SPECIAL CUP GLORY: Winner Ian McCauley is presented with the competition trophy by centenary captain Dan McAulay at the club.
THE Whinhill Golf Club recently held a nine hole three-club challenge competition as part of the club's centenary celebrations.
This added a fun and enjoyable event into the competition calendar.
This competition was played regularly in the early days of the club's existence, with the centenary season a fitting year to bring it back into the fixture list.
The winner of the competition was Ian McCauley with a nett score of 30.5 - two-and-a-half under his handicap.
Ian who was playing off 5.5, half of his 11 handicap, returned a far better scratch score for nine holes than he did the day previous while playing with a full set of clubs.
Gus Dalgleish took second place with a nett score of 32.
Third place went to Stephen Donald, the lowest handicap golfer in the field, who returned the best scratch score of the day - a two over par 35 for a nett score of 33.
David Adams and Mitchell Ogilby were the only two competitors to return Magic '2's' despite Mr Adams not having a putter as part of his selection of three clubs.
Congratulations go to Ian and to all who took part in the competition. This was the first playing of the competition and as it was enjoyed by all. It will continue to be a golfing and social fixture in the calendar for years to come.
The Whinhill Golf Club would like to thank honorary nember Jim Gallagher for donating the centenary nine hole three-club challenge trophy.
Results: 1st - Ian McCauley (5.5) 30.5; 2nd - Angus Dalgleish (7) 32; 3rd - Stephen Donald (2) 33.
