Today we saw the first real evidence of high season golf at Mountain Shadow, with the course crowded and the pace of play slow, close to five hours to complete the round.
A field of nineteen competed so only one flight and Keith Hemmings was the winner on the day with thirty-five points, taking the honours on count-back from Geoff Bracegirdle. Third went to Mike Lloyd who was cruising until the closing holes when he collapsed and only scored on one of the last five holes. Geoff Parker brought up the rear with thirty-three points.

The first round of the Club Championship was held in beautiful weather at the popular Greenwood Course. Despite there being another society on the course we managed to avoid them and our game was played at a good pace without any delays.
All those in the winner’s circle posted good scores, the best being Mike Lloyd in B flight with an excellent score of net sixty-seven, followed by Ken Davidson on sixty-eight and Keith Hemmings on seventy-one.
The scores weren’t quite so good in the A flight, with Michael Brett taking first on net seventy-one followed by Geoff Cox on seventy-two and Stuart Brown on seventy-three.

The second round of the club championship was played under bright sunny skies at the Bangpra course which was in fine condition, but the temperature and humidity were both high and fatigue became a factor by the end of the round.
The winner of the club championship was Ken Davidson who put together two good rounds and played solidly all the way through, aided by a magic putter that seemed incapable of missing and confirming the old adage, “drive for show putt for dough”.
None of the more fancied golfers were able to match it with Ken and fell away, in particular Mike Lloyd, who was in the lead at the start of the day and had his chances but faltered at crucial times. It was a golden day for the Greig family with Colin and his two sons Murray and Lewis all appearing in the winner’s circle.
