Last outing of the season was enjoyed on the superb Goswick Links to where 54 members made the trip over the border to see if they could get their name on The Pitreavie Trophy at the par 72 (36-36) Northumberland course.
Joe Bryce (Bathgate) narrowly missed out in getting his name on a trophy this season but for the fifth time this season managed to gain the top scratch score with a 4 under par 68 (34-34).
Trophy winner was professional Danny Kay of Renaissance Club on 69 (36-33) to earn his second trophy of the season.
While Joe missed out on silverware, he secured top handicap prize with his net 71 ( 68 +3 hdp) and Danny secured top scratch prize.


The Handicap Order of Merit was decided and George Wither (Liberton) jumped
 ahead of Willie Laing (Prestonfield) to claim top spot for the season in a very close 
race.
 Final results were -
1. George Wither (Liberton) - 180.00
2. Willie Laing (Prestonfield) - 177.5
3. Brian Thomson (Kilspindie  -177.0

Scratch Order of Merit will be decided next week at the Annual 
Championship at Gullane where double points will be up for grabs at the
 36-hole event.
The top six remain in the same order so an exciting conclusion awaits.
 The position is - 
1. Ross Munro (Golf Clubs 4 Cash) - 622.0
2. Joe Bryce (Bathgate) - 599.5
3. Craig Surgeon (Newbattle) - 586.0
4 Simon Lockhart (Bathgate) - 554.0
