Sunday 10th July – Whiting Bay Improvements Trophy
24 played in this popular open Stableford and enjoyed a beautiful summer’s day on the golf course. Bright sunshine and clear skies made for amazing views from the top of the course and the overhead conditions were more than matched by the playing conditions. The course is in superb shape just now and looking good for “The Open” in a couple of weeks time. Robert McNaught, enjoying a good season already, went one further than his recent runners up spot to win convincingly by 3 points from Graeme Crichton and claim his first WBGC trophy.
1st Robert McNaught (13) – 40 points
2nd Graeme Crichton (13) – 37 acb
3rd Gavin Mainds (7) – 37 acb
4th Andrew Martin (13) – 37
Dunca Heenan and Gavin Mainds each scored 2s at the 4th while Stewart Mackintosh did likewise at the 17th.

Sunday 3rd July – The Morton Quaich
21 played in the 2022 Morton Quaich, a stroke play trophy first contested in 1977. The 2021 iteration produced some outstanding scoring (a net 53 won the sweep) but this year’s version encountered tougher conditions with a cold blustery wind calling for very careful shot making. Cameron Bruce was undeterred however, returning a fine net 59 to win by 2 shots.
1st Cameron Bruce (22) – 59
2nd Robert McNaught (14) – 61
3rd David Blair (14) – 62 acb
4th Ryan Armstrong (7) – 62
Nicol Auld returned the lowest gross score on 68 and a total of 7 2s were recorded, Neil Mckechnie @ 2 & 17, Stewart Mackintosh @ 4, Ronnie Mann @ 6 , David Morrison @ 7, David Mair @ 12, Jamie Macpherson @17.

Wednesday 29th June – The Cancer Relief Stableford (Open)
24 played in the first of our Summer charity support opens and enjoyed conditions far better than forecast. A dry bright day with a steady breeze allowed for good scoring and exactly half the field returned 30 points or better. Neil McKechnie came out top though with a fine score of 40 points to pip Duncan Heenan by one shot.
1st Neil Mckechnie (12) – 40 points
2nd Duncan Heenan (12) – 39
3rd Steven Baillie (23) – 36 acb
4th Cameron Bruce (22) – 36
