Ruckers teed up to roll

The 2013 Cayman Rugby “Scrumble” Golf Tournament is set for tee off at the North Sound Club Golf Course this week.  

The tournament is on Friday, 15 March, and will be a four-ball scramble format with shotgun starts from 8am to 1pm with the usual putting competition, closest to the pin, longest drive and hole-in-one competitions.  

Plus Cayman’s only “Major” – in memory of Steven Hall-Jones, aka the Major – will be awarded to the winning team and more than $2,000 in prizes will be awarded. 

The tournament, in support of Cayman’s national team, kicks off the Cayman Rugby Union’s fundraising efforts ahead of the 2013 Caribbean Championships where the Cayman Islands are likely to face either the Bahamas or USA South (away) on 4 May followed by “Big Game 3” here in Cayman against Bermuda on 1 June.  

Last year’s tournament winners, Jacques Scott, will not be returning to defend their title.
