Captain's Rosebowl

With the 1st leg of the Rosebowl being held at Innellan, we had a good turnout of 34 players with 10 Cowal members gracing Innellan on Sunday..

Again scoring was good with Innellan members coming to the fore, with local knowledge playing a part with the leaders all local members.

Leading the way, continuing with his good form in recent weeks, was Robert Dodds, who again scored well with a 61, one shot ahead of Michael Mallaney and Billy Ferguson, closely followed by Scott Lauffer on 63.

Leading the way for the Cowal boys was Craig McKechnie and Ally MacDonald who both shot 66.

With the scores fairly close, can the Innellan 6 hang on to their lead, or will one of the Cowal boys rise and take the spoils.

Lets hope we have a good turnout again and support The Rosebowl at Cowal and weather holds out.

Good luck to all.

September Medal 2013

As the season starts to draw to a close, the ominous signs are Sunday golf and with the change in competition days, we only had 10 players take part in the September Medal.

Nonetheless scoring was good, and we had 3 players on par or better.

Leading the way with a 62 was Willie McCosh, closely followed by Robert Dodds 1 stroke behind, and another one adrift was Gordon Livingston who also shot the best gross with a 71.

Vice Captains Prize

If only we had a vice captain!

On a day when we had some mixed weather, with real heavy thunder storms, interspersed with some  lovely warm sunshine, scoring again was very good.

We had 27 players with a few getting caught in the worst of the showers making it very difficult to get round.

Nontheless, of  the players who finished their round we had 4 players under par with Robert Dodds scoring a nett 60, beating Robert Baxter by one and Alex Robertson and Archie Tait by 2.

The heavy rain over the last week has taken the fire out of the course and the greens are running smooth.

On Saturday we had visitors from the Clubgolf programme who had won a fourball at Innellan.,

They heaped praise on the course, the views, and the very friendly staff.

Well done to all involved and lets keep up the good work on keeping our golf club one of the most welcoming in Scotland.

Ex Presidents Cup

Playing for the oldest trophy in  Innellan Golf Club history, we had 30 players on another decent day.

With well manicured greens and running fairways, scoring was very good, with David Mclaughlin coming in with a magnificent 60, beating Gordon Livingston and Richard Lysik by 2 strokes.

With the highest score on the card being a 5, David played very steadily and cruised to his best result this year.

Best gross was Gordon Livingston with 69.

Festival Cup

On another beautiful day and night, we had 27 Gents and 5 ladies take part in The Festival Cup.

Under a different format from  last year there was a separate competition for both sexes.

Of the 6 ladies playing under a stableford comp, Margaret Lauder won with a fantastic 34 points, followed by Irene Hodge on 32 pts.

As for the Gents it was a very close event, with 3 players all tied on 64.

Winning on countback was form man, Dougie Cooper with Phil Mortimer and Mike Clark also on 64.

With the course in excellent condition we had a very good turnout again, for this popular Friday event.
