GC Handicap 2025
28-29 June 2025, Knightswood
With the sun bursting through the Glasgow skies in typical June manner ten players assembled to play the SCA GC handicap event. The players hailed from Edinburgh, Auchincruive and Glasgow.
The event was organised as a single block with round robin play which meant nine rounds of play and, if need be, a final (not required). Five games were played on the Saturday and by the end of the first day the manager, Brian Durward, was ahead with five straight wins, one game going to the fourth golden hoop.
Play on Sunday (23°C) saw Durward thumped by Eoin McCrossan and again by Emma Jamie. Both Emma and Eoin continued to play well and by the ninth round both were on seven wins. Given that Eoin had beaten Emma in a previous round he was declared the outright winner.
This event was enjoyed by all who took part and most managed to deal with the novelty Hoop 3 on Lawn 2 which had been excavated by a fox on Saturday night.
Many thanks to Kathy Brown for acting as the ROT.
Brian Durward (Manager)
