SENIORS AWAY DAY - LAST CHANCE

Those wishing to accompany us to Thornton on the 17th of August but who have not put their names on the list and paid their deposits should do so by lunch time Thursday the 22nd of July. Those who have put their names down but not yet paid the deposit should also make sure that they have paid up by the same time.

The list will be taken down from the board after Thursday's counting Stableford competition and the numbers communicated to Thornton, thereby releasing tee times reserved by them for our party but no longer required.

All the best.

Result from home match v Alyth Friday 16 July

On the whole the weather held up for this match on a gusty but relatively dry Friday afternoon.

Following on from our first away victory against Alyth in April the team was confident of not letting the advantage slip at home and the emphatic 4.5/1.5 victory confirmed that determination.

Congratulations to all who took part and again many thanks to the centre's catering staff and the greenkeepers who are making Strathmore the away fixture that all of our opponents are keen to play.

The teams were:

Match 1 Ernie Wastell & Peter Tinker

Match 2 Sandy Robertson & George Allan

Match 3 Ian Scott & Alex Sutherland

Match 4 Bob Greig & Alistair Donaldson

Match 5 Ian Strachan & Eric Gray

Match 6 Ken MacLeod & David Robinson

All the best

Results from 8th July 2010 July Medal and Nick Farr Trophy

With an entry of 32 golfers the Nick Farr/ July Medal once again shows the highest entry of any competition to date.

Sandy Robertson with by far the lowest gross (78) of the day takes the prize for Top golfer and on a count back the winner of the Category 1 net sweep with 67 from Peter Tinker.

The medal and Nick Farr Trophy for lowest Nett score on the day goes to Rob Kidd, from the second division ranks, with a net 64. Eric Gray was runner up with a Nett 69.

Congratulations to all 4 of you.

We also had 3 twos for the day, all on different holes and not one on the 6th hole.

Steve Saunders on the 4th; Garry Stewart on the 13th and Eric Gray on the 17th.

Unfortunately as Garry did not ener the 2's competition the winnings were split equally between Steve and Eric.

Result :Home Match v Arbroath - Monday 5th July

Home games are always a different ask to the away ties and the matches against Arbroath are no exceptions. Having lost convincinglt 4.5/1.5 in Arbroath we more than turned the tables on our guests at Strathmore with a resounding 5/1 victory on a day when the strong gusting wind was more reminiscent of a links course than an inland course.

Congratulations to all team members and many thanks to the green staff and centre staff who helped make the day a great success. The team comprised:-

Ian Scott
John Brand

Ernie Wastell
Gilmour Ivey

Ian Strachan
Norman Smith

Sandy McGibbon
Eric Gray

Sandy Robertson
Ron Haynes

Jim Davidson
George Allan

All the best
