Renfrewshire boys defeat Glasgow
Renfrewshire boys golf team beat the team from Glasgow Golf Union at Haggs Castle Golf Club
on Sunday, June 23 by 5 matches to 3.
This continues
the good start they had to this season when they defeated Dunbartonshire 8 -
0 in May at Ranfurly Castle G.C.
The course was in
good condition, but comments from all of the boys said that the greens were
slow and inconsistent at times, but this was a reflection on the variable early
season weather
The Renfrewshire team
showed a number of changes from the previous match, with some players unavailable
while others were available.
Drew Cleaver set
the team off to a good start when in a very tight game he eventually won on the
last hole against a very stubborn opponent, maintaining his 100% record.
Ewan Urquhart was
always behind and 3 down with 4 to play won the next 3 holes only to run out of
steam and went down by 2 holes.
Mac Holmes, never
down until the 16th lost 2/1thanks to great golf by his opponent
over the next 2 holes.
John Jack was a
comfortably winner against an opponent not at this level, but a prospect for the
future.
Harry Kellock
always seemed to be in charge of his game, but every time won a hole, he lost
the next but eventually closed out the game at the 17th.
Johnny Greig got
of to a poor start but came good, then found himself 3 down with 3 to play and
despite a valiant effort on 18 failed to repeat his great escape on the
previous game and lost at the last.
In the final 2
games, Cameron Percy and Roddy McAuley who last week contested the final of the
RGU Boys Match Play Championship were always in control of their matches despite
a slight wobble by Cameron over the closing holes, but both ran out winners in
the end
The match, as
always, was again played in a very sporting manner
