May Medal

Those who played in the May Medal on Saturday could have been forgiven for thinking it was still January, with a biting wind and frequent wintry showers making good scores hard to come by. The tough conditions were reflected in the CSS which rose to 72.

In Category One it was David Mackay who deservedly triumphed after recording an excellent score of nett 69. His gross score of 79 gave him the distinction of being one of only two players in the field to break 80, and it earned him a well-deserved handicap reduction. Cammie Ross was the only other player to post a score in the 70s, and his best of the day gross 78 was good enough to take a distant second place on nett 72. Three players, Alistair Gunn, Evan Sutherland and Colin Munro finished a further shot back after carding nett 73s.

Category Two was a closely fought affair with countback required to determine the winner. Danny O’Hagan pipped Tim Hawes to the silverware after both carded rounds of nett 73. Jock Eunson took third place on nett 75, with Willie Williamson fourth following his 78.
