Strokeplay Championship


The Strokeplay Championship reached its conclusion in the first week of July, with Dougie Thorburn emerging victorious in the scratch standings with a four round aggregate score of 286. Plus one handicapper Thorburn is enjoying a prolific first season at Reay, and his rounds of 70, 73, 73 and 70 were good enough to win by a margin of 10 strokes from Gavin Sutherland. Sutherland was in contention following the first two rounds, but a disappointing 77 in round three put paid to his chances.
The handicap prize went to the wire, with a number of players in contention going in to the final round. In the end it was Groves who clinched the win with a fine final round of nett 68 giving him a tally of 280. Runner-up was defending champion Donald Mowat on 283, a score shared by Murray McGlasson. Lee Parnell and Sutherland finished a stroke further back on 284.
