Gordon Campbell and Scott Chisholm from Balmore Golf Club are the 2006 Magners Scottish Club Golfers Champions after firing a superb nine-under par round of 63 at a sunny Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Country Club on Friday.
The pairing were one of the favourites for the final, having also shot a 63 to win the regional qualifying final at Lanark.
Birdies at the fourth and seventh sandwiched a superb eagle at the sixth and a 2 from Campbell at the ninth put them in charge with an outward half of 31.
Another eagle, at the long 12th, put them to seven under par for the day and further birdies at 14 and an excellent 3 at the last gave them their winning net total of 63.
“Wow. What a great feeling.” Said Campbell. “It was a real team effort at the final today, as well as at Lanark in the regional event. We’ll be the envy of the golf club, although no doubt we’ll take some flack for all the publicity we’ll be getting”, added Chisholm, having been presented with the trophy from Scotland rugby legend and former British Lion Craig Chalmers.
Fife’s Burntisland clinched the runners-up spot with a great seven under par round of 65, with the two Davids – Galloway and MacPherson – dovetailing well.
