October - So Far! by Webmaster @ 17:16 GMT

Two competitions played in October so far and two CSS scores of 64 indicate good golfing conditions and a course that has held up to the rains and squalls of September.
First on the CSS 64 list was the October Medal with Bobby Pedder carding the best score of the day, only by virtue of the better inward half though over I.L. Macleod, with a net 65 which was good enough to grab the second class medal. Mark Crighton made it a double up when he won both the scratch and first class medal with scores of 74 and 66 respectively.
Hector Whitelaw took full advantage of the very mild conditions when he carded a net 61 in the first round of the Winter Trophy but he was not the only one. Ted mcDonald showed a good return to form with a net 63. A two at the 18th improved Hector's financial status but had to share the rollover two kitty with Andy Williamson who seems to be making a habit of a two at the 18th in recent competitions.
