Vice Captains Prize
If only we had a vice captain!
On a day when we had some mixed weather, with real heavy thunder storms, interspersed with some lovely warm sunshine, scoring again was very good.
We had 27 players with a few getting caught in the worst of the showers making it very difficult to get round.
Nontheless, of the players who finished their round we had 4 players under par with Robert Dodds scoring a nett 60, beating Robert Baxter by one and Alex Robertson and Archie Tait by 2.
The heavy rain over the last week has taken the fire out of the course and the greens are running smooth.
On Saturday we had visitors from the Clubgolf programme who had won a fourball at Innellan.,
They heaped praise on the course, the views, and the very friendly staff.
Well done to all involved and lets keep up the good work on keeping our golf club one of the most welcoming in Scotland.

July Stroke
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.
