Arran Golfers Association
Friday May 14, AGA Seniors Crystal Bowl final. On a glorious evening for golf, Whiting Bay again came up short in the final of the ‘Crystal’, this time losing on their home patch to Machrie Bay.
The match was a close one though with never more than a two-hole margin in each game. In the opening game, Whiting Bay pair Gus MacLeod and Ronnie Mann lost by two holes on the final green to Machrie’s Campbell Laing and Alex Morrison-Cowan, while in the game behind, John Pennycott and Dougie Auld found themselves one down to Machrie pair Brian Sherwood and John Milesi on leaving the 17th green.
Needless to say the match was played in the best of spirits, just as one would expect when so many island pals come together to enjoy their golf.
It is the second runners-up spot in a row for Whiting Bay, but many congratulations to the Machrie team on a fine performance. Many thanks to everyone involved at Whiting Bay Golf Club for hosting.
