Cowglen chasing record fourth club title
NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY SCOTTISH GOLF UNION
Glasgow club Cowglen will travel north to the Highlands this weekend (Sunday 26 September) in search of a record fourth Scottish Club Championship title Fortrose and Rosemarkie.
Cowglen has become synonymous with the event having recorded three victories in its 25-year history, collecting the trophy in 1988, 1989 and again in 2006. Having qualified as the leading club in the Glasgow Golf Union, they have the chance to overhaul rivals Cochrane Castle, who have also won the title on three occasions. Cowglen are represented in Sunday’s final by Graham Fleming, Chris Wedgeworth and Neil McBride.
Hoping to join Cowglen on three Championship wins are Tulliallan, the Clackmannanshire champions who have reached the final again, having won the title in both 1999 and as hosts in 2002. Their trio is made up of Gordon Lyons, Steven Horne and Mark Crichton.
St Andrews will be aiming to go one better than their runner-up finish to Prestwick last year, while former Scottish Amateur Champion Glenn Campbell heads a strong Blairgowrie challenge looking for their second win in the event nine years on from their victory in North Berwick.
Lothians’ representatives are Carrickvale and their side features Craig Elliot and Allyn Dick, both former Scottish Mid-Amateur Champions. Dick has enjoyed a superb season, winning the Newlands Trophy and reaching the last 16 of the Allied Surveyors Scottish Amateur Championship, before earning his first Scotland cap at last month’s Home Internationals in Wales and he will be hoping to round of the year with a first Scottish Club Championship win for his side.
Other clubs in the line-up are Selkirk (Borders), Gourock (Renfrewshire), Powfoot (South), Windyhill (Dumbartonshire), Murcar Links (North East), Glenbervie (Stirlingshire), Loudon Gowf (Ayrshire), Crow Wood (Lanarkshire), Ballumbie Castle (Angus) and Moray (North).
Sixteen clubs are represented from Areas across Scotland, with the two best scores from each team of three counting, played over 36 holes in one day. The winners of the championship qualify to represent Scotland in the European Club Championship.
This will be host club Fortrose and Rosmarkie’s second national championship of the season, having staged the Scottish Ladies’ Golfing Association’s Senior Ladies Championship earlier in the summer.
