Winter Foursomes Final at Killermont
Sunday 24th March 2024
PC Robin Crawford & Neil Gennoe (R&N) (Receiving 5shots)
v Alan Wood & David Clayton (A&D)
The Winter Foursomes Finalists were rewarded with sunny Spring-like weather for their big day.
After breakfast and the pre-match photos with the Captain, Finalists and Caddies, Robin and David had the honour of Driving their teams off in the Final. Robin then nervelessly slotted a 12 footer for birdie and the dream start.
The next excitement came at the 4th. Robin was at it again - right-hand edge of the green - he canned a downhill 20 footer. David undeterred on the same line, half the distance, followed him in.
A net birdie at the 5th for (R&N) and with a shot at the 6th they went 3UP.
A par at the 7th and then a birdie putt from Alan at the 8th and (A&D) we’re back in it just 1DOWN. Remaining 1DOWN at the turn.
A&D we’re on a role - wins at 10 & 11 - they were 1UP. Short lived (R&N) won the 12th with a shot - their last one. Neil’s lovely chip dead at the 14th restored the (R&N) lead (1UP).
Halves at 15 &16. At the 17th, David’s beautifully lagged long putt from the front edge earned (A&D) a par to take it down the 18th - All Square.
Two 5s at the 18th and we were back down the first.
A par down the first saw Robin & Neil win an excellent final. Commiserations Alan and David who hardly put a foot wrong.
All sat down to lunch and soon the battle scars were healed, in the relaxing atmosphere of the Campsie Suite on a lovely Sunny Sunday afternoon - what a great facility.
Presentation of the Trophy and Photos followed - an event remembered forever by the Finalists and enjoyed by all who contributed.
