LIDO TROPHY

On another beautiful June day, the annual Mixed Open event was well supported in it's new slot earlier in the season.

The home teams took most of the spoils, with main sponsor of the event, Nancy Morris and partner, Graham Black win everything apart from the kitchen sink.

2nd place to Duncan and Margaret Lauder with 3rd going to Denis Doherty and Lindsay Mitchell.
Mention for the novelty prizes to Graham ,Lindsay and Irene.

Afraid the wooden spoon was won by our Captain and partner, who shall not be named,no fault of the lady, by the Captain's account of the round.

Thanks to all who contributed to a fantastic day which had home baking by the Ladies greens by David Peel and hard work by all the Ladies.

The day was conducted in good spirit and humour and enjoyed by all who took
part.

The Shaw Trophy

Last week saw 10 players better their handicap, and leading the way in Round 1 of The Shaw Trophy, was Stan Greer, who paraded round the course in a net score of 58.        

Fantastic scoring indeed and closely followed by Robin McDougall, who sat one shot adrift, entering today's 2nd round.

 Best gross score from Round 1, was Denis Doherty, with a gross 69.

Our  good weather continues and the excellent condition of the course spells good scores and today we were not disappointed..

Scott Ferguson, refreshed from a weekend away last week, scored superbly and shot gross 65, net 60, keeping up his run of form and winning today's sweep.

With the main prize up for grabs, there were a few contenders,with only 4 shots dividing 7 players.

In third place was Denis Doherty, with a score of 127, only one behind frontrunner, Stan Greer, who in turn was 2 strokes behind winner, Robin McDougall with a great 124 aggregate.

Special mention goes to Dougie Cooper who aced the 13th with a majestic shot.

Pictured below is Club Captain,Bobby and Shaw Trophy Winner,  Robin.



Well done to all and report from Sundays Lido to follow.

June Medal

On a lovely flaming June day, we had over 30 players for the June Medal.

With scoring good, we had 7 players better their handicap, with Stewart Campbell scoring a gross 71 and net 61, just pipping young Craig Emery by one shot and 5 others on 63.

A steady 4 up the last, would have seen Stewart slash his handicap by 5 shots and a mention to the Match and Handicap Secretary.

Trying to keep under the radar a not so nice 6. was posted up the last to have a slight cut.

So well done to all who played and fingers crossed , this spell of good weather will continue.

May Medal

On 27th May, we had 22 competitors for the May medal.

With only person breaking par the CSS was 65 and leading the way with a fantastic 63 was Bobby Turner. A very good front nine had Bobby feeling a bit nervy and he scrambled a back nine to take the Medal by 2 strokes from David Cooper.

Best gross of the day was Scott Ferguson with a 72.

Well done to all taking part in difficult conditions..
