Sunday 29th November – Yellow Tees Stableford

15 played and scoring was undoubtedly helped by the calm conditions. A level par 36 points was good enough only for 7th place! That said Graeme Crichton produced some spectacular golf, eleven 4s and seven 3s, three of them birdies, to win on 45 points.

1st Graeme Crichton (11) – 45 points

2nd Alan Kay (20) – 40

3rd Douglas Auld (17) – 39 acb

4th Andrew Martin (15) – 39

Andy Martin and David Blair bagged the only 2s of the day at the 4th and the 14th respectively.

Sunday 22^nd November – Yellow Tees Sweep

11 played and after some initial confusion about the format returned some very reasonable scores especially considering the recent handicap system revision which has reduced most playing handicaps. Dougie Auld carded a fine 61 off his new reduced handicap to win by 2 from Gavin Mainds.

1st Douglas Auld (17) – 61

2nd Gavin Mainds (7) – 63

3rd Stewart Hammond (26) – 65

Jamie Macpherson returned the best gross score of 70. David Morrison bagged the only 2s of the day at the 4th and 17th

This being a non  encounter there was no CSS.

Sunday 8^th November  – Winter Cup Rd 2

11 souls braved the rain and this being the first competition under the new ‘world handicap system’ there was no CSS.

1st David Morrison (13) – 57 and lowest scratch

2nd Dave Hackett (14) – 61

3rd Gus MacLeod (13) 65

4th John Pennycott (12) – 69

Nicol Auld and David Morrison bagged the only 2s of the day at the 3rd and 17th respectively.

Saturday 7^th November – AGA Winter League Rd 1

After the postponement last week due to weather and ground conditions, round 1 got underway at Machrie with the reduced format of 4 man teams. The WBGC team of John Pennycott, Dougie Auld, Kevin Macaleney and ‘Sonic’ fought out a creditable draw against a strong Lamlash team. Brodick and Machrie each won their ties to leave Lamlash and WBGC sharing the mid table position on 1 point each. On now to round 2 scheduled for Whiting Bay on Sunday 6th December when we play Machrie.
