The competitors also include Sandy Pirie (Hazlehead) 

himself, Gordon MacDonald (Glenbervie), who was still good 

enough to have won the Senior match-play hampionship at 

Stirling in July and Jim Kinloch (Cardross), winner of the 

over-65 equivalent.

All competitors are looking forward to tackling the 

picturesque Boat of Garten course which is widely regarded 

as one of the hidden gems of Scottish golf.
