Hamish Duguid Handicap Weekend

19-20 September 2020, Balgreen and Meadows

Stefan Colling from Glasgow won the Hamish Duguid weekend with a total of five wins – only Roger Binks managed to defeat him in a very close game at Balgreen on Sunday. The format of the weekend was dictated by the need for social distancing and Covid-19 rules were strictly enforced by the Meadows and Balgreen Covid officers. Sixteen players were divided into four blocks on the Saturday with the block winners progressing to Block A on the Sunday, the players coming second progressing to Block B and so on. Stefan and John Owen both had two wins in Block A but Stefan’s superior net points won him the bottle of wine, presented by Janice Duguid, and a well deserved handicap reduction to 9.

Basil Townsend Quaich 2020

1 August 2020, Auchincruive

On a fairly sunny, windy, but midge-free and rain-free day, four clubs competed for the Basil Townsend Quaich: Auchincruive (Kevin Wright), Edinburgh (David Fell), Glasgow (Stefan Colling) and Meadows (John Campbell). The competition was played over three rounds of 18-point handicap AC on the Auchincruive lawn under socially distanced guidelines.

This was a fairly close competition and going into the third round, three of the players could still win it.  After the final round, Auchincruive, Edinburgh and Glasgow had all won two games and lost one, but Glasgow (Stefan) was the overall winner as he had a much better hoop difference, mainly due to him playing his bisques to great effect in his game against Kevin, and making an 8-hoop break! So well done to Glasgow and Stefan! Despite social distancing a pleasant day was had by all.

Golf Croquet Handicap 2019

16 June 2019, Meadows

The event was played at the Meadows Croquet Club. Fortunately the anticipated rain kept off and it turned out to be ideal weather for playing croquet. There were only four entrants: Brian Cosford (6), Tom Dewar (6), Bruce Bennet (6) and Rachel Frith (11). This was disappointing and next year we must make more of an effort to ensure that GC players who are not SCA members are aware of this tournament and encouraged to enter.

As there were only four players everyone played everyone twice. We played six games, finishing at about 3.30 pm. There was some excellent play and several remarkable flukes such as running hoops one and two with one shot. As everyone had three wins the overall winner was decided on net points.
