    • Vice Captain Tankard results.

  • The Vice Captain Tankard event took place on June 4/6/7/8 over Girvan golf course playing from the white tees and 19 members took on the combination of links and parkland holes and the strict par of 64 shots. Although the winning score was never in doubt, the fight for the minor podium places was tight with Billy Rae and Eric Borland both shooting nett 65 (1 over par), with in the end, Eric pipping Billy on countback for 3rd spot. Runner-up this week was John Taylor, fully recovered from his ordeal of 2 weeks ago as he fired a nett 64 (level par). Our clear winner shooting the best gross score of 64 (level par) was Robert Gilchrist with an outward half of 29 shots including birdies at holes 4/6/7. Unfortunately, bogeys at holes 12/13/15/17 threatened to ruin all the previous good work before a final birdie on 18 meant a nett 58 (6 under par) and a 6 shot margin of victory. Both Robert, at holes 7/18 and David Edgar on holes 10/18 took the prize pot for this week's Two's and congratulations to them.

    • Summer Stableford results.

  • The Summer Stableford took place on May 28/30/31/June1 over Darley golf course playing from either the white or yellow tees, with handicaps adjusted accordingly and 16 members took on the task of playing a course once rated as the 5th hardest golf course in Scotland to play to your handicap. In the event the course came out on top with only the winning score better than par (36pts) as the amended layout took it's toll. In 3rd spot with 35pts was John Brodie, despite only scoring 7 pars in the entire round. Runner-up with 36pts and continuing his recent good run of form, was Alan Muir who again had only 7 pars in the round. Our winner with 37pts was Alan Smeeton with a fine gross score of 75 (3 over par) with his round containing birdies at holes 5/9 as he triumphed by a single point. We had two golfers firing birdie 2's at hole 4 as David Edgar and John Cathcart split this week's prize pot so congratulations to them.

    • Past Captains Cup and Championship Qualifier 3 results.

  • The Past Captains Cup and Championship Qualifier 3 took place on May 21/23/24/25 over Seafield golf course with 26 members setting out to win the Trophy and/or qualify for the Club Championship at the same time. In the event only 22 players would complete their rounds with the unfortunate occurence that John Taylor was struck by a golf ball on the 4th hole, fired from the 5th tee by the group playing in front of them. At the time of writing this report, John is safely home having had a precautionary brain scan which thankfully found nothing more than heavy bruising and a concussion. We wish John well on his road to recovery and extend thanks to Robert Gilchrist, John Cathcart and Ian Gray who ensured medical attention was administered promptly. For the rest of the entrants the scoring was poor with only 6 scores of par or better over the 4 competition days. In 4th spot firing the best gross round of level par 69 (nett 67) was Alan Smeeton whose round contained a birdie at hole 5 and an eagle at hole 13. Beating Alan on countback with a score of nett 67 (2 under par) was John Brodie whose round unfortunately contained double bogeys at holes 6/9/10/15 which cancelled out birdies on holes 11/12/13/16 and might have been so much better otherwise. Runner-up was Alan Muir with a nett 66 (3 under par) despite a poor front nine which contained double bogeys at holes 1/4/6. However, a birdie at hole 5 and another at hole 11 in a fabulous inward half of 36 strokes (level par) ensured Alan of his podium place. Our clear winner this week was Eric Borland fresh from his vacation to the USA as he fired a fine round of nett 63 (6 under par) with his round containing a solitary birdie at hole 13 as he triumphed by 3 shots. Ronnie Lees on hole 15 and Stephen Hannah on hole 17 were the only 2's over the four days so they will pick up the prize pot between them.

It is now a requirement that the player pulling out contacts EVERYONE PLAYING IN THE GROUP to inform them. This should happen as a common courtesy but clearly has not been.
