(Antigonish, NS) October 20, 2008
- The Old Guys have hoisted the Elders’ Cup again. After five years of
playing second fiddle to the youthful contingent of Atlantic golf
professionals, the Old Guys, with mature vigor and determination, have
started their own dynasty. They backed up last year’s win with a
commanding performance, outplaying the Young Guns in all formats again
this year for a 16 to 8 win.
The Old Guys got off to a fast start taking Saturday’s
four-ball matches 5 - 1 and the foursome matches 3 ˝ to 2 ˝ , for a lead
of 8 ˝ to 3 ˝ after the first day of competition. In Sunday's singles
matches, The Old Guys continued their dominance, winning seven and
drawing one of twelve matches. The Elder's Cup is again the property of
The Old Guys, along with bragging rights for the year.
The Elder’s Cup is the season ending event on the CPGA
Atlantic Tour. The matches are
contested in Ryder Cup style. Saturday morning matches are four ball,
while the afternoon competition is foursomes. Twelve singles matches
round things up on Sunday. The team event matches twelve CPGA Atlantic
professionals 34 years and younger ( The Young Guns ) with an equal
number of professionals, who are 35 years and older, ( The Old Guys ).
The annual competition was played in beautiful fall
weather on 18-19 October at the well conditioned and always hospitable
Antigonish Golf & CC, Antigonish, NS.
