Thoroughbred Cup

Thoroughbred Cup

The 5th Annual Thoroughbred Cup Golf and Tennis event will take place on Saturday, June 20, 2009 at Saratoga National Golf Club and Skidmore College Tennis Courts.  Athlete or not, all are encouraged to come golf, play tennis, join us for the dinner or participate in the on-line Silent Auction.  All proceeds from the tournament go towards enhancing the athletics experience for the current student-athletes.

Saratoga National was rated Course of the Year by the National Golf Course Owners Association, #5 Best New Upscale Public Course in America by Golf Digest, Top 100 Public Courses in America by Golf Digest, and #35 overall by Golf for Women. After golf or tennis, players and guests will enjoy cocktails and dinner at Saratoga National's Prime Restaurant, one of only 3% of all restaurants to receive a coveted Four Diamond award from AAA and recognized with an Award of Excellence by Wine Spectator. 


The Friends of Skidmore Athletics (FOSA) initiative promotes the improvement of the College's athletics program. In addition to coordinating the Skidmore Athletics Hall of Fame and various alumni athlete outreach events, FOSA also provides the fundraising framework through which donors can support the overall athletics program, our intramural sports activities, our fitness and recreation programming, and individual intercollegiate teams. Proceeds from the golf and tennis outing will be used to support an ongoing initiative to strengthen coaching resources for intercollegiate teams at Skidmore.
