Men’s competitions, Wednesday 9th October and Saturday 12th October 2013. Wednesday saw the worst of the autumn weather with wind, rain and cold temperature. Eleven brave individuals turned out to play a medal competition but only one of them managed to return a score. The competition was abandoned. Saturday was a complete contrast with clear skies and sunshine. A total of 47 players turned out to play a medal competition, including 11 of the monthly medal winners who were competing for the Medal Winners’ Trophy. The winning score on the day came from Finlay MacKintosh (12) with an excellent nett 64, earning a shot reduction in handicap. He just pipped Steve McLachlan (5) 65, whose gross 70 was the best scratch score. Andrew Brien (19) 67 came third followed by Andrew Dallas (11) and Ian Clark (6), both with nett 68. Three players scored nett 69: Sam Denman (7), Mike MacWilliam (12) and Iain MacWilliam (7). Steve McLachlan won the Medal Winners’ Trophy, with Andrew Brien runner-up. Sam Denman was third and Brian MacKintosh (8) 70 was fourth. Next Saturday, 19th October, is the final competition of the season, a Texas Scramble, 4 players per team, mixed men, ladies and juniors. The competition will have a shotgun start at 2pm and be followed by refreshments and a social evening in the clubhouse. Members may enter their names up to noon on Saturday, when a draw will be made to determine teams and starting holes. Kind Regards, Bill Kellaway Match & Handicap Convenor Kingussie Golf Club
