GENTS CLUB Championships 2026

 

GENTS CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS 2026 – Saturday  25 July

 

Todays saw the finals of the Strathmore Golf Club Championship.  It was a cracking day, nice and warm but with varied winds throughout – the gusts tended to coincide with the tee shots!  This was the culmination of 2 qualifying rounds of strokeplay followed by a knockout phase of the top 8 from each section. 

The Gents had 3 finals and here’s some pics and the results from each of them.

 SCRATCH CHAMPIONSHIP

This was a 36 hole contest off the Blue tees between Chris Flannigan and Scott Thomson.  Scott held a slender one-hole lead through the first 18 holes and then ended up victorious winning 5&4 in the end.
