Elderslie Golf Club was the venue for the Abbeycare Foundation Caven and Menzies Trophies. This annual event is the Junior and Youth Stroke Play Championships played over 36 holes.
In the Caven Trophy – boys under 18 – Darren Jones from the home course set the morning pace with an excellent 71 and had a three-shot cushion over his nearest rival at that point – Riccardo Dimurro from Greenock.
The afternoon round changed everything quite dramatically. First, David Docherty from Bonnyton recorded 72 for an aggregate of 150 followed by Ranfurly Castle’s Greg Paterson whose 74 also made a total of 150.
Darren Jones slumped to 79 – also for the same total. What looked like a count back for the places was avoided when Josh Bogle, also from Ranfurly Castle, added the best score of the day – an almost flawless 70 – for a total of 146 and his first trophy of the season.
County selectors were out on the course and there is little doubt that Josh and the other challengers will be hearing from them.
The first points in the under 14 Order of Merit were gained by Paul Dorrian of Greenock and Cochrane Castles’ Colin Edgar.
Turning to the Menzies Trophy – youths up to age 23 – it was Alistair Lauder from Paisley and Renfrew’s Jordan Grant who set the morning standard with scores of 70 and 72 respectively. The afternoon saw some excellent golf with three scores of 69 recorded by Sam Binning (Ranfurly Castle) to temporarily head the leader board on 143, Darryn Grant (Renfrew) for an aggregate of 145 and Bryan Robertson – also from Renfrew – whose excellent round was in marked contrast to his morning round of 89!
The question was – would Alistair Lauder hold it together in the second round, needing a score of 72 to take the trophy. Indeed he could and his aggregate of 142 over a tricky course was an excellent performance.
