Sunday 23rd August – The McKelvie Cup Rd 1

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.
26 played. CSS 63.
1st Ryan Armstrong (8) 55 and lowest gross
2nd Jamie Macpherson (5) – 59 acb
3rd Nicol Auld (5) – 59
4th John Pennycott (12) – 60 acb
2s – Douglas Graham & John Pennycott, both at the 17th.
Sunday 9th August – The Roy Ure Tankard
A beautiful summer day drew a good field of 25 for the Roy Ure Tankard, a popular Stableford usually played earlier in the year. Despite the fine condition of the course a north easterly breeze rendered shot making a little more difficult than usual and CSS went out to 64/35 Stableford points.
1st Kevin Jackson (8) – 38points
2nd Dave Hackett (15) – 37
3rd David Blair (13) – 36
4th Markus Kroner (7) – 35
Five 2s were recorded; Ryan Armstrong and Adam Kelso at the 4th, Kevin Jackson at the 11th, and David Blair and Jamie Macpherson at the 17th
