Successful Seniors Championship at Hamilton

Lanarkshire staged a very successful Seniors Handicap Championship yesterday at Hamilton Golf Club. The tournament looked in doubt early on due to rain and flooding but a change in the weather and good fortune meant 134 senior golfers enjoyed their annual Championship.

Thanks to Hamilton Golf Club greenstaff who were on hand all day to keep the course open. Hamilton avoided the worst of the rain in the neighbouring areas and all the

competitors praised the excellent condition of the course.

Main winners were Walter A Stewart of Easter Moffat with a scratch 70  and Harry McNeil of Easter Moffat with a nett 61 off a handicap of 11.
