The Winning Post 2022 Ladies & Gents Competition Reports

Posted on August 14, 2022 | by Mark Street

A week of hot weather presented an additional challenge to our competitive golfers as well as our greenkeepers. Thursday is our starting point with the Carrbridge Ladies hosting the Grantown Ladies for a friendly match and although the heat brought the match to a early conclusion after 16 holes and the teams agreed to a draw, everyone enjoyed the occasion and the soup and sandwiches provided by William and Jacqui post match. The visiting ladies had much praise for the condition of the course. Saturday was the Charity Texas Scramble (see separate report). Sunday was an unplanned Stableford for the gents, filling in one of the unused reserve days. On a hot morning the scoring was surprisingly good with 6 of the field scoring 40 or more. Top score was 47 from Mark Street with Kevin Taylor second with 44 and Stewart Taylor third on count back with 43.

In the handicap section the situation was a little bit closer with new member John Macfarlane (69) and Vince McLaughlin (68) chasing down the leader. With 2 extra players joining the field for the second day the battle lines were drawn and with the draw made in order of position after day 1 there was a air of excitement as each group came through to the last hole and returned their cards for score entry. The overnight leader did not look happy. Had he thrown it away? The scores were entered and although the chasing pack made some ground on the leader, it wasn’t enough to change the result. The 2022 Gents Club Champion is Rob Nixon, with Jamie Gordon and Andy Murray making up the top three. The handicap section was topped by a fine performance from John Macfarlane who returned a 62 to add to his 69, Vince McLaughlin was second with a total of 133 and Lewis MacBean third with 142.
