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
