Latest Competition Results 2010
Wednesday 1 September 2010
We had a real grandstand finish to this year's Bennett Cup on Wednesday. With leaders Cameron McLellan and Craig Love unable to play, the road was clear for other contenders to make an attempt to overtake them. The main challenger turned out to be Ross White. Playing with his dad, he witnessed Jim return a terrific net 62 and wished he could do the same. However, needing a net 68 to tie or a 67 to win, Ross was 38 to the turn and in with a real shout. Standing on the fifteenth tee, 8 handicapper Ross was only 4 over par. Bogeys at 15, 16 and 17 meant a par was needed to win the cup and he duly delivered. This means that Ross has now double his haul of trophies (Crawford Bogey 1999) at the club. Well done.

- Saturday 28 August 2010
- Gents, another fantastic day for scoring on Saturday. Having started out in the second game, and playing in a sponsored charity event, where every player had to complete 18 holes in five hours, Andy Jamieson returned a terrific season's best 66. Pre match Europa League celebrations from Frank Molloy, scratch 72, and John McEleny, 76, were enough to bhoy them for the day's play and they both returned net 67s (Good year,that).
- Incidentally, Frank played the roadrunner last week in the final of the Reid Rose Bowl. 2 down with only 3 to play, and Big Shug stroking at two of these holes did not put Frank off, as he finished 2,3,4 to take the competition to a replay.
In section 2, Jim Long will be disappointed to get on the bogey trail, mid round, but still managed to return a net 68 to win the section.
Danny Fulton started his round off with a 7 followed by a 6, but managed to gather himself for a net 67.
Wednesday sees the last round of the Wednesday Medal competitions which is the Bennett Cup. There are a whole host of possible winners of this and the weather has promised to be kind.

Tremendous scoring yet again on a Wednesday, with the CSS dropping down to 68. Returning from the Algarve where, unlike him, he spent some time practising, Cameron McLellan came back to record an excellent 65 which got him close to equalling the course record. Five birdies were offset by a double bogey on 14 and Cameron now joins Craig 'the gambler' Love as leader of the Bennett Cup on 129. The final round of the Bennett will be next Wednesday and a couple of others will feel they are still in with a shout. Alan Young (62), Charlie Paul (63), William Crawford, Ian Kerrigan, Don Shields, Mark McCaig and Ian Hendry all have 64s. Another highlite of Wednesday was the hole in one by Jamie McEwan at the third.
The sleeping policeman and Stuart Alexander will be pleased to see Captains Foursomes opponents, Ian Doak and David Robertson both recording handicap reducing scores, prior to their forthcoming semi final.
Due to holiday committments, the final of the Reid Rose Bowl takes place this afternoon, and not on Finals Day. The Roadrunner is up against the centenary champion Frank Molloy. Boosted by having taken out Alistair Roy in the semis, a handicap reduction of two strokes already this year, multiple scores within the buffer and also receiving ten shots, it is difficult to make a case against Hughie. Hughie to win by 2 & 1.Beep! beep!
The AM AM on Friday is filling up nicely and we currently have over 80 people who generally would not be around the club on a Friday. Still a few spaces left and the prize fund is substantial, so feel free to put in a team.e a chance. Weather forecast is promising as well.

Saturday 21 August 2010
On Wednesday, we had one of the best net scores of the year from Pat Tinney. As everyone knows, Pat is up at the course quite a lot just now, putting in the hours until well into the night. Having started with a normal bogey at the first, he then birdied 3, 5 and 8 to be 2 under entering the loop. He then had a 6, an unbelievable 7 and then a 5. Back to back birdies at 15 and 16 were followed by two pars. A superb round of 71 less 10 takes Pat into single figures for the first time and breaks him away from the other leading performers in his section (Alan Currie, Davie Docherty and Graham Knox) who will struggle to catch him now. Basking in his glory, Pat was shocked to hear,just minutes later, that Derek Leitch had also a net 61 from a handicap of 19.
A 63 from Graham Knox was enough to take a one shot lead in the 'Willow', with only one round remaining. This competition is wide open, and, given some decent weather, there are a number of players who might yet win it. Graham is sitting on 128 (63,65), but there are a number with the following single round scores who might fance their chances.
Derek Leitch & Pat Tinney (61), Ricky Hall, Riccardo Di Murro and Alan Currie (62), Holder Archie Wohlgemuth, Stuart Alexander and Jim Harkness all with 63. The final round is on September 8.
Saturday was the Captain's Trophy. This cup was presented by past captains, back in 1971.
With the weather being consistent all day we saw scores from the first two games and scores from the last two games being the contenders for the prize. Out first was Craig Thomson, whose gross 70 was enough to collect the scratch prize, just pipping Scott Hunter on the countback. Scott also missed out on the best net in section one on the countback, from former Captain's Trophy winner and playing partner Duncan Anderson, who had a season's best of net 64. In the very last game of the day, David Williams, son of Charlie, was delighted to return a net 64, which included a 6 at the seventh and a finish of 5,4,5 which allowed him to collect the prize in section 2.
Out in the second game was Jim Duncan. As a driving instructor,Jim is never known to break any speed limit, and manouvered himself round the course with 81 shots. Jim's round was very consistent and a par at the last secured the trophy. Just as delighted were Graeme McLellan and Simon Harley who await Jim and Alan Rodgers in the final of the Provost.
The AM AM is filling up nicely and the timesheet is attached. The support of those who have elected to play is appreciated.
I have 4 complimentary tickets for this week's European Tour golf at Gleneagles, and, if anyone wishes to go, then please send me an e mail and they can use them. This will be on a first come first served basis.

Championship Final - Sat 31 August 2010
Over the course of Friday evening and 2 rounds on Saturday, the club witnessed the final stages of this year's Championship. An incredible match took place in the first semi final between sibling rivals, Kenny and Alistair Roy. The statistic of 17 halved holes and a single hole win on the fourth summed up how tight this game was, with Kenny being the victor.
In the other match Crawford Rae took on Graeme McLellan, but was overwhelmed by the player on form and Graeme won on the fifteenth green.
This set of results meant that we had two first time finalists turning up on a bleak Saturday morning. It was ironic that they were also the leading two players in the Montford Trophy and they are also the top two players in our order of merit, the Robert Spence Trophy. With each player having taken out a previous champion in Murdie Carmichael and Crawford Rae and both having successes against similar opponents en route to the final, it was almost impossible to predict a winner.
Both players were justifiably nervous about the encounter and, allied to brutal tee placements and pin positions (Donald Trump has contacted the club asking for the services of Jimmy McAulay, in designing his next course at Aberdeen!) and rough weather, it was obvious that pars might be good enough to win holes. An early lead after 3 holes by Graeme was overcome by a birdie at five by Kenny. All square at the turn showed how close this was going to be. However, Graeme managed to get into a two up lead after 16 holes only to lose the seventeenth.
It looked as though Kenny was going to square the match at eighteen, with him being comfortably on the green and Graeme being off the green and miles away from the hole. However, Graeme, using his putter from the wet grass, in a strategy, which the following crowd thought was high risk considering the conditions,knocked his ball stiff and then watched Kenny three put from close range. Graeme polished off a couple of chilli burgers from the gala day barbeque to celebrate a two up lead.With the weather rapidly deteriorating both players were finding the conditions extremely difficult. However, an early birdie from Kenny allied to a tee shot on four which went into the first burn from Graeme saw the match return to all square. A catalogue of errors and poor course management at the sixth meant Kenny was now in the lead for the first time in the final.
We now present a small memento for the shot of the championship and this came at the 27th hole. Graeme, who, by now, was looking to possibly regain his lead, as Kenny was 100yds away in two shots, could only look on as Kenny put a wedge to a couple of inches of the hole to take a one up lead with nine to play. This was a lead which was never relinquished and Kenny eventually closed the match out on the 35th hole, winning the championship by 3 & 1
.
In the Seniors championship, Alan Young took on Jim Gallagher. This was a first time final for both players and they take great credit for the scalps they took out in earlier rounds. Jim, in particular, won games against much lower handicapped players in John Houston and Raymond Barr. Alan had defeated Dave Terrey and Duncan Cameron.
There was a real sense of occasion on the first tee as the crowd were greeted with the presence of PC Martin Kane working the bag of Alan. Rumour has it, that Martin had been promised the 'Tele' would be sending a photographer along. Jim was unable to find such a high calibre caddy and could only employ the services of son, Peter.The standard of play in the game,itself, was high and the lead changed hands a number of times and it was only through a superb putt on the eighteenth that gave Alan his first ever Seniors Championship.

Wed 28 July 2010 - Championship Update
The quarter finals of the Championship was played this evening. Shrugging off his reputation for being wary of juniors, Crawford Rae turned in a superb performance in his 3 up victory over Robbie Wilkie. Robbie can look forward to the junior final on Saturday.
The secong game was predicted to be a tight fought encounter. However, taking on old adversary Murdie Carmichael, it was Kenny Roy who put his opponent to the sword. At one point he was 4 up and eventually won the match on the fifteenth.
2008 finalist, Alex McGregor was matched against another finalist in Alistair Roy. A pre match routine which involves numerous putts and pitches bore fruit for Al, as he went on to a 7 and 6 win to ensure one of the Rhoy Bhoys will be in this years final.
The form player of the past few weeks is definitely Graeme McLellan. In his quarter final against Andy Jamieson he showed no mercy in closing out the tie 4 and 3.
Friday's semi final lineup sees Graeme play Crawford and the battle of the Roys.
I give up trying to pick a winner as it is too close to call.
Thursday night sees the club compete in the semi final of the County Cup. Representing all of us,away to Cochrane Castle is the following group:
Andy Jamieson, Pat Tinney, Jim Fleming and George Boyd.
PS I am looking for the names of all members, with guests names and clubs who have won the member and guest day.
Last night saw the matchplay stages of the Championship being played out in not the bets of weather, but the games, as usual, provided plenty of drama.
The predictor managed to get 7 out of the 8 results correct, with only the first game, between Simon Middleton and Robbie Wilkie being incorrect. A 2 and 1 win for Robbie proves,yet again, that matches involving juniors should be avoided.
Big John Gunn was also up against previous finalist and junior member, Alex McGregor, and was 2 up coming out of the loop. A bottle was heard to gently break somewhere in the next few holes as John lost out to Alex.
Crawford Rae duly dispatched Steven Lapsley with a 3 and 2 victory.
The top match of the night was between David MacFarlane and Graeme McLellan. Big Mac was never in danger, winning 4 & 3 in a game which was played in record time.
Past captain Alex Roy put together a run of three 3s on the back nine and missed a couple of three footers, but was still up against a favourite in Andy Jamieson. Andy wins by 2 and 1.
Alistair Roy was 1 down to the Mauler on the seventeenth, which he won and then holed a monster birdie putt to take the match 1 up.
Murdie Carmichael,obviously unhappy with the handling of Sunday's junior open, put his second shot at the fourth, straight onto Andy Brands napper, full toss. This actually prevented his ball going into the ditch near the fifth tee, so he just chipped in onto the green and holed the putt. Mark Scanlan put up a terrific show, but lost out 1 down.
Andy Brands will wake up this morning to find out he was defeated 5 & 4 by Kenny Roy.
Wednesday's matches are all finely balanced affairs and will tee off at 5pm and we will see Crawford Rae taking on Robbie Wilkie. Although Crawford is another player with a huge reputation, he is not a big fan of playing against juniors. However, Crawford should progress.
Graeme McLellan will have used up most of his energy in running round the course last night, so Andy Jamieson will make that advantage count in a narrow victory.
Alistair Roy should take advantage of his fortune against the Mauler and come through in a tight tussle with Alex McGregor.
Murdie against Kenny Roy is the most difficult to call. But, now that he is on the march, we go for Muride to pip Kenny.
Attached are the current standings in The Robert Spence and also a wee look at who is the player with the current best 10 net scores.
Worth a real mention is the Seniors championship. Alan Young will take on Jim Gallagher (who has two terrific scalps on his way to the final) in Saturday's 18 hole final. Although the adage is never to dismiss an injured golfer, I believe that Alan will put Jim's groin to the test and win his first championship.

Saturday 24 July 2010 - Club Ch'ship Qualifier Round 2
Before moving on to the major story we can dispense with the Mail on Sunday, 5 man team saga. Unlike Raymond Domenech, the self appointed M & H done his best to prepare this group, of what actually turned out to be turkeys, in a professional manner. However, like Les Blues, it became apparent very early on, that they were afraid of travelling abroad and the match on Friday turned into a bit of a debacle.
Having been sent to the far east, this representative group returned with a story concocted about opponents who had previously held much lower handicaps and, who now see said handicaps doubled over a couple of years. The same players are also credited with having the ability to play wonder shots of which Louis Oosthuizen is probably incapable. Anyway, a good run has come to a halt and only the selector comes out with any credit.
In the second round of the Championship players were greeted with a course matching the occasion. Traditional Championship pin positions tested the participants, especially at the seventh,where only one two was recorded all day, and that was from course architect Jimmy McAulay. On some of the remaining holes, it was difficult to tell if the pin was actually on the green!
From the previous Saturday, it turned out that the qualifiers for the last 16 matchplay places all came from the top 20 leaders and Frank Molloy was probably the only player to drop out of those leaders and miss out. He said it was due to losing his ball on the third tee, before he played it! There was only one player who made it into the 16 from those who scored more than 77 in the first round and that was only due to Stuart Alexander excluding himself from the matchplay rounds. 3 players had scored 78 in round one and added 75s. Current champion,Craig Thomson and Alan Hulme (who finished 5,5) both missed out on the countback to John Gunn.
In a random draw for the matchplay, we see the following interesting lineup of games.
1) Simon Middleton, recent semi finalist, will play junior member Robbie Wilkie. Robbie is on a fine run of form, but Simon should progress.
2)Steven Lapsley, another multiple semi finalist, will play multiple championship winner Crawford Rae. Crawford to win this one, but it will be very tight.
3)Having scored a superb 65 in round two, and also having avoided a junior, Graeme McLellan will take on David MacFarlane. This might be the year that Graeme makes a real run at the competition, so will go for a Big Mac.
4)Another player who gets to the semi final stages regularly is Alex Roy. However,Andy Jamieson, the real dark horse for the title, will give Alex the time to concentrate on his Challenge Cup campaign. Andy to make the final is my big prediction.
5)John Gunn will line up against recent finalist,Alex McGregor, and discover why the big guns do not like playing juniors. Alex to go through.
6)Two recent finalists will match up. The Mauler will play Ali Roy. This will be a tough game, but I go for al to progress.
7)Andy Brands will be exhausted after running the junior open on Sunday and will have nothing left to offer against Montford Trophy winner, kenny Roy.
8)Young Mark Scanlan is pitted against Murdie Carmichael. A recent sabbatical for the past champion should see him rejuvenated and Murdie will prove he is still the player to beat.
Before a blow is struck I will predict that Andy Jamieson will play Murdie in the final next Saturday!
All these games are really finely balanced and members should consider a trip up to the course on Monday evening to witness some fine golf with players' games being put under stress in their attempts to progress. I am sure they would all really welcome any spectators.
The Sid Montford Trophy was won by Kenny Roy with a two round total of 140, scoring 70 on each qualifying day. Well done Kenny. His nearest rival was Graeme McLellan who was two shots adrift on 142 with rounds of 77, 65.
