Jimmy Whitelaw Cup by Webmaster @ 12:24 GMT

Ian Shaw won this prestigious cup on Sunday with 2 very solid 12 hole rounds of 42 and 40. In second spot at the half way stage Ian stretched ahead of the 40 strong field in the second round with the best round of the day with his PM round of 40. Donald Standaloft was in the lead at the end of the first round with his 40 but a 44 in the afternoon was good enough to give him second place but he elected to take the best scratch prize with a total of 86 for 24 holes which equals 10 under 4's - great shooting from the lowest handicapper in the Club. Second spot then went to Francois Lintermans with his total of net 84 with Andy Williamson taking third place with a net of 87.
Once again the prizelist for this 2 x 12 hole competition was extensive thanks to the generous sponsorship of Hector Whitelaw and family and full list was:
Winner - Ian Shaw (82): Runner Up - Francois Lintermans (84): Third - Andy Williamson (87): Scratch Prize - Donald Standaloft - (86): nearest pin at the 10th - David Driver: Nearest Pin at 18 - Mark Crichton: Longest Drive at 2 - Donald Standaloft: Best round of the am - Jim Bicker (42): Best Round of the pm - Gordon Whitelaw (41).

56 Wins the Rover! by Webmaster @ 14:41 GMT

David Driver won the crystal Rover Cup with a staggering score of 56. His gross 71 less 15 is, so far, the best net score of the season and is an indication of just how good the Port course is at the moment. Added testament to that is the runner up score of 61 from Donald Standaloft. Both players had eagles at the 14th and Donald added another 2 at 16 while David, not to be outdone, had another 2 at 18. Mind you they did not have the two's sweep all to themselves as our octagenerian Jimmy Gordon had a 2 at 18.
Run in conjunction with the September medal it means that both players add their respective class medal to the collection. Donald winning the scratch with his gross 63 and David winning the second class with his 56. the first class medal was won by Robert Turnbull with a net 64.
CSS was 65.

Past Captain's Jug

Finaly the Past Captain's Jug was competed for and a healthy field was headed by Graham Dunn who took the honours with a net 44.
