An unexpectedly fine morning drew a decent number of golfers from each club for the first of our winter series of matches against our friends from Lamlash. After the recent wet weather the course was playing its full length and anyone scoring close to their playing handicap could be proud of their performance. Home players took the top two places in the individual Stableford withDougie Macfarlane’s 37 points pipping Andy Campbell to win by 1 point. In the match itself Whiting Bay prevailed to win by 3 – 2 in a closely fought encounter.
Thanks to Lamlash for their hospitality. We look forward to welcoming them to Whiting Bay in the next fixture.
14 played on a spring like morning and most took advantage to post scores that under the old system would have undoubtedly resulted in a reduction in the competition standard scratch. Neil ‘Sonic’ Lucas topped an impressive list however with a very impressive 59.
1st Neil Lucas (14) – 59
2nd Ronnie Mann (15) – 62 acb
3rd Gus MacLeod (15) – 62
4th Graham Wilks (22) 63
Nicol Auld posted the lowest gross score with 68 and he and Gus MacLeod returned the only 2s of the day, both at the 17th.

12 played in this years ‘Bogey’, a popular competition in which the format is matchplay against the course. Usually the course comes out on top but this year the golfers took revenge. Jamie Macpherson, Gus MacLeod and Neil Lucas all won against the course but John Pennycott put it back in the box with an astonishing display of golf which would have returned a gross 68 in medal play format. His only gross 5 came on the 18th green; all other holes were 4s and 3s and a 2.
1st John Pennycott (14) – 9up
2nd Jamie Macpherson (6) – 3up
3rd Gus MacLeod (15) – 2up
4th Neil (Sonic) Lucas (14) – 1up
2s were returned by Neil Lucas at the 2nd, Jamie Macpherson at the 4th, Gus MacLeod at the 14th and John Pennycott at the 17th.
