Kilmacolm Golf Club

Our Club Championship weekend saw some outstanding golf from our top players, with our

gents and ladies finals contested by four players all playing off scratch handicaps, it is great to

have such quality golfers amongst us.

The Gents final was played between 12 times champion Andrew Farmer, and joint course record

holder Matthew Clark. Andy aiming to be the first Club Captain to be Club Champion but Matt

shattered his dream by outplaying his opponent and lifting the cup for a 3rd time.

The Ladies final was a family affair with the Briggs sisters doing battle. Reigning champion

Megan Briggs taking on Curtis Cup player and younger sister Eilidh Briggs. This was a real

tussle of a match with Megan sinking a great birdie putt on 16 to retain the Championship for

the 17th year in a row!!

Long time Kilmacolm member Roddy Hammond took on the new boy Les Pirie in the inaugural

Seniors Championship, playing for the Iain Nicolson Cup. With some great play from both men

it was Les who was victorious in the end.

The Junior Final saw a brilliant display of golf by Mackenzie Holmes and Alexander Farmer and

despite Alexander shooting a level par round (5 under his handicap) Mackenzie clinched the

trophy for the 4th year on the trot on the 18th green.

It has been a strange year for our new Professional Stuart Roberts, who joined us in March just

before lockdown, so we were delighted that we could finally hold our first big club event of the

year with our Captains’ / Pro Day. Over 150 members from all sections of the club took part on

a blustery day, but that didn’t affect the golf. We had a hole in one, on the Beat the Pro hole

and the Nearest the Pin, generously sponsored by FW Filshill Ltd. http://Flavourly.com, was

ridiculously close to another hole in one. Thanks to all the generous donations we are delighted

that we raised over £2000 for Down’s Syndrome Scotland on the day.

It has been a fantastic season, and we have welcomed many new members to the club over

the past few months, who have all been enjoying the course and facilities, if you would like to

join us, we have a range of memberships starting from only £500, there’s something to suit

everyone, whether you have time to play throughout the day every day, or if you have work

and family commitments where evenings and weekends suit you better. Visit the website for
