    • November Medal results.

  • The November Medal took place on November 6/8/9/10 playing over Seafield golf course and 16 members braved the damp underfoot conditions and variable winds. The best gross score was 67 (2 under par) fired by 6-time Club Champion, Alan Smeeton despite dropping 3 shots on his opening 2 holes. Birdies flowed at holes 5/6/7/10 but the highlight was an eagle 3 at hole 13 as Alan finished with a nett 69. In 3rd spot was John Brodie who fired a nett 67 (2 under par), with his round containing birdies at holes 5/9. Runner-up was 3-time Club Champion, Jim Bryden who also fired a nett 67 (2 under par) and his birdie on hole 18 helped to pip John on countback. Our clear winner, with a nett 64 (5 under par), was Stephen Kelly who made a steady start to be nett 1 under par at halfway. A fine inward half resulted in Stephen shooting a nett 4 under par coming home for nett 5 under par overall and a 3 shot margin of victory.

    • Winter Aggregate 2 results.

  • The second event in our Winter Aggregate series took place on October 30/November 1/2/3 over the former Open Qualifying layout at Lochgreen golf course playing from the yellow tees. With only eleven players taking on the formidable track with gusty winds and some rain over the playing days, the course was playing long with little roll on the fairways and greens that might have benefited from being cut, the scoring was poor as only the podium finishers shot par or better. In 3rd spot shooting level par nett 74, was James Burnett whose round could have been so much better had he not dropped 11 strokes on holes 14-17 coming home. Runner-up shooting the best gross score of 76 (2 over par) was Club Champion, Robert Gilchrist. Following a poor front nine with a birdie at hole 3 and 5 bogeys, a fine inward half of 34 strokes (2 under par) included further birdies at holes 13/16/17 which allowed Robert to pip James on countback. Our clear winner was Scott Kirk who fired a nett 71 (3 under par) with his outward half a model of consistency as he dropped only 1 shot at hole 5. The inward half proved more tricky with bogeys at 10/11/15 offset by a solitary birdie at hole 12 to give Scott a clear three stroke victory. With one leg of the Aggregate to play (Darley), the competition is wide open with 2 scores from the three events counting against par.

    • Foursome Pairs results.

  • The Foursomes took place on October 23/25/26/27 over Seafield golf course playing from the yellow tees, with a guaranteed place on the Chase GC team playing in the Presidents Putter event for the winners. With strong winds and heavy underfoot conditions spread across the four playing days, the eight teams who took part found good scoring was at a premium except for the winning pair. In 3rd spot with a nett 74 (5 over par) were John Cathcart and Robert Gilchrist who found bunker trouble at holes 8/10 ultimately leading to a double bogey at 8 and a triple bogey at 10 as a promising start to the round faded on the back nine. Runners-up with a nett 71 (2 over par) were Eric Borland and Billy Rae who fired a birdie at hole 16. However, a double bogey at 4 and a triple bogey at 7 in a poor opening nine holes could not be compensated for despite a fine inward half. The clear winners firing the best gross score of 74 (5 over par) were John Brodie and Alan Muir who made a steady start with a nett level par front nine. With only 2 dropped shots and a birdie at hole 13 leading to a nett 3 under par inward half, the resulting nett 66 (3 under par) gave the winners a clear 5 stroke margin of victory.

    • Winter League 1 results.

  • The first of our Winter League events took place on October 16/18/19/20 over Fullarton golf course playing from the yellow tees and only 12 of the original 17 entries took part in the event. With Fullarton the subject of an overall par review, as well as changes in the stroke idexes of the holes, most players found their handicaps at least halved or in some cases reduced to a third of their actual Handicap Index. We had 3 players tied on 35pts with Ian Speirs and Gerry Cavanagh pipped on countback by Eric Borland who finished in 3rd place. At the head of the field we also had a tie as Ian Young and defending Champion, James Burnett scored 38pts but with 19pts on the inward half against 17pts for Ian, James took the initial victory in this best 3 from 5 rounds event.

    • October Medal results.

  • The first Medal of our new season took place on October 9/11/12/13 over Seafield golf course from the white tees and with the course closure on Saturday 12th, the field was reduced to only 15 players. The weather all week led to heavy underfoot conditions and with reduced temperaures, the golf ball was not travelling as far through the air. Scoring overall was poor with no one able to break par and only 7 birdies were scored in the event. The best gross score was 76 (7 over par) fired by Club Champion, Robert Gilchrist with his round containing a solitary birdie at hole 16. At the head of the field we had a three way tie on nett 70 (1 over par), with Captain Ian Speirs finishing in 3rd spot beaten on countback. Runner-up with his round containing a birdie at hole 9 was John Brodie as he succumbed also on countback to David Mansell with David's solitary birdie coming at hole 4. This early medal win secures David Mansell a place in next years Medal Final.
