Sunday 3rd October – The Hamilton Salver
15 played and enjoyed a fine morning’s golf with weather that never quite matched the forecasters’ dire predictions. Scoring was on the whole reasonable but Neil ‘Sonic’ Lucas left the field in his wake with a net 58 to win by 7 shots from his nearest rival. A Supersonic performance.
1st Neil Lucas (14) – 58
2nd Tom Paterson (0) – 64 and lowest gross
3rd Duncan Heenan (12) – 65
Tom scored the only 2 of the day at the 13th
Wednesday 29th September – Yellow Tees Stableford
12 played in a gentle Stableford from the yellow tees on the last golfing day of the summer season. Jamie Macpherson continued where he left off on Sunday and stormed home with a fine 40 points in a round containing 11 3s and only one 5.
1st Jamie Macpherson (3) – 40 points
2nd Neil Lucas (14) – 38 acb
3rd Tom Paterson (0) – 38
Stan Rainey and Gus MacLeod scored the only 2s of the day at the 2nd and 15th respectively.
2021- 2022 Winter Sweeps
The winter sweeps will be starting next Wednesday, 6th October, with the first round of the Tam Young Tankard. The format will be much as before but there are changes to the handicapping system.
All players will start off with their official Scottish Golf (WHS) playing handicap so please make sure you know what it is from the yellow or red tees.
The first round in which a player participates will be the only round in which the Scottish Golf handicap will be required. Thereafter all handicaps, which are for the winter only and are completely unofficial, will be adjusted only in accordance with the winter sweep rules. These are detailed on the winter sweep poster but are summarised as follows.
There is no longer any ‘3 consecutive rounds’ rule before a handicap can rise – one sub 30 non-winning points round will trigger an increase – and there is no ceiling on the handicaps.
