Dear Friends,
We hope you can join us for the 2015 Idaho Governor’s Cup in Sun Valley,
Idaho. Sun Valley is one of our favorite places, and we look forward to
spending time with you there this September.
As Idaho’s original resort destination, Sun Valley is a perfect venue for
the Idaho Governor’s Cup. I hope you are as excited as we are to see the
renovations at the Sun Valley Lodge and the new spa and pool. We will be
among the first guests to enjoy the wonderful new amenities.
The Governor’s Cup is in its 41st year. We are so proud of how this event
continues to grow and so thankful for our continuing supporters as well as
the new sponsors we welcome each year. Thank you.
We have set a new record for fundraising for the Idaho Governor’s Cup
Scholarship Fund each year. Last year in Coeur d’Alene we raised a little
over $1.1 million. We hope to once again raise the bar this year!
All the Idaho students who applied for the Idaho Governor’s Cup
Scholarship are exceptional young people. This year we were able to give
a record 38 scholarships and during our administration we have helped
183 great Idaho kids attend college right here at home. Growing this
scholarship fund so we can help many more students is our goal, as well as
an important investment in Idaho’s future.
The Idaho Governor’s
Cup Scholarship
The Idaho Governor’s Cup Scholarship is available to high school seniors and home school students
throughout Idaho. All proceeds from the Idaho Governor’s Cup are dedicated to funding this program.
Academic and professional-technical awards are offered to those students who plan to further their
education at an Idaho college or university and who demonstrate a strong commitment to public
service. Academic scholarship recipients receive $3,000 each year, renewable up to four years, while
scholarship recipients pursuing a professional-technical education or trade school education receive
$3,000 per year for the length of the program, up to three years. By participating in this year’s event,
you provide more opportunities for Idaho students to further their education in our great state.
For more information about the scholarship, please visit the State Board of
Education website at www.boardofed.idaho.gov/scholarship/gov_cup.asp
We look forward to seeing you in Sun Valley for a wonderful weekend of
golf, fly fishing, shotgun sports, evening entertainment and most of all great
friends and great fun.
“Thank you very much for supporting my college education in agribusiness at the University of Idaho by
contributing to the Idaho Governor’s Scholarship program. I greatly appreciate the effort put into students like
me to help pursue our passion so that we may meet our career goals.
As Always, Idaho – “Esto Perpetua”
Growing up on a family native grass seed farm on the Camas Prairie of Northern Idaho has developed in me
a love for agriculture. Because I have an older brother who graduated from the University of Idaho this spring
and is home to take over the family farm, I have decided to go a different route in agriculture and study the
marketing side of the grass seed business. My ultimate career goal is to market native grass seed, which is an
occupation where I can still be connected to the family farm. My deeps roots come from spending my summers
picking weeds out of fields, servicing equipment, operating combine, and driving truck, and I love it. Because of
your help, I am one step closer to a successful future.”

the Otter administration began
“I would like to express
my deepest gratitude and
appreciation for those who chose
me for the Idaho Governor’s
Cup Scholarship. I have worked
hard over the years in school
and have been able to expand
my education outside the
classroom, including volunteering
at St. Luke’s Hospital. Idaho has
given me so much and I will do
everything in my power to make
sure to honor your belief in me.
I would love to give back to the generous committee one day by
playing in the Idaho Governor’s Cup tournament so that I can help
students like me in the future. This scholarship will definitely help my
family by defraying the costs of my undergraduate degree so I can
continue to medical school which has been my dream since I was very
young. Thank you so much for making it possible for me to continue
my education at Boise State. I am excited for my bright future in
medicine and beyond.”
– Kinsley Bonfilio
Graduate of Bishop Kelly High School
Attending Boise State University
“I must thank you for providing me
with the greatest sense of freedom
I have felt in some time. My father
spent almost a decade undergoing
the process of emigrating here
legally from his home in El
Salvador in search of a safer place
with greater opportunity to start a
family. He then found work at the
JR Simplot Company and married
my mother. Growing up we did
not have much, but my parents
worked hard to ensure that we
were never left wanting. As such,
I have long felt that my only goal should be to ensure that their work
was not in vain. For me, obtaining a post-secondary education at no cost
to them was the greatest way of doing so.
My goals in college are to obtain a PhD. in Nuclear Engineering and
simply continue my pursuit of knowledge. Having the opportunity
to continue learning is indescribably exhilarating for me, and it is this
passion that allows me to assure you that I will truly make the most of
this wonderful gift.”

Golf
About the Golf Courses
Men and women have the opportunity to play golf together on two spectacular courses, the
Sun Valley Resort Golf Course and Elkhorn Golf Club. Golfers who have an established USGA
handicap of 36 or less are eligible to play in either the individual and team stroke format, or
the team scramble format, handicaps will be verified by August 28. There will be three flights
of gross and net individual play and in addition, each day will have a team event with winners
determined by the best two scores of the foursomes.
There will be a “net” score component to the golf scramble tournament. We will continue
to have a “gross” contest as we have in the past. Winners will be named in both the “gross”
and “net” contests in 2015. In order to manage the “net” component of the tournament, we
need to calculate a team handicap for each team playing in the “net” format. If you have an
established handicap please enter it in the box titled “known handicap” when you register
online. If you do not have a handicap, please enter your estimated usual average score for 18
holes in the box titled “usual score.” A golf professional will assign a handicap for each player
who enters a usual score.
Tournament rounds begin on Friday morning and continue through Saturday and will be
played on both the Sun Valley Resort Course and Elkhorn Golf Club. A listing of teams and the
course you play first will be available at registration. We do not accommodate requests to play
a certain course on a certain day. If you are playing both days of the tournament you will have
the opportunity to play both courses. A boxed lunch will be provided on Friday and Saturday.
Please note that while tournament and practice round green fees are included in your registration,
tee times and pairings for the practice round on Thursday, September 10 are your responsibility to
set up. Please contact the pro shops directly.
Sun Valley Resort Golf Course

Elkhorn Golf Club
208-622-2271
REGISTRATION IS $1,500 PER PERSON ON OR BEFORE AUGUST 21.
Elkhorn Golf Course
Originally opened in 1974, Elkhorn Golf Club was created in the last collaboration between the
famous design team of father and son Robert Trent Jones Senior and Junior. After an extensive
renovation in 2004, the club reopened in 2005 and was acquired by the Sun Valley Company
in July of 2011. Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed the front nine, which is quite hilly, while Robert
Trent Jones Jr. designed the back nine which follows a creek and has a water hazard on every
hole but one.
With large undulated greens, 7,214 yards long from the tips, and boasting over 100 sand traps
and bunkers, Elkhorn will prove to be a test of your golfing abilities. Your concentration on the
game of golf will also be challenged, as the vistas ranging from the Elkhorn hillsides to Sun
Valley's White Clouds golf course fight for your attention.
Sun Valley’s Trail Creek Golf Course
Sun Valley golf was most recently recognized by Golf Digest as one of the top 75 resort
courses in North America. Sun Valley’s signature course, Trail Creek, promises to provide
a challenging round of golf for every level of player. Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed this
traditional alpine course in 1980 with a full compliment of stream carries and ominous bunkers
well positioned to catch the errant shot. Play crosses the beautiful Trail Creek seven times on
the front nine alone!
Coupled with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains and ever-present crystal blue skies,
you will find a round of golf on the Trail Creek Course a well-earned addition to any golf resume.
Shotgun Sports
Firearm Auction
Whether you are new to the sport or an experienced shooter, everybody has fun. This year’s event will take place at the Sun Valley Gun
Club, located on Trail Creek Road north of the Sun Valley Resort. This year, the shotgun sports event will kick off Wednesday evening,

At the 2015 Idaho Governor’s Cup we are pleased to be able to offer this special firearm for auction, during Saturday’s award ceremony.
