Sunday 20^th December – Winter Cup Rd 3

Last weeks decision to postpone this round proved well founded as 17 played on a dry if blustery morning. With the new handicapping system in place there is no longer a CSS score for the round. 

1st John Pennycott (12) – 62 and lowest gross

2nd Douglas Auld (17) – 63

3rd  Gus MacLeod (12 – 65

4th David Brookens (10) – 67

Kevin McAleney bagged the only 2 of the day at the 7th hole.

Saturday 5th December – ALGU Drumadoon

20 Arran ladies played in the Drumadoon at Whiting Bay and enjoyed a beautiful winters day overhead conditions ideal for golf. Scoring was difficult however and CSS went out to 65. Local knowledge was clearly no disadvantage and three of the top six placings went to Whiting Bay members. Lynda Blair topped the list to win by 2 shots from Mary Jo Tod of Brodick.

1st Lynda Blair, WBGC (21) – 63

2nd Mary Jo Tod, Shiskine GC (28) – 65

3rd Lesley Wood, WBGC (22) – 66

4th Doreen Mainds, WBGC  (11) – 68

Ann May of Brodick GC scored the lowest gross of 76 strokes.

Sunday 6^th December – AGA Winter League Rd 2

Sunday 6^th December saw us host the second round of this season’s event and happily we had no weather issues to contend with other than a hard frost and bitter cold. That improved as the morning progressed and most of the golf was played in fine winter sunshine. The WBGC team prevailed over Machrie by 1&1/2 to 1/2 with John Pennycott & Dougie Auld winning against Campbell Laing and Brian Sherwood while Stan Rainey and David Blair halved their game with David Jeffery and A. Morrison-Cowan. In the other ties Brodick beat Corrie while Lamlash and Shiskine halved their match.

The January round is played at Corrie on Sunday 10th January when we play Shiskine GC.
