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.
