Solid start to the season for Drumpellier

Drumpellier Golf Club have got their new season off to a flyer with two wins from their opening two games.

Drumpy opened their campaign with a tremendous 4-1 victory away to Mount Ellen.

They followed that up with a solid 3-2 win on their home course against Kirkhill which leaves them top of the Lanarkshire Division Two league table.

The format of the league has changed this season with matches being switched to five four-ball matches instead of 10 singles ties.

Drumpy play Lanark away from home in their next team match and manager Kenny McLean said:“We are delighted with the start that we have made to our league campaign but there is a long way to go and every match will be tough.”
