Pitreavie hold their challengers
at Cruden Bay with a 63 (-7)
FROM THE SCOTTISH GOLF UNION WEBSITE
Club secretary Eddie Comerford and super-sub partner David Taylor clinched victory at the Belhaven Best Captains & Secretaries Championship (North Final) with a stunning seven-under par 63 amid glorious sunshine at Cruden Bay.
The Fife duo, who arrived at the venue after midnight, dovetailed to perfection to record five gross birdies between them at the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th and 13th holes, as well as net birdies at the 9th and 14th holes.
A delighted Comerford said: “The course was in great condition and we both played well. It was a game of two halves really – most of the back nine were my scores and David played superbly on the front nine.”
“Myself and last year’s captain reached the Belhaven Best final at Blairgowrie in 2007, finishing eighth, so we’re looking forward to challenging for the title in September. We arrived here late last night after a long journey from Dunfermline, but it was very worthwhile.” added the 3-handicapper.
Allan Bantick and Kevin Strathdee, representing Abernethy GC, were pipped into second place after their excellent round of 64. The pairing got off to a great start with Strathdee’s net birdie at their opening hole, the 17th, and a barrage of threes on the back nine gave them the runners-up spot and a place in the Grand Final.
Third place went to Duff House Royal with a four-under par 66, with Eric Wilson and Allan Burns storming home with an inward half of 30. With teams on 67, East Aberdeenshire clinched fourth spot courtesy of their better inward half of 31, edging Ballater and Strathpeffer into fifth and sixth place respectively.
Caledonian GC, also on 3-under par, were in seventh spot whilst eighth place and the final qualifying position fell to Nigg Bay’s Gary Stewart and Gary Thom, whose 2-under par 68 crept in as a result of their inward half of 30. Cathkin Braes, Banchory and Brora were the unfortunate clubs who missed out on a place in the final on the countback.
With just one regional final remaining, captains and secretaries from across Scotland will have their eyes on the Grand Final, which takes place at the plush Murrsayshall Golf & Country Club on Tuesday 16 September.
