TWO NEW ENQUIRIES

Spring must have sprung ! Two membership enquiries today including one via South Africa, could be another first. 

ANOTHER PROSPECT

Dawn and I took Archie out to assess his readiness to upgrade and we were both suitably impressed. Great confidence especially with short irons, full swings and total commitment, putting decent as well. Great company and great fun and not many youngsters would be down to playing in a tee shirt at 3 degrees. I believe we have another bright prospect.

FANTASTIC SCORING

What a brilliant day. Today we gave Saoirse, Seamus, Charlie and James a try out on the Rannaleroch Course, all four enjoyed the experience and played very well. Saoirse is definitely ready to upgrade and her all round performance was excellent, long off the tee and consistent with all other shots and some great putting. Seamus is not far behind and they combined to tremendous effect on the 17th with a great birdie 2, Seamus’s tee shot to just off the green and big sister holing the putt. Charlie managed 13 holes before he tired and James did all 16 holes but concentration had gone so probably another year for them. Scoring was fantastic with two teams tied on 53. Charlie, Blair and Bruce won with a better back nine from Saoirse, Seamus, Dawn and Iain. Great fun was had by all. 

NORMAL SERVICE RESUMED

With the Rannaleroch course back open, with all but 2 holes in play, this weekend we managed 2 rounds. Saturday Keir and I took on Conan and Dawn, with us winning on the last after all other holes were halved. Today Cameron and Archie joined us for a very enjoyable Texas Scramble. On the Leitfie Course Archie Loudon played 4 rounds and had his best round ever with a gross 33. Reduced his handicap and I believe will be the next junior to upgrade to Rannaleroch. Archie Pattullo was presented with haul of trophies after a very successful 2022. Looks like 2023 could be great for both Archie’s 

CAPTAIN PRESENTATION

Blair Hockley was presented today with an engraved tankard to mark his time as Junior Captain. The section would like to thank him for his efforts and wish him all the best in the future.
