LUNDIN LINKS 24TH OCTOBER
The first round of this years Winter Tour has been completed and what a fantastic day we had for golf. This year we played the course earlier than usual and they still had the full course set out with most of the holes playing longer than we have had them the past. Perfect playing conditions made it a great day out and a good start to the winter.
Last year at Ladybank in our final match of the season Gerry Cullen was the proud winner of our wooden spoon for the day. Today at our first match of this season Gerry got off to a flier and claimed first prize overall with a total of 36 points. Gerry must like Lundin Links as last year he also won there with 41 points.
Gerry brought with him the wooden spoon from last winter and he decided to keep it in the family and his younger brother Jim rose to the occasion and was the first winner of the spoon this winter with a grand total of 22 points.
This was clearly a good day at the office for the Cullen boys. They are never content winning just one prize.
In second place was one of last years most consistent players Ian Baird with 34 points. He was followed closely by Slim Jim Stirling on 33 points which was the same score as Paul James and Hutch but Jim had a very good last 3 holes to win on count back.
Nearest the pin winners were
Hutch at the 5th
Derek at the 14th
Gerry was cut 2 points Ian and Jim 1 point for sweep purposes only in the remaining matches.
Other notable performances were as follows
Neil Keir 20 points on the front 9 and a incredible 4 on the back 9 to miss the spoon by 2 points !!!!!!
Brian Newell 6 points on the front 9 and 18 on back 9 saved his bacon.
Last years champion Davy Graham with only 29 points is still to hit form and can't be discounted at this early stage.
David Stirling with 32 points had a good steady round and was pleased with his total.
So Gents first game done and dusted and we now move onto Leven Links in a fortnight. As I said today tee off for Leven is 10.00 am. Total cost for golf and a 2 course meal afterwards is £25 less your £10.00 deposit paid today.
