Club Championship Semi Final Results

Experience overcame youth as Norman Dyce and Iain Butchart beat their opponents in last nights matches over a still but chilly Strathmore course.
In the first match Norman played near faultless golf as Mark Scott had the unenviable task of trying to outdo the cunning of his opponent but on this occassion had to accept second best as Norman finished two under par and with a win 5&4. Another impressive performance from Norman.
The other semi-final was the proverbial nail biter, game of two halves and pretty much everything else as Chris Flannigan established a good lead over the front nine with impressive ball striking that would have blasted most opponents right of course. Iain however showed gritty determination and forced his way back into the match with an eagle on the 11th, leading to a back nine of three under and his comeback was sealed on the 19th. Exhausting stuff to watch let alone play in.
Well done to both and good luck to you both in the final.
