Saturday September 4, Connor Smith Trophy. A total of 19 Juniors from Shiskine, Brodick, Lamlash and Whiting Bay took part. They played six holes off the junior tees and were awarded points for nearest the pin and for the first to sink their putt. Everyone enjoyed themselves and after having burger, chips and juice in the clubhouse there was a prizegiving.
The scores were very close, but Ewen Southwick (Shiskine) won with 25 points and received a gold medal from captain Fiona Henderson. Kirsty Hume (Brodick) and Finlay Jessop (Shiskine) came second with 24 points and received a silver medal. All the other juniors were given bronze medals.
Many thanks to the Smith family for donating sweets and medals. Thanks to all the helpers and to Alan and his team for the food and drink. Special thanks again to Clare Buchanan, junior convenor, for coordinating and organising this event.
