The Gibson Challenge Cup
Foursomes Competition on Braids No. 1

The Gibson Challenge Cup was first presented in 1907 and provides a wonderful opportunity to play foursomes golf and to compete in one of the oldest golf tournaments for ladies in the Edinburgh area. It is a handicap competition and this year is being held over the weekend of Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd October so if your diary is free that weekend, do find yourself a partner and enter.

Played over Braids No.1 Golf Course, the format includes a medal foursomes qualifying round (off handicap, max 30) with the opportunity to play at least once more over the Braids -all for the entry fee of only £16 per couple.

The four best net scores from the Saturday morning qualifying round go through to the matchplay knock-out stages and a Consolation Plate is played for using the Stableford points scoring system following the Sunday morning semi-finals. Competitors need to be available on the morning of Saturday 1st October and, if they wish to and qualify to take part in the matchplay stages, should be available both Sunday morning and afternoon.
