On another glorious July day we had 29 players for the July Stroke.
With greens faster and harder than ever, and the ball running for miles, the css was 65, with few players scoring below that.
On countback with a score of 62, winner Archie Tait, tied with Richard Lysik,closely followed by Duncan Lauder and Dougie Cooper, only one stroke behind..
Good to see Archie's return to form with him not playing too many competitions in the last year.

I don't like Mondays
On another glorious day we had 27 grace the turf at Innellan for the Sunday Cup.
With the greens hard and fast, links golf was the order of the day for low scoring.
I overheard someone say, that he had stuck some juicy fruit on his putter on some holes just to keep the ball on the greens.
The course is in excellent condition and the members are enjoying hitting the ball further than
ever, due to this spell of dry weather.
Well onto the players themselves, as the heading states, Boomtown Rat,or is it The Sundance Kid, Andy Collings, wins the Sunday Cup again, for the 3rd time in 4 years. A fantastic achievement indeed.
A nett score of 61, won by 3 strokes from Scott Lauffer on 64, and Nipper Simpson with a 65 took 3rd.
Best gross of the day with same score were, Chris Richmond, of Cowal with a 72 and our own Nipper Simpson.
Lets hope this great weather continues and keeps the numbers up on competition days.
