The Michael Carter Award
On February 13, 2002, former Penn State University golfer and GCAA Palmer Cup intern Michael Carter died in an automobile accident at the young age of 19. While Carter tragically left this world too soon, his infectiously fun-loving spirit will forever live in this competition. The Michael Carter “Junior” Memorial Award is presented to the Palmer Cup participant from each team who best represents the qualities and ideals that made this young man unique. Michael Thompson of Tucson, Arizona and Jonas Enander Hedin of Taby, Sweden, claimed the 2008 award.
