Caledonian League

Midweek Daytime, Gents over 50s, 4 Ball matchplay handicap league, 10 fixtures, team of 12, Team Contact: David Reid

Home games are 12.15 for 1.00, away games to be advised along with any dress expectations. 

Team for each fixture will be picked from the squad of 36 who added their name to the list on the noticeboard and players are asked to reconfirm their availability if picked.

Teams will be posted here and on the club noticeboard 2 weeks before each fixture.
 
Cost remains £11 (home or away) which includes welcoming hot roll and coffee and high tea after the match. 

 The Caledonian League has in effect two AGMs: The first in early April when Fixtures are finalised and ideas are mooted for changes and improvements to the League format. The second is in late September when the season is complete. Prizes are given and then formal proposals and seconds for the best and most practical ideas mooted in April. 
There were three serious ideas put forward for consideration which will be of interest to you:

1. There is a strong possibility that the Caledonian League will consist of four groups from next Spring. Over the years several Golf Clubs such as Ballumbie Castle and The Grange, have requested to join the Group. The Caledonian Committee is minded to ask other Clubs within Angus and Fife if they would be interested in joining, to a maximum of six clubs, giving four groups of six. All current Club representatives have been asked to submit up to twelve clubs of their choosing. Your representatives are compiling that list now. We prefer 18 hole courses.

2. One of the Fife clubs suggested we change to three up and three down at the end of the season for a greater variety of clubs to visit each year. This was mooted in the past by Royal Montrose but was turned down on a vote. However, your representatives thought this a positive suggestion and the feeling was it would win more support next time round.
 
3. Another Fife club suggested that we should zone the clubs if we went to four groups i.e. North and South with some sort of play off at the end of the season. Your representatives feel that the joy of the Caledonian League is in the variety and that this last suggestion, although saving on time, travel and diesel would mean visiting the same clubs too often. All other business was simple and routine and we now look forward to a sunny and successful season.
