The 16th Annual Crypto Cup Golf Tournament was held on Friday, June 9, 2017.

Tournament day was a beautiful warm day with temperatures in the 80s. A total of 124 players gathered at the Patuxent Greens Golf Course, in Laurel, MD, to enjoy a day of fun and competition. Registration/breakfast began at 7:30 a.m. with a Shotgun Start and Tee-off at 8:30 a.m. The fantastic crew of Eagle Alliance volunteers got all of our players checked in, distributed player gift bags, manned beverage stations, and photographed the event. A Mega-Putt Contest was held before the tee-off with a $100 gift certificate won by Kurt Hodges of FEDDATA.

After 18 holes of play, everyone gathered for a Country Buffet lunch and award ceremony. Eagle Alliance presented a check to the National Cryptologic Museum Foundation for $30,000. The final amount raised will total over $34,000 after a donation from Patuxent Greens Golf Course (based on the 5-year average from holding the tournament for five consecutive years). Over $500 was raised at the Spy Hole where players posed as spies for team photos.
