A decent field of 19 turned out for the latest of our charity opens held over, for obvious reasons, from the earlier part of the season. Ryan Armstrong continued his good form to win on 39 points pipping Sandy Pringle on a back 9 countback.
1st Ryan Armstrong (6) – 39 points acb
2nd Sandy Pringle (13) – 39
3rd John Rankin (10) – 37
4th Nicol Auld (4) – 35 acb
CSS stayed at 63/36 points and there were 3 magic 2s; Gus Macleod @ 4th, Russell Adams and John Rankin @ 17th.
Sunday 13th September – The Hamilton Salver
12 played and endured a blustery morning and a course very wet underfoot. Thankfully the rain stayed away but even so Kevin Jackson’s winning score of 38 points was quite an achievement standing the conditions.
1st Kevin Jackson (8) – 38 points
2nd John Pennycott (13) – 36
3rd Douglas Auld (18) – 34
4th Gus Macleod (13) – 33
CSS stayed at 63/36 points and there were no 2s recorded.
Those of us who are members of Whiting Bay know how fortunate we are. We live on (or regularly visit) a beautiful island, we play a course that is invariably in good shape with some of the finest views imaginable and we meet some wonderful people. For some people however it’s not so easy. Here’s a letter from four of our US based visitors. They travel thousands of miles every time they play Whiting Bay. It’s clear from the letter just how much the club means to them and it’s heartwarming to read their supportive comments. It’s nice to know we are doing something right!
Jonathan, Neil, Brian and Tyler are now members of Whiting Bay GC and we look forward to seeing them the next time they can make it across the pond.
Thanks for writing guys and welcome to the club.
