03/08/09 - CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS
-We have our winners, it started in dreich conditions on Saturday 25 July for the Senior's and ended on a dreich Saturday one week later but forget the conditions as the roll of honour for this year has now been determined:
- For the first time, the Senior Championship was played over 2 days and our own Greens Convenor Willie Paterson took the title with an excellent combined total of 151.
- Next up was the Junior Championship, which was played on Monday 27 July over the customary 2 rounds. Murray Gillan was triumphant with a combined 155 that included the best round of the day, a three over par of 75!!
- The big day then took centre stage with both the Gents and Ladies prizes presented. As is normal, the ladies is played as a matchplay competition and Maureen Woodhead beat last year's champion Marian Docherty 3 and 2, congratulations Maureen.
- Finally in probably the worst conditions, the gents prizes went down to the wire. A number of creditable scores were posted in the morning taking into account the weather and it proved to be an even tighter finish with 5 players all within one stroke of each other. However 2 players braved the conditions to score 153, Chris Mooney and John Jack. Thus we went to a play-off and is befitting the championship it took 6 holes to split them but eventually we had our Club Champion............JOHN JACK!!
- Well done to everyone that took part over the 4 competition days.
