Club Championship and June Medal
Posted on 04/06/2010 12:01
It was a wonderful day for golf: 23 degrees, sunny and still. We had a decent turnout of 20 players for the Club Championship and most agreed that this year the competition was wide open. 84 was even tipped as a possible winning score and Ian Tasker won the event with just that. His nett score of 74 was also good enough to win Group A of the June medal. Well done to Ian, he has long been one of the club's steadiest golfers and is a worthy winner of the beautiful 'Brown Challenge Medal'. The medal shows a golfer striking the ball one-handed in what appears to a fit of rage. Nothing could be less like the placid Mr Tasker, whose cries of 'NO! IAN!' can be heard throughout Irvine on a golf day. Congratulatons also to Ernie Bolton who had the best nett score with a 73 to win Group B. Despite the perfect day the scoring was high, not least because the greens are only slowly recovering from being encased in a sheet of ice for two months, followed by a prolonged dry spell that shows no sign of ending. No-one cut, others in the buffer zone were Grant Hood (77), Vincent McGlinchey (NR but 73 adjusted), Ian Montgomery (75) and Raymond Shek (75).




Spring Arrives at Bogside and…
Posted on 06/05/2010 18:30
….same old rubbish from our members. OK, the greens are still recovering from a harsh winter but the weather was benign. Most of us harboured high hopes of getting a score in. Once again, the course reminded us who's the boss. One player, Alastair Wilson, beat 90 with a gross 89 (nett 79). Ernie Bolton returned the best nett with a 75 and really the only 'steady' card. Paul Biondi was the only other player to break 80 with a 78. Half the players NR'd and the average gross score for the remainder was 97! But it was fun, boys, wasn't it? Oh, and another rollover for the Twos: I'll need Group 4 next time to bring the sweep. Well done Ernie and Alastair. CSS 75, reductions only. May 20th the next qualifier, see you then.




Honours Even in Cellar Club Match
Posted on 26/04/2010 11:04
The annual friendly against The Cellar Club ended all square, meaning that St Mungo as holders retain the trophy. The Cellar Club managed to round up more players than usual so that, rather than having to lend them a player or two to make up the numbers, an extra game was added. 7 fourballs and the result was 3½ - 3½. Conditions were fine and a very enjoyable event, thanks to Captains Ross Baillie and Grant Hood and all the players. See you in the bar…




Birdies Grounded by Icelandic Volcano!
Posted on 15/04/2010 19:29
Normally St Mungo members can handle any conditions and still return scores somewhere in the region of 100. Today, however, a freak of nature (no, not him!) caused some of our scores to go through the roof. The eruption of Eyjafjallajokull (a sound I thought I detected several times on the course, but louder) not only caused airports to close throughout Scotland but also was the only rational explanation for the poor scores returned in the James Barclay competiton. However only 8 NR's showed a certain determination (or courage, to submit cards like that!!). The winner was Alastair Wilson with a Nett 74. The high CSS of 75 reflected the poor scoring of most. Paul Biondi and Ian Montgomery came in with 75's and were cut after adjustment. The only other players to avoid handicap increases were Andy Auld, Ross Baillie and David Birrell who all NR'd but were in The Buffer Zone (and probably still are, celebrating). Well done to Alastair, and thanks.




All Fools Medal
Posted on 01/04/2010 17:42
So the course made April Fools of most of us today. Fergus however played exactly to his handicap to return a Nett 72 and comfortably win the Medal and our Group A prize. David Birrell, not long out of hibernation, also played well to return a 76 and thereby win the Group B's prize. Well done to both! The only other score in the 70's was Jim Dunlop with a 78. Three of us got the wrong side of a hundred (aye, gross) and 7 NR'd out of a field of 15. Wind was the usual problem but it was only a gale. Greens were the main challenge: fast, and holes all seemed to be on wicked little slopes. Wind and gravity did the rest. A lot of 3 puts reported. Fortunately, yours truly escaped before they had finished building the gallows. Rules are rules, boys, it was a counter! CSS was 75; Fergus was cut; two in the buffer zone and everyone else up. Ouch! Two weeks to get ready for the next comp, the James Barclay Trophy.




St Mungo Quaich
Posted on 28/03/2010 14:43
The annual Bogey competition took place on Thursday 25th March with players competing for the generously proportioned St Mungo Quaich (I can see why he was made the patron saint of Glasgow, as the Quaich makes even quarter gills look stingy!). We obviously don't play enough bogey competitions as there was a bit of confusion about the format. There was never much doubt about the winner, though: Bogside beat all comers as usual. The best of the losers was Hugh Wilson, 1 down. Historical note: Dumbarton won the St Mungo Quaich in 1951, beating Ayr United 2-1. Funny game, golf.




March 18th Competition
Posted on 21/02/2010 09:51
Someone had the bright idea of making the competition a 'counter', played off the yellow tees. The thinking was that this would give members a gentle introduction to the season. Not to be. It blew a hoolie and scoring was high, too high as it happened so all survived with their handicaps intact. Which is more than can be said for yours truly, whose bright idea it was! Anyway congrats to Roy Sharpe and Iain Garrett for surviving the ordeal to score 73. And to John Tait who won the 2's competition with a birdie at the 8th.
