Results

The scoring was good but an unpredictable wind deceived many a golfer on the day. Golfers who play their golf in similarly windy conditions seemed to cope best and thus it was that Alan Spalding from Galashiels GC proved victorious with a most impressive nett 64 off 17 handicap. Alan won by two shots from last years victor Alan Kinghorn in a valiant defence of his title.

My thanks to all who helped make the day successful by volunteering their help with essential duties which facilitated smooth running of the competition: Rae Hastings/ Duncan McCosh (car parking); Robert Bowd, Bill Calder & Sandy Chalmers (starters); Stan Irvine, Roy Thomson, Jack Temple, John Pollitt & Andy Owenson (registration desk); Alan Kinghorn, Gordon Keddie, David Hogarth & James Gill (bar/catering and clubroom).

Full results + prize winners are posted on the senior notice board in the gent’s locker room.
TGC prize winners will have their prizes credited to their bar cards and away winners will receive Scottish Golf vouchers by the weekend of June 12th.
