Fifteen golfer played for the 18 Hole Trophy at Glenluce. The day started with an unexpected shower of rain and then turned out to be a rather fine day. Winner on the day was Wave Tyrrell with 36 points with a better inward half from Ian Brown.
The competition brought a premature end to the season on account of the Coronavirus. The competition was played with gimmies to avoid touching flag sticks. The remaining fixtures were cancelled; the second round of the 36 Hole Trophy, the Alan Walker Trophy and the final Winter League and lunch.
Winner of the Winter League is Dave Aitken with 185 points, Marena second on 180 and Ian Brown third with 177 points.
It has been a brutal 2020 with only two leagues played owing to an exceptionally wet period from the start of the year up to this point in our season that has been curtailed by the coronavirus stopping the remaining leagues.
Golfer may take part for the rest of the season playing on Thursdays but not convening in the Clubhouse.
