The 18th Annual Crypto Cup Golf Tournament was held on Friday, June 28, 2019.

A total of 113 players gathered at the Compass Pointe Golf Courses, in Pasadena, Maryland to enjoy a day of fun and friendly competition.

Registration/breakfast began at 7:30 a.m. with a Captain’s Choice format. Volunteers ensured that everyone checked in and received goody bags, manned two snack stations, and photographed the event.

The day was a scorching 92 degrees and the golf was hot too! The winning team came in at 60 and the 2nd and 3rd place teams tied with a 61. The NCMF team played a respectable 68. Well done everyone!

A mega-putt contest (new sponsorship by Flash Technology Group) was held before the tee-off with a $100 gift certificate won by Ronnie Gray, retired Eagle Alliance employee. Nearly $600 was raised at the always popular Spy Hole where players posed for photos in various stages of disguise. Players also enjoyed a Hot Dog at the Turn (new sponsorship by Seagate Government Solutions).

After 18 holes of play, everyone gathered together for a BBQ Buffet lunch and awards. Eagle Alliance presented a check to the National Cryptologic Museum Foundation for $32,000 and has now raised over $700,000 with this event in 18 years. SINCEREST OF THANKS TO EAGLE ALLIANCE!

Congratulations to the team from Chesapeake Network Installations (CNI) for taking first place. The winning team takes home a “replica” of the original Crypto Cup trophy which is displayed at the National Cryptologic Museum along with a framed picture of the winning team receiving the award. The winning team was also recognized at a special ceremony and lunch on September 11, 2019 at the National Cryptologic Museum. (See photos below.)

The raffle was done as a Lucky Draw raffle, where participants placed tickets in the bag for the items they most wanted to win. Items included a wine basket, a cooler backpack with beer, two flag baskets, a Fireball party bucket and more (donated by the NCMF), a basket from Mission BBQ, a golf club bag, and a Looney Tunes lithography appraised for over $1200!
