Edey, Tempro form winning golf duo
By Hallam Hope

Barbados won the Mid Amateurs title at the just-ended Caribbean Amateur Golf Championships in the Cayman Islands.
Charles Edey, forced to come in as a late replacement, and Billy Tempro won the Mid Amateurs championship by one stroke from the competitive Dominican Republic team of Juan Campusano and Miguel Ferris. Edey, the team manager, and Tempro compiled a score of 270 over the four days at the North Sound Club in Grand Cayman.

Edey came into the team after Scott Foster was promoted to the Hoerman Cup team following the late withdrawal of  James Johnson. Johnson returned home to deal with an emergency.
The Barbadian pair of Edey and Tempro put together their best round of 66 on the penultimate day Friday, which was three shots better than their opponents and enhanced their challenge. Edey never had a practice round since his intended role was that of team manager.
There was disappointment in the Seniors category where defending champions Ricky Skeete and Robert Piggott were disqualified on a technicality.

Skeete damaged his putter, which altered the characteristics of the club, and the team was consequently disqualified.
The pair were in contention for second place after being beaten by five shots by the victorious Puerto Rican combination of Luis de la Haba and Jesus “Susin” Velez.
