Please remember the winter handicap applies all week whether one or two cards are submitted and is only adjusted, where necessary, after close of play every Saturday. As the winter league is a stableford competition please ensure stableford points are included on the scorecard.

Beat the green fee increase

It was announced at the club AGM on Friday evening that there will be a small rise in green fee subscriptions next year, amounting on average to approximately 3%. The increase is due to rising costs and the forthcoming increase in VAT from 4 January 2011. However as an incentive for early renewal, any member who pays their 2011 subscription before 31 December will be able to do so at the 2010 rates. Please contact David Norman if you wish to take advantage of this offer.

Winter has arrived - at least for competitions

The draws for the winter singles and doubles matchplay competitions have been made and are posted in the clubhouse. There are five preliminary ties in the singles competitions that are due to be completed this month so please let me know if you are likely to have any difficulty meeting the relevant date.

The winter league starts today and sign in sheets are in the competition folder adjacent to the PSI terminal in the clubhouse. As the winter league is run manually rather than on Club 2000, just put your completed score cards in the box. Handicaps will be amended on a weekly basis after close of play every Saturday. The sweep and 2's competition are optional and run all week (from Sunday to Saturday).

Match Versus Whitemoss G.C. Sunday 26th September

Received a call form Whitemoss saying they are unable to raise the numbers for a team for this Sundays match therefore they have had to cancel the match.
Thankyou all for playing in the matches this season, they were great fun, it is unfortunate that this one could not have been played however, we have had a very successful season winning 4 and losing just 1 of our matches.

Summer Knockout Foursomes Winners

On a very damp Sunday morning it felt far from summer the final of the foursomes was played between Scott Murray/Brian Alexander and Ian Taylor/David Douglas.
Scott and Brian started brightly winning the opening two holes but they were pegged back and at the turn were two down. A win at the the 11th for Ian and David was followed by wins for Scott and Brian on 12 and 15 but a 10 foot putt by Ian on the 16th and a half on 17 meant a win 2 and 1 for Ian and David.
Worthy finalists and delighted winners.

Thus the winners of this years knockout competitions were.

Singles- Mark Tinker.
Four-ball- Norman Dyce and Gary McLuskey.
Foursomes- Ian Taylor and David Douglas.

Autumn Meeting Results

A field of 40 enjoyed excellent autumn weather and a welcome lack of any serious breeze today, resulting in some impressive scoring.

Summer Matchplay Singles Knockout Champion

The final of this years competition was played at a breezy Strathmore last night with Mark Tinker playing Joel Grant. Joel had a slow start and found himself 5 down after 7 holes but mounted a bit of a comeback early in the back nine. However Mark prevailed and won on the 16th 4 and 2.
A lot of golf has to be played to get to the final of this competition and both deserve credit for getting through but congratulations to Mark for his overall victory.

Eric accepts the Wooden Spoon

on behalf of his team of gents who were blown away by the ladies on Sunday afternoon. The ladies were worthy winners and won 4.5-0.5. You can tell by Eric's face this was not his favourite moment of the year. Well done the ladies.

Summer Four Ball Knockout Champions

Well well our winning duo are Norman Dyce and Gary McLuskey who overcame David Johnston and David Norman 3 and 2 over Strathmore on a windy Sunday afternoon. Both pairs have negotiated tough matches to get to the final and Gary and Norman are very worthy winners having played well throughout this season.

It is a tough competition to win and they were as you can see well chuffed, and rightly so.

Away Match Strathmore G.C. versus King James G.C. Sunday 12th September

We have our fifth inter club match of the season when we play in Perth against King James a week on Sunday. A team of 12 is needed for this match and the sign up sheet is on the match board in the changing room. Looking to make it four wins for the season, now the away day is cancelled a chance to play a new course for whoever wishes to play.

Gents Away Day - Cancelled

Unfortunately, due to a lack of numbers indicating an intention to attend, the Committee has taken the decision to cancel the away day, scheduled for Saturday 11 September. There is already a sweep in the fixture book for that day - sign up sheet is in the clubhouse.
