Sunday 19^th January – Yellow Tees Sweep

12 played on a beautiful morning for golf and with the course benefitting from a few days of dry weather good scoring was much in evidence. Since play was from the yellow tees  and ‘non counting’ there was no CSS but all scores returned were in the net 60s. That said, the midweek regulars, enjoying official handicaps rather than winter ones, took full advantage of their restored shots to take the top 6 spots. Dougie Auld returned a spectacular net 57 to win by 2 shots.

1^st Douglas Auld (20) – 57

2^nd David Brookens (12) – 59

3^rd Wolfi Kroner (14) – 61 acb

4^th Stan Rainey (10) – 61 and lowest gross

Graeme Crichton and Neil “Sonic” Lucas each scored impressive 2s at the 7th hole

Sunday 12^th January – Winter Cup Rd 4

10 played in the first Winter Cup round of the year. Persistent rain, that stopped just in time to entice golfers to go, left treacherous underfoot conditions requiring care to be taken on the steeper parts of the course. The greens having been recently cut (great work Stewart and Corey, don’t know how you managed it) were playing well though and scoring was such that CSS went down to 62.

1st David Brookens (12) – 63 acb and lowest gross

2nd Wolfi Kroner (14) – 63

3rd John Pennycott (14) – 64 acb

4th Neil Lucas (14) – 64

There were no 2s but heartfelt congratulations to Graeme Crichton for topping the list of ‘no returns’.

Sunday 5th January v Lamlash at Lamlash GC

An emphatic WBGC win in the last 4 ball was not enough to prevent the team going down 3 & 1 to a strong Lamlash team in round 3 of this season’s AGA Winter League at Lamlash. On now to the rearranged fixture at Corrie on 2^nd February when we take on Brodick GC.

Sunday 22nd December – Winter Cup Rd 3

At the third attempt the 3rd round of the Winter Cup finally got underway and a field of 10 took part. Heavy overnight rain had taken its toll on the course with a lot of surface water to contend with and  playing conditions drove the CSS up to 66.

1st Wolfi Kroner (14) – 65

2nd Jamie Macpherson (5) – 66 and lowest gross

3rd Douglas Auld (20) – 68 acb

4th Graham Crichton (13) – 68

There were no magic 2s.

Sunday 1^st December v Machrie at Shiskine

A last minute change in circumstances led to what would have been the February fixture being brought forward and reduced to 12 holes due to the shortening December days. Up against a strong Machrie side WBGC halved 2 games but slipped to narrow defeats in the 2 remaining games to lose the match by a margin of 3-1.
