NORSE CUP RESULTS

Sunday saw a new mixed competition on our calendar. The Norse Cup, which was presented by Norwegian Golfers as a thank you to Strathmore, was played as a mixed event with a slightly different format than usual. Marion Robertson and Iain Butchart our mixed conveners, organised the event and the format was that the pairings were random and that both nett scores were combined. The winners were Dawn Butchart and Lee Bushby both playing under their 5 and 6 handicap, won by 9 clear shots. Well done both.
The full results were as follows:

Dawn Butchart & Lee Bushby 139
Chris Brand & Gillian Allardice 148

A great day was had by all especially those who enjoyed yet another fabulous meal following the event!!
