Wednesday 6th September – The Bannatyne Cup
After the disappointing weather of July and August, and the wet weather for last years Bannatyne, the September heatwave brought a welcome change. The course was in fine shape with the greens, by common consent the best they have ever been, running straight and fast and perhaps contributing to the level of scoring. Net par was no mean feat and that was what Ronnie Mann and Stan Rainey achieved with Ronnie just edging first place on a back nine countback.
1st Ronnie Mann (13) – 63 acb
2nd Stan Rainey (14) – 63
3rd David Morrison (10) – 65
4th Sean Higgins (21) – 66
Gavin Mainds’s 66 was the lowest gross score of the day and Ronnie Mann scored the only 2 of the day at the 17th.
