GEOFF ARDEN TROPHY

Another glorious day at Innellan saw 30 entries for The Geoff Arden Trophy.

This was very closely contested with the winner being decided by the best inward half.

Russell Lees managed to pip Neil Muir with a very steady 62 and scoop 1st place.

Scoring was generally good with the Css being 64.

Best gross of the day, was Denis Doherty, who scored 70.

Lets hope this is summer finally arriving and fingers crossed more happy golfing.

McGillivray Quaich

Another wet and windy weekend lead to the Ladies Comp being postponed on Saturday.

With a little respite on Monday, a total of 15 hardy souls took to the course in search  of dry land. With the bad weather we have had, it was a great effort by the greens staff that the course was playable at all.

Just shows all the effort and investment was well worth it.

In between real heavy showers it was Ronnie Stokes, who had earlier boasted of scoring a 58.

Alas Ronnie, you were only 10 strokes out, but true to your word, you won the competition with a very creditable 68, pipping Duncan Lauder on the best inward half.

As the weather was so bad, a few non returns were posted, and this upped the css to 67, and  reduction only for those who played, but as you can see on the Masterscoreboard  everyone's handicap remains the same.

Fingers crossed weather will improve for all Comps this week, which are The Ladies Texas Scramble on Thursday, and the Geoff Arden Trophy on Monday for the Gents.

THE GREENKEEPERS DAY

After almost a year in exile The Captains Blog is back. I was waiting for some better weather to rear my head and dust the clubs down again.

A misty morning saw 20 players take to the grass on a soggy, wet, overcast day with some super scores being posted by the early starters.

A total of 17 players from local clubs Cowal and Blairmore, added to the Innellan members ,made a fantastic total of 57 players.

57 is a rather ironic number as the event had a variety of players and a new concept at Innellan, men and Ladies playing in the same competition along side each other.

The course held up well considering the torrential rain of the previous days, thanks again to the Greens staff on presenting the course in such adverse weather.

With the greens in such good condition scoring was good with some unbelievable scores being posted.

Scott Ferguson has found the way to play Innellan and has seen his handicap reduce to 5 in the last year.

On Monday, Scott had a wand instead of a putter and like Harry Potter cast some magic on the course, with a winning gross score of 65, net 59 and had it not been for a few wee blips on the way, a new course record could have been under threat.

With that score in The Clubhouse a few entrants might have been dismayed to see such a great score to beat, but beaten it was, by David Cooper, with a superb gross 68 net 57.

An eventful round with two 2s and one being an eagle 2 at the ninth saw David win by 2 strokes from Scott.

Jackie Lauder led the way for the ladies with a gross 81 net 65  to cap a very well supported event by the Cowal clubs.

A big thanks to all house staff for their fantastic efforts on the day with such a good turnout.

Next event up for the Gents is The McGillivray Quaich on Monday 13th  and Ladies is Three clubs and a putter on Thursday 9th May.

Lets hope the weather picks up for these events.
