Scott goes solo!

2009-10-04T09:13:53Z

Lochmaben club member Kenny Scott reached the national finals of the Daily Telegraph 4BBB match play after overcoming a Ranfurly Castle pair at Lochmaben last Sunday.Kennys regular partner brother Barry, was unfortunately on holiday and the opposition would not move the date, which meant Kenny played against both, ably assisted by caddie Barry McKenzie. A tight match ensued with Kenny overcoming the Ranfurly side at the 19th hole
Kenny now plays in the final at Leven Links on October 23rd, by which time Barry will be suitably refreshed and able to team up - if Kenny needs him!!

Best wishes go to both players for the national final, with the winners heading for sunny Portugal for the Grand Finals.

Baggy drops out!

2009-10-01T21:20:08Z

One less competitor for the recently played prestigious Lennox Trophy was last years club Champion Ainsley Bagnall, suffering cracked ribs two days before the event after falling from a plum tree. Baggy was not to be denied his day in the sun however, and was on hand to carry out supporting duties for his brother (aka Baggy) and dog walking duties for the Graham family, bar takings were also well up on the day!!

Get Well Soon Baggy!!

Picture shows that at least one Baggy made it to the Lennox!!

Course improvement phase 2

2009-09-28T13:41:37Z

Work has started this week(28th September) on the remaining greens requiring the “drill and fill” treatment. Following the very successful works that were carried out last winter, the programme has been scheduled earlier this year to allow time for grass seed to germinate and establish before winter weather stalls growth. An encouraging number of volunteers have been recruited to help with the works, and thanks go to everyone involved in the project for their time and efforts. Members should be made aware that these works have priority on the course and your patience is greatly appreciated.
We can now look forward to all greens being slick and smooth next season.
Any members who wish to help out with this project please contact Billy Campbell (Greens Convener)
