The 18th Annual Atchison-Holt Ryder Cup took place on Saturday and Sunday, July 22 and 23, 2023, between Rock Port Golf & Country Club, Mound City Golf Club, and Tarkio Golf Club. The tournament began in Rock Port on Saturday morning with a 9-hole scramble, then moved to Tarkio in the afternoon for a 9-hole best ball round. The tournament continued in Mound City on Sunday with teams playing a 9-hole scramble on the front 9 and finished with a 9-hole modified alternate shot. All three golf courses were in great shape this year and each club should be very proud. The results of the 18th Annual Atchison-Holt Ryder Cup are as follows:
