The Club Championship saw Norman Dyce out of the blocks very quickly in both the morning and afternoon rounds. Starting the second round with a two hole advantage over Scott Thomson, Norman shot birdie, birdie, birdie, par, eagle to be five under par after the first five holes and stamped an unassailable lead on the match, despite Scott shooting a very respectable level par score over these holes. Scott fought back and steadied the ship over the next few hole however the match finished after the 33rd hole with Norman winning 5&3.
Elsewhere on finals day, the Brodie family pulled off an impressive double with Michael coming from behind to become Junior Club Champion with a 2+1 victory over Brad Bannerman and Kirsty becoming Ladies Club Champion in a match where the lead changed hands several time, eventually finishing on the 36th hole where she defeated Dawn Butchart, 2 up.
In the 5th final match of the day, Kay Finlay won the Ladies Rosebowl final with a victory over Edith Ralston.
A great day for all, despite some rain and overcast skies, with some very impressive golf played by all the finalist. Thanks must go to the Centre for ensuring plenty of time and space on course for all the matches and to the greenkeeping staff for presenting the couse in first class condition. Finally thanks must go to all those who spectated for the support and encouragment given to all the finalists and who were rewarded by a feast of hard fought, competitive matchplay golf.
The finalists receiving their awards from Lady Captain Jane Douglas are pictured below. Unfortunately Jack Scott had to leave before the presentation.
