The weather gods took note for our ounting to Thornton and blessed us with an almost shower free round of golf (it rained lightly for about 2minutes) and even a dry get away after the meal. The course was in great condition but played long as a result of the over night rain.
Being a tree lined course all wayward drives were punished heavily and as a result only one of our twenty four golfers shone in the sun. Sandy McGibbon came in with the best gross score on 80, net 67 and took the Ian Mollison trophy for the golfer of the day award. Needless to say Sandy's stableford points (38) were also the highest of the day but, following golfing etiquette the best stableford prize, the Mike Dower Bowl was awarded to Dave Kerr with 30 points. While the award to Sandy was one of many over the lafst few years this was Dave's first trophy so congratulations to Dave on his maiden win.
The Team Stableford points also went to Sandy's team with 71 points from the best two points scores on each hole so again congratulations to Sandy, Jim (Davidson)and Robb (Kidd).
There were no two's and we had a refund of GBP 24.00 from Thornton Golf Club due to the meal being cheaper than recorded so GBP 43.02 , the excess collected for the day will now be sent off to Help for Heroes as poposed and agreed at the end of the day.
In all everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day, despite the golf in some cases so here's hoping we can get a bigger band together for next year's outing.
