After nearly 2 years in the golfing wilderness with no prizes to his name, Reay’s Colin Munro came roaring back to life to win Category 1 of the June medal over the sun-soaked links on Saturday. Munro signalled his intentions early with a birdie at the tough 1st hole and he maintained this early momentum with another birdie at the 4th following a splendid pitch-in. Reaching the turn in 37 Munro continued to play steady golf until the 15th where a disastrous out-of bounds approach shot led to an ugly 7. However, Munro steadied himself to birdie the 15th and 17th holes to come home in 38 for a nett 66. Losing out on count-back after also scoring nett 66 was the in form Ian Ross. Ross has been at the top of the leaderboard on a number of occasions recently and he compiled another very steady round with halves of 38 and 39. Taking the final place on the category 1 podium was John O’Brien with a nett 67. O’Brien’s round was one of very contrasting halves after a disappointing outward 40 was soon forgotten with an inward half of 33 which included birdies at the 12th, 13th and 16th holes.
In Category 2 Willie Williamson also made a welcome return to the winner’s enclosure with a nett 68 following a solid round. Williamson’s inward nine was marginally better than Willie Allan who finished in 2nd place on count-back following his own nett 68. The evergreen Keith Buxton took 3rd place in Category 2 with a fine round of nett 70.
On Sunday Reay hosted the inaugural Gleeds Walk On Open. Top of the class following a fabulous nett 65 was Thurso player David Dunbar. Dunbar produced halves of 34 and 36 with a solitary birdie coming at the par 4 8th hole. Dunbar’s nett 65 was good enough to pip Ian Ritchie to second place on nett 66, with Grant Maxwell a further shot back. Category 2 was won by Gregor Munro following another spectacular round of nett 63. Munro’s handicap has come tumbling down in recent weeks, and he has secured another cut following his victory. Four shots back in second and third places were Willie Allan and Ian Sutherland respectively.
