Strathclyde Saturday Morning Golf Day 1st July 2009

On a glorious day at Royal Blairbeth G.C., the league’s inaugural golf event took place with 14 participants.  Teams represented were County Thistle, Greenbank United and Shawbridge and the Referees.

The competition was decided over a Stableford scoring format and the prizes on the day went to:

 1st Place – John Wallace (Refer-tees)

2nd Place – Donnie McIntyre (County Callaway Thistle)

3rd Place – Iain Waugh (Galvin Greenbank United)

Nearest The Pin at the 4th hole – Mark Longmuir (Shaw Bridgestone)

Longest Drive at the 5th hole – Stuart McElveen (Shaw Bridgestone)

Must Try Harder Prize – Tam McAvoy (County Callaway Thistle)


(L-R Stephen McLean, Colin Campbell, John Wallace, Iain Waugh, Michael Auld, Tam McAvoy, Dougie Stewart, Donnie McIntyre, Barry Stewart, Stephen Thompson, Steven McAvoy, Mark Longmuir, Stuart McElveen and Craig McDonald)

All in, the day was a great success and I hope that the SSML Golf Day can grow year in, year out. I know there are more golfers amongst us within the League so I was hopeful of a better response but I recognise that the geography of where the event was staged and the day being held midweek may not have suited everyone.  If you are a partaker of the sacred game then I hope to see you next year.

I have provided a copy of my handicap certificate for anyone who is screaming “FIX” – obviously local knowledge came into force !
