4th Stan Rainey (11) – 37

Sunday 19th March – Lamlash Friendly
A good turnout of 24 golfers enjoyed a fine morning for the final round of our winter friendlies against Lamlash played over our own course at Whiting Bay. Unfortunately the recent heavy rain made for heavy going underfoot but the tees and greens stood up well to the challenge, thanks to the efforts of Stewart and George in preparing the course.
The match resulted in a victory to Lamlash by 4 games to 2. Lamlash also took the series with an emphatic 11 – 4 winning margin. Congratulations to them on fine performance over the course of the event.
In the individual Stableford sweep, the first three places went to home players with Jamie Macpherson coming out on top with 37 Stableford points, a fine score considering the conditions. Jamie also took the Auld Cronies trophy with a score of 71 points over his best two rounds of the series.
1st Jamie Macpherson (5) – 37 points
