Sunday 26th March – Yellow Tees Stableford

17 played in our first Sunday competition under British Summer Time, a Stableford from the yellow tees and a counter for handicap purposes. Most took full advantage of the fine conditions and scoring was exceptionally good in the top half of the leaderboard. A level par round was only good enough for 6th place!

1st Danny Head (9) – 43 points
2nd Neil McKechnie (11) – 40
3rd David Blair (13) – 39
4th Stan Rainey (11) – 37

Danny Head returned a 2 at the 14th, Stan Rainey did likewise at the 4th and David Brookens went one better by scoring a 2 at the 13th and again at the 17th.

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
2nd Neil Lucas (14) – 34 acb
3rd Douglas Auld (20) – 34
4th Craig Young (+2) – 33
No 2’s were returned.
