Thanks again to Eddie for the update.....

​

We have had another cold winter day with strong northerly winds, that have made for very difficult golfing conditions, that is except for the Phantom.  However we had two Wagglers who challenged The Ghost Who Walks and that was Bruce Grant and Derek Todd. They both played exceptionally well to record 35 and 34 stableford points respectively and tie up the prize list, for later...

​

We had two visitors today, being Bob Griffiths and Stu Heaton.  Both challenged the conditions and went out to play when many others faltered; a credit to their tenacity. Unfortunately for Bob the cold conditions did not suit his game and on the 17th hole, much to the delight of his team-mates, he had an error meaning a shout for a well earned whisky for us all.

​

This week particular attention was taken to tee off at the correct time and this generated two foursomes and three threesomes, so a total of 14 players in the field. Strangely nobody took up the opportunity to have a birthday shout with this low number.

​

So the results for the day were as follows and it must be started that the phantom groups had a distinct advantage today:

​

The first 6 holes won by Mahmoud, Derek Todd and Fairway Phil in 26 points.

​

The second 6 holes split between Keenan/Carvell/Bolty and Walter, Cameron, Heaton, Griffiths in 34 points.

   

The third 6 holes was won again by Nikou/ Broughton/Todd in a close fought tranche with 43 points.

​

The Blue Jacket was won by Bruce Grant with 35 points and according to his partners he was very tight with his chipping and putting. It also came to our attention via Farmer MacKay that he was complaining about a slow group in front of him today....( Pots and black kettles ..... )

​

The swingers trophy was won by Derek Todd with  2 birdies, great stuff Derek another trip to Balclutha.

​

The raffle was won by Bolty with no 6... the second week in a row.

​

Another enjoyable day for the Wagglers team.
