Liz McConnell

The club is sad to announce the passing of Liz McConnell on 4th August.  Comforted by husband Scott and other family members by Liz passed peacefully at home in Strathaven after a short illness.  Along with Scott, who captained the club on two occasions, Liz was an enthusiastic and active supporter of the club. That support was always appreciated but especially so at times when the club was much in need. She will be sadly missed and our thoughts are with Scott and the family at this sad and difficult time

Saturday 29th August – Fun Texas Scramble

The ever popular Fun Texas Scramble is back! Get your teams organised for 15 holes of golfing fun followed by a burger and some beers at the clubhouse, hopefully outside in the sunshine but if not indoors in the bar. Either way we’ll be maintaining social distancing so it’s a safe environment for all. Don’t miss it. It’s always a fun day.

Sunday 16th August – Captain’s Prize

Sunday 16th August – Captain’s Prize

32 played in the second and final Captain’s Prize day to be sponsored by club captain Andy Martin. This year we again played from the front tees with the girls joining the boys in an 18 hole Stableford. A grey morning, which included a short rain shower, soon turned into the fine sunny afternoon the event deserved and scoring matched the fine condition of the course with the top 10 players all matching or bettering par. Colin Nisbet bettered it considerably though with a fine 42 Stableford points to win by 2 from Gus Macleod.

1st Colin Nisbet (14) – 42 points

2nd Gus MacLeod (14) – 40

3rd John Pennycott (12) – 39

4th David Blair (12) – 38

Gillian Lockhart took the prize for the best placed lady player with 35 points.

Once again our thanks go to our captain Andy Martin for his generous hospitality and prizes. Thanks also to John and Nancy for the steady supply of good food and drink and finally to Stewart for the condition of the course which, all agreed on the day, is quite incredible for a green keeper working solo.
