IT IS not
often that a Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church wins a prize in his own
Invitational Golf Tournament, but the Most Revd Bruce Cameron (left), Primus
and Bishop of Aberdeen & Orkney, took part for the first time and did so
this year.
Fourteen
clergy and Synod staff, including two bishops, played in the traditional
tournament on the day before the recent Scottish General Synod.
The
tournament was held at the Merchants of Edinburgh Golf Club, and sponsored by
the Ecclesiastical Insurance Group.
This year’s
winner of the trophy was Canon Cliff Piper (right) and the runner-up was the
Revd Dr John Cuthbert.
The Primus
won the Best Bishop (of two) prize (the other Bishop was the Rt Revd Neville
Chamberlain of Brechin diocese), and Canon Bob Fyffe won the prize for best
newcomer.
