Donald Campbell Open

Reay Golf Club hosted the Donald Campbell Open on Sunday with some excellent scores posted in showery conditions. Winner of the handicap trophy was David Mackay following a superb round of 76 which gave him a nett score off 66. After an outward half of 40 Mackay played some very steady golf to cover the back nine in 36 which included a run of eight consecutive pars from the 10th.

Jimmy Meiklejohn of Thurso took second place after posting a score of 74 for his nett 67. His halves of 35 and 39 included two birdies at the 3rd and 15th holes. Alistair Gunn took third place finishing a stroke further back courtesy of his round of nett 68.

The scratch trophy was won by Dougie Thorburn after he carded a level par round of 69. After a shaky start, a birdie at the 5th helped him to reach the turn in 36. Further birdies at the 13th and 14th contributed to a storming back nine of 33 which was enough to win by a margin of five shots.

Ian A. Mackay posted the best score in Category Two with a topsy-turvy round of 87 giving him a nett score of 70. A birdie at the 15th was the highlight of his day.
