{{Short description|Women's amateur golf competition}} The '''Patsy Hankins Trophy''' is a women's [[amateur golf]] competition on the model of the [[Ryder Cup]], corresponding to the men's [[Bonallack Trophy]]. The competition opposes every two years a [[Team Europe|European team]] and a team representing Asia/Pacific, and the venue alternates between courses in Europe and Asia/Pacific.<ref>{{cite web|title=Patsy Hankins Trophy 2016|url=http://www.ega-golf.ch/sites/default/files/pht_2016_results.pdf|website=European Golf Association|accessdate=21 December 2017}}</ref>
The Trophy is named after Patsy Hankins (1945–2015), one of the most respected golf administrators New Zealand has produced.<ref>{{cite web|title=Patsy Hankins Trophy|url=http://www.golf.org.au/site/_content/document/00031255-source.pdf|website=GolfAustralia|accessdate=21 December 2017}}</ref> The first competition took place in 2016 at Vidago Palace Golf Course, Portugal.<ref>{{cite web|title=Green seals Asia-Pacific win|url=http://www.golfwa.org.au/cms/2016/03/green-seals-asia-pacific-win/|website=GolfAustralia|accessdate=21 December 2017}}</ref>
==Format== The Patsy Hankins Trophy involves various [[match play]] competitions between players selected from two teams of twelve representing Europe and Asia-Pacific. It takes place over three days, with a total of 32 matches being played, all matches being over 18 holes. The first two days comprise five foursomes matches and five four-ball matches. On the final day, there are 12 singles matches, when all twelve players compete.
The winner of each match scores a point for his team, with a half point each for any match that is tied after the 18 holes. The winning team is determined by cumulative total points. In the event of a tie (16 points each) the Patsy Hankins Trophy is retained by the previous holder.
A [[foursomes]] match is a competition between two teams of two golfers. On a particular hole the golfers on the same team take alternate shots playing the same ball. One team member tees off on all the odd-numbered holes, and the other on all the even-numbered holes. Each hole is won by the team that completes the hole in the fewest shots. A [[Four-ball golf|fourball]] match is also a competition between two teams of two golfers, but all four golfers play their own ball throughout the round rather than alternating shots. The better score of the two golfers in a team determines the team's score on a particular hole; the score of the other member of the team is not counted. Each hole is won by the team whose individual golfer has the lowest score. A singles match is a standard match play competition between two golfers.
