A very successful event with 148 particpants playing in glorious sunshine. To see list of winners click here
Scottish veterans are a hardy bunch and this was demonstrated fully today as our Veterans Open went ahead despite persistent rain. After a delayed start the course coped very well indeed and our thanks go to the greens staff for working so hard to get the event on and not disappoint our visitors from all over the country. At the end of a long day our own Boyd Houston produced the round of the season to score 82-18-64 after starting with a 7 to win by 6 shots..
Pictured with the John Pettigrew Cup is winner Boyd flanked by our Captain Ian Barker and John Pettigrew who also took charge of scoring for his own event!.

After a dull and wet start the weather gods were kind to a full field in our Mixed Open for the Mitchell Trophy. Many compliments were received regards the condition of the course and thanks to all who worked hard to ensure the day went well, especially our President Chris Page. Pictured are Scratch Winners, R&M Jamieson of Tillicoultry with Captain Ian Barker..
Given the forecast you wouldn't have got any odds on our Senior Open going ahead and finishing but that is precisely what we managed today.
It turned out mist on the highest part of Arndean was the biggest danger but thankfully that didn't last long and some sterling work by the greenstaff on 15th ensured we completed the open. The afternoon players got the best of the weather but congratulations go to one of the early starters R Edrich from Haddington who won the overall event with 80-13-67. Another early starter, our own Cameron Ferguson scooped the scratch prize with a superb 72.
Unfortunately we suffered a number of late call offs due more to the forecast than the actual weather, but we are grateful to the 90 players who turned up and played some great stuff, with many compliments from our visitors on how well the course coped with the weather and how good and true the greens were.
