Race for Dornoch is on!
The updated table for Wryter Cup qualification after our Worplesdon meeting is here.
After our narrow defeat in Granville in October, 2024, the overall score now stands at PGS 16, APG 17.
The Wryter Cup between the PGS and our French counterparts in the Association Presse du Golf began in 1991, largely through the efforts of former PGS secretaries Ian Doran and Jeremy Chapman.
The match is 16 a side. The PGS team is made up of the captain; the secretary; the Emsley Carr matchplay winner and runner-up; two wildcards, picked by the captain; and the top 10 on the qualifying list.
The list is compiled by adding together each golfer’s best three finishing places in the qualifying events. The first qualifying event is the September meeting of the previous year; the last is Captain’s Day. This makes eight events in total.
The Past Captains day does not count, nor does the Scramble.
