Sporting
gesture by Bellbaxters Montgomerie helps Madras win
A sporting gesture by
Bellbaxters Jackie Montgomerie helped Madras win back the FP match trophy from
Bellbaxter played at Ladybank Golf Club on Tuesday 17th September.
Madras FP turned up for
the match one player short after a late call off, however Montgomerie who was
just returning to golf following an injury volunteered to step down from the
singles and therefore did not claim the single point from Madras’s missing player.
As a result of this gesture Madras prevailed 8 games to 7 in the annual
fixture.
The match was close
throughout the day, the morning 4 ball better ball games were tied at 2 points
each. Bellbaxter went ahead by one point following the greensomes.
However Madras dominated
the singles winning 4.5 to 2.5 to take the overall match 8 points to 7.
This was the fourth
playing of the match and the series in now tied at 2 matches each.
“we are delighted to
have taken the trophy back off our rivals and are looking forward to the 5th
anniversary match next year. Our thanks goes out to Ladybank Golf Club who were
excellent hosts for the match” said Madras FP Captain Mike Braidwood after the
match.
