In the Scratch Final Archie Pattullo was three up through five. Louis Purdie won the sixth and ninth to get it back to one down at the turn. A fantastic approach shot on eleven set up a birdie to square the match. He followed up with another birdie on thirteen and went on to win 4&3.
In the Handicap Final Archie Loudon was three up through six. Olly Stevenson then won seven, eight and nine to square the match at the turn. He took the lead on the twelfth but was pegged pack when Archie birdied sixteen. On seventeen Archie pushed his tee shot and finished in a ditch, undeterred he decided to play the shot from a near impossible position and got in onto the green and secured a half. All square going up the last, both players had putts to win. The excitement grew and up the nineteenth it went where Archie held his nerve to win the match
Both games were played in great spirit and it was nice to see Junior Captain Stuart Duncan caddy for Louis and Cameron Galloway caddy for Archie. Another junior Conan Reid contested the Gents Final with younger brother Keir on the bag but a 69 first 18 by Chris Flannigan made it difficult for him and he couldn’t peg him back. In the Ladies Final past junior Captain and Scottish Internationalist Kirsty Brodie won against Ladies Captain Judy Goodfellow.
The Juniors are the lifeblood of any club and it was good to see past junior Scratch Champion and Junior Captain Mark Scott out for a game with junior member Keegan Fergusson and Callum Ewan another past Junior Captain out supporting the finalists.
Andrew Brass and Jack Short both were fitted for Hire Clubs bringing total sets hired out for 2025 to 55. Nearly 70% of our juniors use the scheme including all 4 junior finalist and both their caddy’s.
