2-4-2 Pairs

Our first competition of the year, the 2-4-2 pairs was played on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th April. The good weather held throughout, with section winners Marion Donald and Ian Forman, Allan McBain and Myra Sutherland, and Phil Moir and John McGregor joined by best runners-up Sheena McBain and Phil Ward in Friday’s semi-finals. Allan and Myra managed to get the better of Phil M and John to meet up with Phil W. and Sheena in the final.

The final was very close, with the teams tied going into the final end. Sheena managed to draw a close shot early on, which was never beaten, and hence Phil W. and Sheena bagged the first of 2018’s silverware.

Green Now Open

We were blessed with great weather for our opening of the green on 15th April. We were able to play 4 pairs and one triple, over 12 ends. On the day, the President’s team came out on top, beating the Vice President’s team by 67 shots to 42. Thanks to everyone that came along.
