2020
Spring Meeting
Due to Covid 19 the Committee took the bold move to cancel the original plan to visit Barrassie Golf Club for the Spring Meeting in April and we had an afternoon out on Gullane No2 on 9th August instead.
The weather was fantastic and the course was in fine condition, we had 32 members attending and the competition was fierce.
Dougie Imrie and Scott Johnston had the best scratch scores (72) and the best handicap scores (69) so a countback was required, both had the same back 9 and both had the same last 6 holes and last 3 holes and last hole but Dougie triumphed by virtue of the best last 6 holes on the front nine and was awarded the Scratch medal and the Ross Cup for the best handicap score. Small consolation for Scott was that the prize vouchers of £100 were shared equally.
It was to get worse for Scott when Gregor McDonald beat him to nearest the pin at the 15th by one big foot print, 22 feet paces to 23 feet paces. Gordon McLeod won the nearest the pin at the 5th hole also at 22 feet paces both Gregor and Gordon were awarded 2 sleeves of golf balls each.
