Scotland Wins Quaich Golf Skills Challenge

Team Scotland won the golf skills challenge held at the Archerfield Performance Centre on the evening prior to the commencement of the 2018 Quaich.   The players' skills were tested and scored in three categories: putting, chipping and full shots.  Scotland beat the USA by a slim 18 point margin. 

We asked Scotland captain Ronald "NSW Ronnie" Denholm if the results could be seen as an omen for the Quaich matches.  "I certainly hope so," said NSW Ronnie. "Although I  personally hope to do a wee bit better than I did tonight in the skills challenge."  NSW Ronnie finished in last place for Team Scotland in the skills challenge.

"Do you think I jus' fell off the turnip truck?"  said USA captain Chris "Guvna" Hughes when told of NSW Ronnie's comments. "Ronnie's sandbaggin'. He's so crooked, if he swallowed a nail, he spit up a corkscrew. With his handicap, he ain't going to be at the bottom of any list when the sun goes down."

We'll find out starting tomorrow!
