About Event

The Battle of Butler is a Ryder Cup–style golf match between the Texas Cowboys and the Silver Spurs—two of the most historic service organizations at the University of Texas. For the first time ever, these groups go head-to-head at the iconic Butler Pitch & Putt, bringing alumni and active members together for an afternoon that’s competitive, social, and rooted in tradition.

Both organizations are known for firing Smokey the Cannon and caring for Bevo, but the Battle of Butler is about more than that. It’s about reconnecting with people, enjoying a great setting, and having some fun while competing for charity dollars—with golf, live music, food, drinks, and a laid-back Austin atmosphere.
