MAGNERS SCOTTISH CLUB 2006 FINAL
ALL ROADS LEAD TO MACDONALD CARDRONA ON FRIDAY
The final of 2006 Magners Scottish Club Golfers Championship takes place at the Macdonald Cardrona Golf, Hotel & Country Club this Friday (15 September), with one hundred and twenty club golfers battling it out for the Scottish Golf Union’s flagship handicap prize.
From an initial entry of more than 23,000 golfers who played in local qualifying competitions across 286 clubs, last month’s four regional qualifying finals have produced sixty pairings who have the honour of representing their clubs in the national final.
Balmore Golf Club from Dunbartonshire will start among the favourites for the title, following their emphatic victory in the first regional final, with Gordon Campbell and Scott Chisholm firing a seven-under par 63 at Lanark. East Lothian duo Law Hardie and Michael Sinclair (The Glen GC) enjoyed the best round of the regional finals, recording an eleven-under par 61 to clinch the Forrester Park event and they will be hoping for more of the same in the Borders on Friday.
Host club Alyth won the third regional final with local members Scott Brough and partner John Quither dove tailing well to shoot a 64, seven under the card, whilst Aberdeen’s Nigg Bay, represented by Ryan Elder and Gary Thom took the honours when the Championship visited Murcar Links for the last regional final.
The Magners Scottish Club Golfers Championship is the country’s biggest participation golf event and part of the SGU’s commitment to supporting clubs and providing national championships for golfers at all levels.
Magners Irish Cider’s Marketing Manager, Joanne Hayden has been delighted with the response to their first championship in Scotland:
“The popularity of the new championship adds to the growing profile of our brand in the Scottish golf club market. The event provides golfers from across Scotland with a great opportunity to compete in a prestigious national event, whether they are a scratch golfer or high handicapper. It’s important to Magners that everyone has that chance.”
The action gets underway at 8.00am on the 6,856 yard Cardrona championship course, with the final tee-time at 12.50pm. Competing clubs range from Colvend in the south to Tarbat near Tain in the north of the country, whilst the handicap spread is from plus one right up to twenty four.
