SENIOR GOLF
Tulliallan’s Bob Stewart continues to make headlines and in his own words “playing some of his best golf ever”. In the Midland Alliance events, he continues to outshine the professionals--- in the latest competition at Forfar; he was one of the three amateurs scoring brilliant 66’s, and must be among the top “money” voucher winner so far this season. Bob also had the best handicap score off his one handicap at 65, but like all golf competitions you can only win one prize!!
In the final event of the Scottish Seniors Golfing Society held over the Lansdowne course at Blairgowrie, he lifted himself into 4th position in the 2009 Senior Order of Merit with a score of 72—tying for best of the day..
Bob is also to be congratulated on being selected again for the Seniors Home International team competing at Westport Golf Club in Ireland for the 2009 title.
