The perfect weather conditions on Tuesday brought several players out of the woodwork for a well-contested stableford competition, and the course certainly didn’t disappoint.
Elspeth Scotford came agonisingly close to a hole-in-one, striking the pin before sinking a short one-foot putt for birdie — a heart-stopping near miss that drew plenty of attention.
Jacqui Wall had a fantastic round to take out the ladies’ competition with 36 points, while Gary Scotford delivered the performance of the day, blitzing the field with a stunning 41 points to win the men’s division.
Let’s hope Gary hasn’t peaked too early with the Club Championships just around the corner!
