West win SJGT team event at Elmwood

FROM WALTER BURNS

Scottish Junior Golf Tour

Over the next few months we are going to trial some different formats on the Scottish Junior Golf Tour. Yesterday at Elmwood  was “Three Way Match-play”. In this format the juniors are playing two simultaneous matches. They play both individually and as part of a team.

West won the team event with an average of 2.6 holes up. East and Central were second with 2 holes up.

Andrew Thompson ( Lanark) won the individual event with an average of 6 holes up. Ian Taggart (Lenzie) was second with an average of 5 holes up.

Jack Brown (Belleisle) won the skills challenges.

This match-play style certainly made for a more interesting day with a lot of close matches and everyone having something to play for right to the very end.
