End of year Texas Scramble













39 brave Seniors Texas Scrambled their way round the course, many finishing in a blizzard. A great day was had by all, in spite of the conditions. The winners, (whose handicaps will be reported to the committee) were:

1st (on countback) – with net 38 : George Allan, David Robinson, Jack Duncan

2nd – also with 38: Jim Dunnett, Garry Stewart, Malcolm Stewart.

Well done !

After play, we all enjoyed a splendid Christmas lunch and our thanks and appreciation must go to Ernie Wastell, our leader, for all the excellent work he has done throughout the year for the “Old Timers”.

Merry Christmas and a Successful Golfing New Year.

Year End Lunch & Texas Scramble REVISED

With less than 24 hours to first tee the final line up for tomorrow's 12 hole Texas Scramble is as shown below. With three late call offs and only two late entries our numbers are cut from 42 to 41 and necessitate the introduction of two 4 ball groupings at the tail of the tees.

As usual we are off two tees and will play the first 12 holes of the course only. For the fifth hole we will all tee off from the mat to the right hand side of the tee, no matter what colour the cones placed there.

Tee Times and group handicaps are:

Tee 1:

10.00 Sandy Robertson; Ian Mollison; Jack Gillison (6)

10.07 Graeme Hunter; Ernie Wastell; Parker Crockart (5)

10.15 Jim Davidson; Ian McCouig; John Brand (6)

10.22 Jack Rough; David Dawson; Rob Kidd (6)

10.30 George Allan; David Robinson; Jack Duncan (6)

10.37 Russell Peacock; Harry Driscoll; Jim Donnelly (7)

10.45 Gordon Ewen; Ron Haynes; Jeff Lonsdale (5)


Tee 10

10.22 Peter Tinker; Ian Strachan; Gerry Kennedy (6)

10.30 Jim Dunnett; Garry Stewart; Malcolm Stewart (6)

10.52 Ian Scott; Alex Sutherland; John Crombie; Brian Moore (5)

11.00 Peter Rainbird; Ken MacLeod; David Kerr; Tony Sive (5)



EVERY PLAYER MUST HAVE 2 COUNTING DRIVES

Target time for the 12 hole round is approximately 2 hours for 3 balls and 2hours 20mins for the 4 balls. The target remains that we sit down to eat as a group by 1.45.

The following players/diners have yet to pay their GBP 15.00 for the meal and sweep:

Sandy Robertson; Ian Strachan; Rob Kidd and Jack Duncan.

The above golfers should try and arrive early and pay their dues to Ernie Wastell before 9.45 to avoid mucking about with money after the rounds have been completed.

Prize for the winning team - GBP 30.00 (to be divided amongst team members); 2nd team GBP 15.00.

All the best and see you there.
