Whiting Bay Golf Club
Wednesday July 15, The Jim Pirie Quaich. Eighteen played in damp conditions but, thankfully, no persistent rain. Scoring was not quite as spectacular as recent outings and CSS stayed at 63/36 Stableford points. The top of the leaderboard bore a striking resemblance last Sunday’s with Jamie Macpherson winning, again, by one shot this time from David Brookens, John Pennycott and Kevin Jackson.
Result: 1 Jamie Macpherson (5)38 pts, 2 David Brookens (12)37 acb, 3 John Pennycott (12)37 acb, 4 Kevin Jackson (10)37. Jamie bagged a magic two @2nd while Graeme Crichton did likewise @15th.
Sunday July 19, Nestor’s Jug. A total of 21 played in this popular holiday season Stableford and it was nice to see so many old friends back on the course following the easing of the lockdown. The blustery wind and having the pins moved back to more challenging positions restored some of the course’s defences and scoring was such that CSS went out to 64/35 Stableford points.
Result: 1 Brian Murray (9)36 pts, 2 Neil Lucas (12)35 acb, 3 Jamie Macpherson (5)35 acb, 4 Dave Hackett (14)35. Scott Adair and Neil McKechnie bagged magic twos @2nd and @7th respectively but creditable as those were they were roundly trumped by Ronnie Mann’s two 8th.
