The greens having been recently cored we played a non counting Stableford and 10 played. Safe to say some coped with the putting surfaces better than others and they certainly did nothing to hinder the top scorers with Gus Macleod and John Pennycott both returning 41 points. Gus prevailed on a back nine countback. No 2s were recorded.
1st Gus MacLeod (15) – 41 points acb.
2nd John Pennycott (14) – 41
3rd Douglas Auld (19) – 36 acb
6 played and the wise decision to go early in two ball pairings mostly paid off with the rain coming only at the very end of the round. On a course playing its full length, John Pennycott pipped David Blair to win by one stroke.
1st John Pennycott (14) – 60
2nd David Blair (14) – 61
3rd Jamie MacPherson (6) – 66
Nicol Auld carded the best gross score with a level 4s 72 which just bettered Jamie Macpherson’s gross on a back nine countback.
12 played on a bright morning during which the rain forecast for later in the day made an early appearance but late enough in the morning to let the field reach the clubhouse reasonably dry. Captain Stan Rainey carded the lowest gross score to win by 3 shots from Sandy Pringle. Ryan Barklay, who endured a tough time on the outward stretch, holed a fine pitch to the 10th green for the only 2 of the day.
1st Stan Rainey (12) – 59 and lowest gross
2nd Sandy Pringle (14) – 62
3rd John Pennycott (14) – 65 acb
Well, it’s that time of year again and we’ll be playing for the Tam Young on Wednesdays throughout the winter.
