Very sorry to have to report the death of ex Captain and golf club stalwart Jock Easson on Sunday morning, I believe. Jock did a great deal of good for the Club over the years, both on and off the course, driving the tractor, cutting the rough, generally helping out, and latterly boosting the bar takings with his Saturday lunch time visits. I’m sure the members will all join with me in offering our sincere condolences to his wife Kate and son Mark at this sad news, and difficult time. You will be missed Jock.
46 Entries this week and I had to put half of them in by hand because the ipad crashed. I’m not apportioning any blame for this but the last entry on the system before the damn thing went t**s up belonged to Dante Brugnoni. Just saying. It was just as well the Clark family were there to resurrect the system, although it took young Sam to come up with the solution beloved by all computer experts. Turn it off and back on again.
The winner this week was Scott Galloway, by virtue of a bih,with that man Ian Potts again, in second place, both on 41 points,and El Presidente in third also by bih, from Hibernian Football Club’s greatest fan Norman Purves in fourth place on 36 points .Honourable mention goes to Jordan Reid who also had 36 points but gets nothing. Sorry Jordan! There were five 2’s who get a huge £4 each. They were Billy Macdonald, that man again Ian Potts, Billy Walton, Ron Robertson and me. The hole in one fund is now £70 and Donald’s trousers still remain unsullied and indeed still unworn.
The draw for the Club Championship,and B and C Championships will take place after the round next Saturday. Please tick your names on the board if available as soon as you can.Thank you
