Saturday 29th June – AGA Hope Cup
Whiting Bay pulled off a creditable victory to beat the host club in the semi finals at Lochranza GC but unfortunately came up against a powerful Brodick team that prevailed comfortably in the final. Congratulations to them on their victory and thanks to Danny, Jamie, Nicol and Ryan for their efforts and for representing the club in such a sportsmanlike manner. Thanks also to the AGA for organising the event with its usual efficiency and to Lochranza GC for hosting. The course was in great condition and the layout proved itself more than equal to the task of hosting a ”major”.
Please note there is a minor error in the annual fixture list available through the club’s website. Nestor’s Jug is played on Sunday the 28th July – not the 29th as published.
Here’s a print of all fixtures for July. Don’t forget to check with the club for any last minute changes.

Sunday 23rd June – The Morton Quaich
19 played on a glorious morning which got even hotter as the day wore on so that by the end of the golf we were able to enjoy our refreshments in the sunshine at the outdoor tables behind the home green. Very entertaining, as was the tale of a past captain literally getting his knickers in a twist halfway through the back nine! But back to the golf. David Morrison shot a fine gross 70 to win by 2 shots from Kevin Jackson.
1st David Morrison (11) – 59
2nd Kevin Jackson (10) – 61
3rd Jamie Macpherson (5) – 62 acb and lowest gross
4th John Pennycott (13) – 62
CSS came down to 62 and there were 3 magic 2s all scored at the 17th by Laurence Blair, Wayne Dale and Jamie Macpherson
