    • August Medal result.

  • The August Medal took place on August 5/7/8/9 over Seafield golf course from the black tees and the course once again was still running fast with the rough thick and penal. Only the top 2 on the podium fired scores near par or better as again the course ruined many scorecards. We had 3 players tied on nett 71 (2 over par) but Michael Duffy and John Brodie were pipped on countback by Billy Rae helped by his solitary birdie on hole 12. Runner-up with a nett 69 (level par), was Mark Mancini who fired a birdie at hole 3 but his opportunity to take the top spot was hampered by the quadruple bogey 7 at hole 15. Our winner, fresh from his triumph in the Seniors Championship, was Gordon Christie whose round contained birdies at holes 5/14 giving him a two stroke margin of victory. The only Two this week was scored by Mark Mancini at hole 3 so he picks up the prize pot all on his own.

    • Chase Doubles Final

  • The Final of the Chase Doubles took place yesterday (7th) with Michael Duffy and John Brodie taking on Jack and John Kelly over Seafield golf course. The youngsters struck first when a nett par was good enough to win the opening hole but the match was all square again after the 4th when Michael Duffy's nett par prevailed. A birdie at hole 7 from John Kelly saw the youngsters back in front, but from that point onward momentum shifted. Firstly, Michael Duffy chipped in for a nett eagle at hole 8 to level the match and then almost holed his birdie attempt at hole 9 as the par was good enough to put his side 1up at the turn. A nett birdie at hole 10 followed by a concession at hole 11 put Michael and John 3up and when an errant tee shot and an approach out of bounds left Michael sitting on the 12th green after two shots, the gap was now 4 holes. A par from John Kelly was sufficient to win hole 13 to reduce the arrears to 3 holes but when John Brodie fired his approach into 8ft at hole 14 a concession soon followed. The nail in the coffin came when John arrowed his tee shot at 15 into 10ft and despite Jack horseshoeing his nett birdie attempt from 20ft, the par was sufficient to close out the match by 4&3.

    • Chase versus Ayr Seafield Challenge match.

  • The Challenge match between the Chase and Ayr Seafield took place this weekend as two teams of eight players battled against each other over Seafield golf course in 4-ball matchplay games. In match 1, Chase Captain, Gerry Cavanagh and Brian Kelsey took on David McAlpine and Peter Harding and it was the away side who persevered in a titanic struggle as they won 1up. Match 2 was between Ronnie Lees and Jonathon Goodlet against Franco Damico and Danny Valance with the home side triumphing by 4&3 to level the match score. Match 3 was scheduled to be Ian Speirs and Peter Cavanagh against Harry McCaig and George Huggart, but unfortunately George was left to play on his own and unsurprisingly succumbed to a crushing 8&7 defeat. With the destination of the trophy in the balance, everything depended on match 4 where Michael Duffy and Paul Middleditch took on Lee Shankly and Paul Cassidy and it was the away side who were victorius by a 2&1 margin. This result levelled the overall score and so Ayr Seafield retained the trophy last played for in 2024. After the matches both teams returned to the Chase Inn for food and hospitality, as well as the Trophy presentation to the winning Captain, Peter Harding of the Ayr Seafield golf club. My thanks to all from both teams who played in the matches, to Stephen Kelly and Abby at the Chase Inn for the hospitality and congratulations again to Ayr Seafield for retaining the Cup. Better luck next year as the Chase look to win for the first time since 2022.
