Six seasons of the rivalry.

Six seasons of the Pulliam Classic are on the books, and HAP has won four of them to BOC's two. BOC's titles came back to back, at Kiawah in 2023 and Southern Pines in 2024, before HAP took the cup back at Sand Valley in 2025. Everything below comes from the original scorebooks: reconstructed where the paper survived, and honestly marked as missing where it did not.

1st edition2020HAP 8–6

HAP 8-6 across The River and Aiken

The River Golf Club · Aiken Golf ClubNorth Augusta, South Carolina3 rounds · Best Ball / Mixed Best Ball and Singles

The earliest season in the archive ran three rounds and 14 matches at The River Golf Club in North Augusta and Aiken Golf Club, and HAP took it 8-6. The workbook never marked the match winners, so the results were reconstructed from the recorded net scores and confirmed line by line; the sequence reconciles exactly to the source's 8-6 final, though the hole-by-hole margins are gone for good. Ross Pulliam had the low net of the week at 213, built on a 63 net in the opening round, and Thomas Clark's 233 was the field's best gross.

2nd edition2021Final unknown

HAP's cup, half the scoreboard

True Blue Golf Club · Caledonia Golf & Fish ClubPawleys Island, South Carolina4 rounds · Best Ball / Scramble / Mixed Scramble and Singles

Four rounds in Pawleys Island, two at True Blue and two at Caledonia, with 22 matches on the card. HAP won the cup, and for years that was nearly all the record could say, because the workbook's result cells were left blank. A recovered scoreboard photo later restored the ten True Blue matches, which showed HAP ahead 5.5-4.5 at the halfway mark, with the 7&5 best-ball win by Heath Myers and Ben Taylor standing as the largest recovered margin. The twelve Caledonia matches and the official final score are still missing; the full recovery story is below.

HAP champion confirmed; 5.5–4.5 is a Rounds 1–2 subtotal; Matches 11–22 and the final score unknown

3rd edition2022HAP 10.75–6.25

A 17-match Classic goes to HAP, 10.75-6.25

Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club · Southern Pines Golf Club · Mid Pines Inn & Golf ClubSouthern Pines, North Carolina4 rounds · Scramble / Best Ball / Mixed Best Ball and Singles

The Sandhills trip covered Pine Needles, Southern Pines, and Mid Pines, but weather cancelled the third round outright, so the cup was decided over 17 matches and HAP won 10.75-6.25. Bradham Wilder's last-minute absence forced three solo-versus-two matches, each split into two nine-hole halves; at Mid Pines, Will Lawson played one of them alone and beat Sam Salvato 2&1 on the front nine and Rhett Postal 1-up on the back to take the full point by himself. BOC's best stretch came in the Southern Pines round, won 3.25-1.75.

4th edition2023BOC 12–8

Kiawah: BOC's first title, 12-8

Cougar Point at Kiawah Island Golf Resort · Turtle Point at Kiawah Island Golf Resort · Osprey Point at Kiawah Island Golf Resort · The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf ResortKiawah Island, South Carolina4 rounds · Best Ball / Scramble / Singles Matchplay

Four rounds across Kiawah Island Golf Resort, at Cougar Point, Turtle Point, Osprey Point, and finally The Ocean Course, and BOC won 12-8 for the team's first title in the books. BOC won every segment of the week: 2.5-1.5 at Cougar Point, 5-3 across the Turtle and Osprey rounds, and 4.5-3.5 in the Ocean Course singles finale. Adam Nelson made a hole-in-one for HAP, which stood as their highlight of the week.

5th edition2024BOC 13.5–6.5

BOC 13.5-6.5, wire to wire

Southern Pines Golf Club · Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club · Mid Pines Inn & Golf ClubSouthern Pines, North Carolina4 rounds · Best Ball / Scramble / Singles Matchplay

Back to the Sandhills, September 12-14, at Southern Pines, Pine Needles, and Mid Pines, and BOC won all four rounds on the way to a 13.5-6.5 final, the widest margin of any season with a complete recorded result. The rounds went 3-1, 2.5-1.5, 3-1, and 5-3 in the closing singles, so the lead never came under threat. Zach Eisenman and Will Lawson's 6&5 best-ball win in the opening round set the tone early.

6th edition2025HAP 12–8

Sand Valley: HAP 12-8, built on Day 1

Mammoth Dunes · Sedge Valley · Sand ValleyRome, Wisconsin4 rounds · Scramble / Best Ball / Singles Matchplay

The Classic went to Sand Valley in Wisconsin, playing Mammoth Dunes, Sedge Valley, and the namesake course, and HAP won 12-8. The damage was all on Day 1: HAP took the Mammoth Dunes scramble 3-1 and the Sedge Valley four-ball 3-1 for a 6-2 lead. BOC played HAP dead even on Day 2, splitting the Sand Valley four-ball 2-2 and the closing singles 4-4, but the Day 1 hole was too deep to climb out of. Max McClure and Henry Atkins each went 4-0 for HAP.

The recovery project

The missing half of 2021

For years, 2021 existed as a season with a confirmed champion and no numbers: HAP won the cup, and every result cell in the workbook was blank. In August 2026 a photo of the physical scoreboard surfaced, and its transcription restored Matches 1-10, the two True Blue rounds, showing HAP ahead 5.5-4.5 through ten matches. That is a Rounds 1-2 subtotal, and it is treated as exactly that; it is not a final score. The Caledonia rounds, Matches 11-22, remain blank end to end: no participants, no winners, no margins, and no official final tally.

HAP 5.5–BOC 4.5 is the recovered Rounds 1–2 subtotal only. It is not a final tournament score. Matches 11–22 and the final score remain unknown.

The ask: If you were on that trip, dig through your 2021 camera roll, the old group texts, and whatever golf bag pocket has not been emptied since Pawleys Island. A scorecard from Caledonia, a photo of the final board, even a group shot with the scoreboard in the background would do it. One legible photo rebuilt half the season; one more finishes the job.
