Amateur Golf as It Once Was

Past USGA President Sandy Tatum and PGA Tour Professional George Kelley founded the Stocker Cup to restore West Coast prominence in amateur golf — in honor of their friend, Peter C. Stocker, who perished surveying the ranch upon which the Preserve now sits.

The Inspiration

Golf & the
Spirit of Fellowship

Fellowship — players walking together

In 1990, past USGA President Sandy Tatum and one-time PGA Tour Professional George Kelley founded the Stocker Cup in honor of their dear friend and Preserve Golf Club visionary, Peter C. Stocker.

The principal aim was to create an event that honored the man and the game he loved by combining two great joys of his life — golf, and the spirit of fellowship engendered through competition.

“As commercial interests crowded in, something had been lost… something the two men intended to restore in the name of their friend, Pete Stocker.”
