On Saturday 23 July 2016, South Juniors entertained Northumberland Juniors to a Northern Counties Federation league match at Southerness Golf Club. With the course in immaculate condition and the dull, windless weather conditions everything was set for some wonderful golf by two evenly matched teams. Mitchell Cowie (D&C) and Cameron Gray (Kirkudbright) led the South team off in the morning foursomes. They were two up after 7 holes, pegged back to all square after 11, regained their two hole lead by the 14th but again lost their two hole lead to finish all square. Angus Bendall (Castle…
This annual stroke play team competition between the three counties of Dumfriesshire, Kirkcudbrightshire and Wigtownshire took place at Kirkcudbright Golf Club on Thursday 21 July 2016. The weather was sunny intervals and the course was in perfect condition The teams consisted of 6 players from each County with 4 scores to count. Despite the perfect golfing conditions only 5 players had a scratch score of under 80 which was disappointing considering the golfing talent on show. The best score was returned by Finlay Copland (D&G) with 75, followed closely on 76 by Thomas Robinson (D&G), David Sharp…
The South Junior team travelled to Seascale on Tuesday 19 July to play the return match in the Northern Counties League looking for revenge for their earlier defeat at Kirkcudbright. The links course was in excellent condition and the weather forecast was for the warmest day of the year so far The boy’s golf bags were bursting with the number of bottles of water and other liquids to keep the possibility of hydration at bay. What an introduction to the three new boys making their debuts. They must have thought all South matches were played in Spain!…
The top eight players in the Stroke Play Championship gathered again at Kirkcudbright Golf Club on Wednesday 13 July to compete in the Match Play Championship. The weather this time was more favourable with sunny intervals and a brisk breeze coming off the sea and with the course in magnificent condition some good matches were expected. Nathan Watson (Kirkcudbright), the stroke play champion, was first off against the young and up-and-coming David Sharp (D&C). David played very well from tee to green but could not get the putts to drop. He never gave up and fought to…
On a typical Scottish summer’s day which started overcast and misty, turned to rain for 3 hours over lunchtime then as the heavy clouds rolled away the boys playing in the South Junior Championships experienced weak sunny intervals. Kirkcudbright Golf Course, which was in excellent condition, played host to fourteen boys – a very poor turnout in quantity but not as it was to turn out, in quality. In the first round of the 36 hole championship scores were very close with Mitchell Cowie (D&C) and Callum McMillan (Kirkcudbright) shooting 73. Mitchell started with a bogey but…
The first four events have taken place in the South of Scotland Order of Merit. David Brodie (Wigtown & Bladnoch) has got off to a flying start winning Wigtownshire County Stroke Play and Match Play Championships, the JAL Brown Trophy at Portpatrick and being the top local player in the Southerness Challenge. It is already becoming a two-horse race with Michael Grunwell (D&G), who has also been playing well, but so far has been unable to produce the form of David. These two are well ahead in the Order of Merit but there are still a lot…
