The 17th Annual Crypto Cup Golf Tournament was held on Thursday, September 27, 2018.

110 players gathered at the Compass Pointe Golf Course in Pasadena, Maryland to enjoy a day of fun and competition. 

Registration/breakfast began at 8:00 a.m. with a Shotgun Start and Tee-off at 9:00 a.m. Eagle Alliance volunteers checked in players, made sure everyone got a goody bag, manned two snack stations, and photographed the event. A mega-putt contest was held before the tee-off with a $100 gift certificate won by Todd Doherty of FEDDATA. Over $700 was raised at the Spy Hole where players posed for team photos in various stages of disguise. Make sure to check out photos below.

After 18 holes of play, everyone gathered together for a BBQ buffet lunch and award ceremony. The team from FedData took first place. Formal presentation of awards for the winners took place in November 2018 at a special awards and volunteer recognition event held at the National Cryptologic Museum. Learn about the winners below. 

Eagle Alliance presented a check to the National Cryptologic Museum Foundation for $35,000. The final amount will total over $46,000.
