President's Putter results.

  • The quarter final of the President's Putter between The Chase and West Kilbride took place this evening over Seafield golf course. The match contained two singles ties and a foursomes with 2 points required to secure overall victory and progress to the Semi-finals. West Kilbride drew first blood in the second singles match where James Burnett (Chase) took on Calum McKeadie (West Kilbride) and found himself 1 down at the turn. However following a couple of birdies, West Kilbride secured the first point of the match with a 5&4 victory. The Foursomes was a tight affair with the Chase pairing of John Cathcart and Robert Gilchrist 1 down to Dave O'Connor and Jim Hendry at the turn. By the 15th hole the match was all square but pars at 16 & 17 secured a 2&1 victory for the home side to level the tie. The drama was reserved for the top singles between John Brodie (Chase) and Neil Spinney (West Kilbride) as the away side were 2up after 6 holes. Birdies by the home player at holes 7&9 meant it was all square at the turn and after exchanging holes 10/11, the home team forged 2 holes up with 3 to play. However, pars by Neil Spinney at 16/18 levelled the tie and the players proceeded to the 19th where a concession following bunker trouble meant victory for the home side overall by 2pts to 1. All three games were played in great spirit and the Chase look forward to playing the winners of the tie between Wallacetown and Ardeer with the Chase the away team for the first time in the event.

    • Dalmilling Cup 2 results.

  • The 2nd event in the Dalmilling Cup took place on July 17/19/20/21 playing over Dalmilling golf course from the white or yellow tees with handicaps adjusted accordingly. A field of 18 players took on the challenge of firm greens and penal rough with the course clearly winning as only 2 players scored par or better over the 4 days. In 3rd place with a nett 70 (1 over par) was Ian Gray whose round contained a solitary birdie at hole 10. Runner-up was Mr Consistency, Gerry Cavanagh with a nett 68 (1 under par) and his solitary birdie also came at the 10th. This week's winner, with the best gross score of 68 (1 under par) was 5-time Club Champion, Robert Gilchrist. A birdie at hole 1 was cancelled by bogey at hole 9 as Robert turned in level par 34 strokes.The birdies came regularly on the inward half at holes 12/14/16 as Robert came to the last 3 under par. However, an errant tee shot led to a double bogey 6, a nett 67 (2 under par) and a single shot margin of victory. Once again, no Two's were recorded this week so we have a rollover of the prize pot for this event. With 2 rounds completed the top 3 players in the event are Gerry Cavanagh (138), Ian Speirs (139) and John Cathcart (144) with 4 other players within 2 shots of 3rd spot.

In 3rd place with a nett 69 (level par) was John Cathcart whose round contained a solitary birdie at hole 5.

This week's winner was David Edgar, despite a poor start with a double bogey at the first. David recovered to record birdies at holes 5/17 and an eagle 3 at hole 13 on his way to nett 66 (3 under par) and a single stroke victory. Our Two's prize pot contained loot from 4 events but was finally claimed this week, with Paul Middleditch (hole 3), Alan Smeeton (hole 6) and Robert Gilchrist (hole 15) all recording twos for a three-way split of the prize.

    • Chase Golf Club Singles and Doubles draws for season 2023/24.

  • The draws for the Singles and Doubles have been posted on the website for all to peruse. All matches, excluding the Final, must be concluded on the day played i.e. in the event of a tie the players must proceed to the 19th or subsequent holes to conclude the contest. Extensions will only be given for golf course closures or in the event of a prolonged play off (darkness), but only after the Handicap Secretary has been contacted. Players are reminded that they are ineligible to participate in a Strokeplay competition if they are completing a Matchplay tie as differing penalties may apply to any Rules infringements. Therefore, no ties will be incorporated into any Strokeplay event draws. Like previous years there is no challenger so all players are equally responsible for arranging a MUTUALLY AGREED DATE and TIME TO PLAY. We would ask that all competitors exercise common sense in arranging ties. Failure to agree a date will result in both parties being disqualified, unless the Handicap Secretary has been contacted at least 7 days before the play by date and made aware of the difficulties. Only the Handicap Secretary will be responsible for allowing extensions, if he believes circumstances warrant it. Good luck to all who are taking part.

    • Electronic score returns

  • Please refer to the email instruction sent out on 10/08/20. If members require further assistance in this matter they should contact Dougie Beattie (Handicap Secretary).

    • Amendment to procedure

  • Following 2 incidents where a member was left without a game, the following procedure must now be followed by all players who pull out of a game after the draw has been made. It is now a requirement that the player pulling out contacts EVERYONE PLAYING IN THE GROUP to inform them. This should happen as a common courtesy but clearly has not been.
