October Medal results.
The first Medal of season 2026/27 took place on October 7/9/10/11 playing over Seafield golf course from the black tees and with variable weather as well as difficulty obtaining weekend tee times, only 19 members took on a wet, heavy course where distance was at a premium and preffered lies were now in
place. The best gross score of 73 (4 over par) was fired by Alan Smeeton with birdies at holes 5/14/17 in his round. In 3rd spot with a nett 71 (2 over par) was newly crowned 7-time Club Champion, Robert Gilchrist whose solitary birdie came at hole 16. Unfortunately, the triple bogey 7 at hole 12 probably,
denied Robert the chance to win as he finished 2 shots behind our leader. In the runner-up spot with a nett 69 (level Par) was last season's leading sweep money winner, Ronnie Lees with birdies coming at holes 5/14 but the poor start with a triple bogey at hole 1 definitely cost Ronnie the chance to win.
Our winner this week and winning his second medal in a row having won September's event, was Michael Duffy as he tied Ronnie with a nett 69 but was triumphant on countback due to the better inward half. This win earns Michael a spot in the end of season Medal Final event next September. We had a single 2
fired at hole 15 by Scott Kirk but as everyone knows the Two's competition does not run in the Winter season due to the shortened length of the courses and the possibility of playing on temporary greens - the event will return with the Alloway Pharmacy Qualifier in April 2027.
