Celebrating its ninth year, the Tavistock Cup pits the golf professional members of Albany, Isleworth, Lake Nona, and Queenwood against one another to determine who will be crowned World Golf and Country Club Champion. Each year, members and invited guests walk the fairways and cheer on their team as contestants compete for prize money along with coveted team Par 3 hole-in-one prizes, including cars, boats, elegant timepieces and private air travel. Through 2011, the members of these four global clubs have won a combined total of more than 860 worldwide victories, including 62 major championships.

In the spirit of Tavistock Cup competition, we have created an official dress code for the tournament; spectators are encouraged to wear either ALBANY PINK to show their support for TEAM ALBANY, ISLEWORTH RED to show their support for TEAM ISLEWORTH, LAKE NONA BLUE to show their support for TEAM LAKE NONA or QUEENWOOD GREEN to show their support for TEAM QUEENWOOD.

Welcome Welcome to the 2012 Tavistock Cup, the World Golf and Country Club Championship. Each year, this officially sanctioned PGA Tour event brings together the touring professional members of the finest golf and country clubs in a team competition recognized as golf’s ultimate global showdown. A locker room conversation between a handful of Isleworth and Lake Nona’s professional golfers about who might win in a friendly interclub match were the playful beginnings the Tavistock Cup was built upon. Nine years later, the Tavistock Cup features four international teams and the greatest players in the game, making this event among the most spirited and distinctive sporting events in the world. The four-way competition between Albany, Isleworth, Lake Nona and Queenwood returns to Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, where the inaugural matches were held in 2004. Since the beginning, the Tavistock Cup’s traditions, surroundings and format have made the event both a player and fan favorite, and that continues today. In the spirit of Tavistock Cup competition, spectators wear the official team colors of their respective club to show support for their home team. Among the tournament’s most moving traditions is the Payne Stewart Salver Award, given each year in memory of the former Isleworth member and late champion golfer Payne Stewart to the Tavistock Cup player with the lowest score in the final round of the singles matches during Round 2. The Tavistock Cup is also known for its charitable giving. Through the commitment and generosity of Tavistock Cup’s patrons and sponsors and the Tavistock Foundation, millions of dollars have been donated to local, national and international charities. We extend our appreciation to Tavistock Cup’s contestants, sponsors, volunteers, spectators and staff. Thanks for joining us for the 2012 Tavistock Cup. We hope you enjoy two days of extraordinary golf and the world-class amenities Lake Nona has to offer.

LAKE NONA GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB

The 2012 Tavistock Cup returns to its roots at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, where the inaugural matches were held in 2004. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Lake Nona Golf & Country Club set new standards for golf communities when it opened in 1987. Lake Nona Golf & Country Club was fashioned on a 600-acre parcel of land in a remote area of southeast Orlando blanketed by towering oaks, pines and native cypress trees and surrounded by 1,000 acres of sparkling freshwater lakes. Once deemed too rural for residential development, the area offered an ideal landscape for an 18-hole golf course. Considered by many as one of Tom Fazio’s best early designs, Lake Nona was carefully routed through its natural surroundings to ensure the golf course was given top priority. Since 2004, the world-ranked golf course has been a regular host of the PGA Tour-sanctioned Tavistock Cup. Today it is also recognized as one of the most inviting communities in the world offering a wealth of amenities that includes an outstanding fitness center, formal dining and casual dining options, exceptional programming for children, a well-appointed golf shop and an 18-room guest lodge. In addition to its deep traditions of golf, Lake Nona Golf & Country Club’s surrounding lakes provide excellent freshwater fishing and boating opportunities. A splendid array of luxury residences, with unparalleled lake and golf course views, showcase the south’s leading custom builders. But Lake Nona Golf & Country Club is more than just a luxury golf community with a premier golf course; the community is situated in convenient proximity to one of the world’s best airports and forms a cornerstone to Tavistock Group’s innovative 7,000-acre mixed-use Lake Nona development that includes education, medical and recreational facilities.

Lake nona medical City

Opening Fall 2012

Planned and built from scratch, Lake Nona is a place where a forward-thinking framework of sustainable design practices, smart growth features and 21st-century technology meet quality education, wellness and environmental amenities, diverse workspaces, dynamic neighborhoods and a biotechnology cluster that will offer some of the best scientific research, medical training and patient care in the nation. Much of those elements have arrived or on the immediate horizon for this 7,000-acre community, making the next 12 months the biggest year in the history of Lake Nona. The master-planned community’s marquee draw, Lake Nona Medical City celebrates the opening of three major medical institutions. The University of Florida Research & Academic Center, Nemours Children’s Hospital and the Orlando VA Medical Center join the Medical City’s anchor institutions, the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute and the University of Central Florida College of Medicine. Innovative partnerships and collaborations were critical in developing the initial infrastructure for Lake Nona. And now the collective impact of Lake Nona’s many collaborations can be seen working on dozens of fronts - in education, technology, sustainability, innovation and health and wellness through initiatives like the Lake Nona Institute and GE’s Ecomagination and Healthymagination programs, products fostering sustainability and healthy living. Lake Nona’s newest neighborhood, Laureate Park has been setting new standards for sustainable design since it opened in the fall. Designed around Lake Nona Medical City and offering commutes condensed to walks and bike rides, Laureate Park delivers transitional architectural styles, environmentally friendly building materials and hightech energy saving systems not found anywhere in the market.
