The Fried Egg Cup
The side-comp of all side-comps. Birthed by Lj on the terrace of Killarney Country Club - The Fried Egg Cup was born in 2022!
The Fried Egg Cup (FEC) runs from one Galloway Invitational to the next (1 June to 30 April). Those participating compete on a monthly basis by submitting their best Stableford score, from two monthly-pre-nominated rounds, which is then tallied and totalled at the end of the season to determine a winner.
The following iteration of the Fried Egg Cup starts in the month immediately after the concluding Galloway Invitational.
Rob’s monthly summaries of the FEC events and happenings should be bundled and published - it will result in a best seller.
