Sunday 3rd April – The Roy Ure Tankard

by

Sunday 3rd April – The Roy Ure Tankard

Our traditional season opener, the Roy Ure Tankard, welcomed a field of  14 players and playing from the white tees, scoring was less stellar than in recent yellow tee events. That said 11 cards were returned in the 30 point plus range although no 2s were recorded, a testament perhaps to the tricky putting conditions. Continuing his current run of form John Pennycott ran out the winner on a creditable 39 Stableford points.

1st John Pennycott (12) – 39 points

2nd Gus MacLeod (14) – 37

3rd Cameron Bruce (26) – 36

31st March 2022 – Clubhouse Closure

by

*** CLUBHOUSE CLOSURE – QUIZ CANCELLED Friday 1st April ***

 
Unfortunately COVID has struck and one of the clubhouse staff has tested positive. Accordingly the clubhouse will remain closed until Sunday 3rd April which means that the Friday quiz on 1st April will be cancelled.
 
We apologise for this unwelcome development but feel that in the interest of the wellbeing of staff, members and visitors it is the only option realistically open to us.

Summer Draws for Sunday Competitons

Summer Draws for Sunday Competitions

Starting with our April fixtures we will revert to a draw for our Sunday medals, cups etc. 

As previously the draw will be entirely optional and player are free to make up their own groupings outwith the draw but the following changes should be noted

There will be one draw only at 10am. The tee will be reserved for approximately four games but this can be changed if more tee times are needed.

Normally the competition will be closed off after the last game of the draw has started BUT if players wish to play later all they have to do is let someone at the club know, preferably the day before if possible, and their game will be accommodated.

Reverting to a draw should enable us to hold a presentation in the clubhouse soon after the last cards have been handed in. This was always a popular feature of our Sunday games but where late games are being played the result can be held over until later.

Sunday 27th March – Yellow Tees Stableford

Sunday 27th March – Yellow Tees Stableford

14 played on a fine morning with the course shaping up very nicely after the recent spell of good weather. Most took full advantage and 10 players matched or bettered par. Neillie McKechnie outshone them all however with an exemplary 45 points on a card that included five birdies, three of them magic 2s. 

1st Neil McKechnie (11) – 45 points

2nd Neil Lucas (13) – 43

3rd Gus MacLeod (14) – 42

2s came from Nellie McKechnie at holes 2,11 and 17. Gus MacLeod at 4 and David Brookens at 17.
