THE THREE PUTT CUP
A TEAM EVENT
Like the Ryder Cup … but BIGGER!
The First Chapter
6 - 8 May 2022
The inaugural Three Putt Cup saw two teams (Pink vs. Blue) of 8 square off against each other over 5 rounds of golf at Highland Gate in May 2022.
It was Epic.
Despite most matches being close, a formidable Team Pink took the Honours 19.5 to 4.5 when all was said and done over the 3 days of play.
Walter Galloway was awarded the MVP award for his scintillating form!
The Tournament was contested on the revised format below, which was awesome fun and made for some tense, tightly fought matches. We used a super scoring App to keep track - below are the screenshots of the results over the 3 days.
The 2023 TPC will be played in November, and will be in the Western Cape and players will be invited to participate based on their standings on the 6month FEC (Fried Egg Cup) which is currently under way.
6 May 2022 | Day 1 am | Betterball Stableford (18 holes)
6 May 2022 | Day 1 pm | Scramble (9 holes)
7 May 2022 | Day 2 am | Combined Stableford (18 holes)
7 May 2022 | Day 2 pm | Greensomes (9 holes)
8 May 2022 | Day 3 am | Scramble (18 holes)
The Captains
-
Team Blue | Andrew Berry
Consummate Photographer. Dog walker. Beard Grower. Berry knows how to lead a Team. We hope. A stalwart of Galloway Golf, Andrew B looks to take the honours as the first winning Captain of the TPC.
-
Team Pink | Patrick Cairns
Finance Guru. Reiki and Hybrid Master. He may not hit it far, but it is almost always straight. Ish. Paddy is fiercely determined to prevent Berry from getting his paws on the TPC cup. Let’s see how this goes.
The Vice Captains

LJ “It’s toooo Beeeeg” Galloway will be holding Berry’s hand. He once putted into a bunker. And then putted out of it. Win!
