Another Soggy Weekend! by Webmaster @ 13:04 GMT

So frustrating! Yet again, week 4, this at the fourth time of trying to get it played, had to be cancelled due to the flooded greens. Although not as bad on Saturday, the greens were still far too wet to be played on so the January Medal also had to be postponed.
This also means that the re-arranged winter fixture list has had to be modified and, with the long range forecast being the way it is, this will not be for the last time. All members are advised to keep an eye on the fixture list that is posted on the competition board of the the foyer to keep up with modified fixtures. Either this or this publication or the web site. Every effort possible will be made to keep members updated.

Winter League Returns! by Webmaster @ 15:06 GMT

Rothesay Motor Services Winter League
The qualifying stages are now just past the halfway mark and already a few pairs look favourites to qualify while others are already struggling to keep themselves from out of the Wooden Spoon sector. In League A, Jim Muldoon and Liam Shanks continue to hold their top of the league spot with a halved match against Jimmy Dunn and Ron Nicol. This now leaves them on 13 points and have a single point lead over David Beattie and Robert Jardine who kept up their challenge with a 4 and 2 win over Ian Shaw and Robert Turnbull who was substituting for Taff Barnsley. Below them are 2 pairs on 11 points. Jim McKirdy and Robert Cassisdy had a rather surprisingly comfortable win over David Reid and David Driver by the margin of 3 and 2. The other couple on 11 are Jack Paterson and Jamie Jardine who had the shock defeat of the day by going down 4 and 3 to Gordon Peacock and Andy Williamson who was subbing for Colin Renfrew. At the other end of the table Renfrew and Peacock climbed off the bottom with that win to third bottom on 8with Dunn and Nicol also on 8 while Shaw and Barnsley nestle at the bootom of the pile on 7.
In League B Donald Standaloft and Calum Robertson remain at the top with 13 points, but were hard pressed to get a halved match on Sunday against David Bodys and Hunter Martin. There are then 3 pairings on 11 points. David Bodys and Hunter Martin is one of those pairs and the other two are Harry Slaven and Ted McDonald and David Whitelaw and Jordan Morrison. Harry and Ted, although Graham Dunn substituted for Ted on Sunday, had a 3 and 2 win over Mark Crichton and Francois Lintermans whilst Whitelaw and Morrison had a 1 up win over Robert Thorton and Phil Ware. At the bootom end Jim Bicker and John Marshall find themselves firmly rooted in bottom spot after their 3 and 2 defeat at the hands of Bobby Pedder and John Black. However with the results going the way they did on Sunday this league is still wide open although it is hard to see Standaloft and Robertson not qualifying in the top 4.
Results from Sunday were:
League A - Cassidy & McKirdy bt Reid & Driver 3&2: Fisher & McFarlane bt Whitelaw & Chrystie 2 up: Dunn & Nicol halved with Muldoon & Shanks: Jardine & Beattie bt Shaw & Barnsley (Turnbull) 4 &2: Peacock & Renfrew (Williamson) bt Jardine & Paterson 4&3

League B - Morrison & Whitelaw bt Thornton & Ware 1 up: Standaloft & Robertson halved with Bodys & Martin: Slaven & McDonald (Dunn) bt Crichton and Lintermans 3&2: Greer & Greer bt MacPhail & Barnett 1 up: Black & Pedder bt Bicker & Marshall 3&2

Another Wash-Oot! by Webmaster @ 15:10 GMT

Yet again week 4 of the Rothesay Motor Services Winter League was unsuccessful in completing the ties. Withe 6 games of the 10 on the course and the greens becoming more and more waterlogged the match Secretary made himself a popular, or unpopular depending on which pair was winning at that time, gentleman by pulling all the games off the course. However there was golf, of sorts, played over the week-end. The December Medal attracted 7 hardy souls and to say it was blustery would be a gross understatement. Couple that with the occasional rain shower and conditions were not condusive to good golf as all the scorecards indicated. Suffice to say that the best score of the day came from a rare appearance by Andy Williamson who took the second class medal. Graham Fisher took the first class while Gordon Peacock won the scratch medal. (The scores have not been printed to protect the reputations of all who played!) CSS was a non-counter.
