Tonight saw Michael Brodie current Gents club champion take on Tod Bannerman and Tod gave it his best shot and with a great birdie on 4 which showed he showed he was going to make a match of it but his second birdie on 10 was unfortunately not good enough as Michael eagled it and closed the match out on 13 with a birdie.The other match between current Junior club champion Alex Simpson and Kirsty Brodie was a closer affair. Kirsty conceeded 12 after having to take a drop and Alex went ahead with a birdie on 13, Kirsy eagled 14 to square the Alex birdied 15 to go back in front. 16 and 17 were halved with Kirsty holing a great 10ft putt on 17 to take the match up 18. Alex found the rough off the tee but recovered to be able to hit his 3rd shot short of the green and it was advantage Kirsty who was first to play her chip and left it 12ft short. Alex composed himself knowing he had to get up and down to avoid any chance of going up 19 and played a sublime pitch which was conceeded and Kirsty was left to hole her putt to extend the match but left her putt short.
Both games were played in tremendous spirit and I am so proud of all 4 players - their attitude and friendships were shown in both matches and it makes me so happy to see kids who I have seen develop into very mature young adults who know how to conduct themselves both on and off the course. Their parents should be so proud of how they conduct themselves.
