Sunday 11th April – Yellow Tees Stableford

In a break with WBGC tradition, Sunday’s Yellow Tees Stableford will be a ‘Counter’ for handicap purposes. This will bring us into line with the ethos of the recently introduced world handicap system and it  may be this will become the norm rather than the exception.

While Covid restrictions are still with us, intimations to Scottish Golf require someone to attend the clubhouse sometime after the competition and enter scores via the internet. It is therefore essential that players clearly enter their full name, the name and date of the competition and scores returned on each hole on the score card.

Congratulations to Lesley Wood who won with a very fine score of 38 points.

1st Lesley Wood (22) – 38 points

2nd Lynda Blair (21) –   32 points

3rd  Doreen Mainds (12) – 27 points

Sunday 4th April – The Roy Ure Tankard

23 played in the Roy Ure Tankard, our popular Stableford season starter. Conditions were fine but the wintery conditions forecast for later in the day started to make their presence felt as a cool wind got progressively stronger as the morning progressed. Perhaps reflecting the long winter absence, scoring was steady rather than spectacular but 19 cards returned scores of 30 points or more and four players tied on 36 points. Congratulations though to Dave Hackett, winner of the prestigious Roy Ure Tankard for 2021 by the narrowest of margins – a countback on the last three holes of the front nine!

1st Dave Hackett (14) – 36 points acb

2nd Neil McKechnie (15) – 36 acb

3rd Sandy Pringle (14) – 36 acb

4th Ronnie Mann (12) – 36 acb

There were five 2s recorded; Jamie MacPherson and Jamie Stewart at the 2nd, Graeme Crichton at the 4th, David Brookens at the 13th and Jamie Stewart at the 17th.

April Fixtures

Here is the first monthly fixture list of the coming season. Please note an early alteration from the annual list already published. Due to the current restrictions and the difficulties in organising teams and a draw, the Poole Mixed Fours and the Tor Alvey Greensome have been put back to dates in early June.
