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..

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.
