics Held This Spring
To help members improve their games and to foster camaraderie among club members, JPMGC coordinated with Jackson Park teaching staff to provide member-only group clinics this spring.
The two four-week sessions–held Friday early evenings from April 17-May 8 and from May 15-June 5– focused on short- and long-game aspects, led by Jackson Park Teaching Professional Nick Baker.
Nick reported he was pleased with how the clinics went and noted positive overall responses from participating members, even with a few no-shows among pre-registered attendees.
Nick and JP staff are working on potential swing clinics for members this summer. Stay tuned for more information.
Reminder: Premier to Limit Carryover of Book Money at Year-End 2026
A friendly reminder that Premier Golf has instituted a new policy to limit the carryover of course credit (aka book money) at Seattle public courses, including Jackson, from year to year. Starting at year-end 2026, book-money carryovers will be capped at $250.
In other words, you must draw down your book-money accounts to $250 or less by Dec. 31, 2026, and the same in subsequent years.
For more information or questions on this policy, please contact the pro shop, which can also help you make book money purchases. Please note book money can be used for merchandise as well as for the driving range, cart fees and instruction.
