Bruce takes top spot at Mackenzie-Lamont 5th Major
DESPITE the heavy rainfall of last week, Glenralloch was in fine condition for Tarbert Golf Club’s Mackenzie-Lamont 5th Major thanks to dedicated greenkeepers, Graeme Prentice and Jim Brownlie. Twenty players set off in quest of this coveted prize on Saturday with full handicap allowance in this stableford event.
Host Allan MacKenzie was playing well and his one-under-par front nine gave him 21 points and a further 17 on the back nine gave him a total of 38 points and fifth place.
Steve Bleasby has been playing some decent golf of late and a storming back nine of 21 points put him in to fourth place also on 38 points but by virtue of a better inward half.
Joint host David ‘Del Boy’ Lamont was his usual model of consistency as five birdies in his round and a back nine of 31 shots gave him a total of 38 points to take third place.
Two sixes
Newly-crowned player/manager of Tarbert AFC David Ronald took second place on 39 points, although, but for two sixes on the back nine, David could easily have had a better score.
The winner on 42 points was Bruce MacNab, who had halves of 34 and 31 for a one-under 65, his round including four birdies.
This was another successful day at Tarbert Golf Club with the members, as always, grateful to Allan and David for their continued support.
