Sunday 23rd April – Captain’s Day
The decision to postpone Captain’s Day by a week due to inclement weather proved to be a wise one as a field of 27 players enjoyed a fine morning’s golf and superb hospitality in the clubhouse afterwards. The day being more about fun than serious golf we played a Stableford from the yellow and red tees that was a ‘non counter’ for handicap purposes and perhaps the relaxed atmosphere helped to generate some fine scoring with the top 9 players beating par figures and the top three bettering 40 points. Winner on the day was Dougie Auld whose 43 points just beat Neil “Sonic” Lucas on 42. Charlie Taylor came in as top lady golfer on 37 points, the highlight of her round being a fine 2 at the par 4 15th.
Grateful thanks to WBGC captain Doreen Mainds who provided a generous array of prizes, as well as her renowned Tartan Tablet, and hosted the clubhouse celebrations with aplomb. A real fun day.
Winner of the Captain’s Prize for 2023 – Dougie Auld and here’s a selection of photos of players on the day

A regular and popular visitor to Whiting Bay since his childhood, and a member of WBGC throughout, Tam Buchanan passed away in hospice care on Friday 21st April. Always ready for a chat and amiable to all Tam will be greatly missed and our thoughts and condolences go to Irene and the family at this sad time. Here’s a picture from just a couple of years ago when Tam celebrated one of his many holes in one, this time at our 17th, with son Craig who emulated the feat just a few days later.
