The
Caledonian Cup took place the last Sunday in August. This is a Better Ball Pairs
Medal event which had a good field and even the weather failed to put a damper
on things.
Some excellent scores were recorded and it was one of the more
mature partnerships of Bill Gibson & Derek Holt who well and truly
flattened the field with a Net 58 to win the trophy. They had a four shot
cushion over the nearest rivals who came in with net 62. Three pairs had the
same score and it took a card playoff to decide the placings. After the count
back 2nd place was awarded to Derek Roy lance & Jon Slack, with
John Burrows & Peter Taylor taking 3rd place and Peter Pierce
& Mike (Doc) Sumner the 4th and final prize.
The next big event will be Finals day on 21st
September when the various Knock-Out Competitions will be concluded.
