Organizing method
The Duke of Edinburgh Cup is an annual international golf series organized by the International Youth Golf Organization. Every event held in a certain country or region becomes the national level 'Duke of Edinburgh Cup' of that year. These competitions follow the handicap system of the Stapleton scoring system and comply with R&A or USGA rules.
At least two qualifying players are invited to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Cup World Finals held in England in the autumn for each event. The expenses of these qualifying players are all included, including airfare, hotel accommodation, transportation, welcome dinner, three rounds of golf, and the award dinner at Windsor Castle. The payment for this series of events is approved by R&A, but no direct fees are paid to the qualifying players.
If sufficient funds are raised for a single event, the trustee of IGFY may decide to increase the number of qualifying participants for that event.
The 36 hole World Championship will last for two days and be held at two famous golf courses near London. In addition, there is a friendly match with members of the Royal Golf Club located in Windsor Castle.
The climax of the event was the official awards dinner held at the State Hall of Windsor Castle, with the attendance of a member of the royal family adding luster to the event.
