Gents Winter Cup
Brian Thompson takes top spot.
It wouldn’t be the Winter Cup without wintry conditions but the cold wind and occasional shower didn’t put off the 111 players who took part. Thank you to everyone for helping make sure the new self sign in procedure went smoothly and for making sure their competition balances were in credit.
Despite the tricky conditions we had some excellent scores with 7 players breaking par. A massive well done to Brian Thompson who took top spot with a 3 under par 68 (88-20).
It was a very close contest with Brian winning by a single shot from 3 players. Brian played steady on the front nine going out in net 38 with 2 net birdies. His 32 on the back nine included 3 net 2’s at the 10th, 13th and 15th. Second place on countback goes to Colin MacKenzie (86-17) thanks to a net back nine of 29. Colin struggled on the way out finishing with a net 40 but raced home with 1 net eagle and 4 net birdies. Graeme Scott takes third place, also on countback. Graeme had a mixed day with 3 net eagles and 4 net birdies. Out in 38, he finished net 3,2 for a last 6 hole countback of 17. Also back in 31, Graeme Smith takes fourth place. His last 6 holes total of 21 falling just short, with an expensive double bogey on the 17th.
Sweeps
Brian did not enter the sweep so first place goes to Colin who wins £50. Graeme Scott gets £30 for second and Graeme Smith pockets £20 for third.
