Forty-seven years ago, Pete Cox of the Georgia State Golf Association and Charles Rountree, Jr. of the South Carolina Golf Association formalized the idea of the GA - SC team matches. The winning team has their victory inscribed on the beautiful Rountree - Cox trophy that was donated by the Rountree family. Every junior golfer that has participated in the 47-year-old competition will find his name on the trophy with his teammates. Teams from both states were selected by accepting the top eight finishers at each state's Junior Championship.
