Meadows GC C Level Open

9 August 2025, Meadows

Meadows GC C level was held on on 9.8.25 and once again our Auchincruive friends brought the sunshine with them. It was a great day's competition, but a bit nerve racking as it was all-play-all format and the winner was not clear until the very last match. We saw some great examples of quality play and resilience with a couple of players managing to come back from earlier losses to take wins later in the day. Particular mention to folks for whom this was their first ever tournament - it's great to think that they chose Meadows as their first outing and we hope they will go from strength to strength in the future. Joy Rivett (Auchincruive) took the trophy and the gold medal and Michael Mclachlan (Auchincruive) took the silver medal. It was Michael's first ever tournament! Angela Napuk (Meadows) was 3rd, Martin Howorth (Meadows) 4th, Ian Price (Auchincruive) 5th and Geoff Parsons (Meadows) 6th. Geoff took a win in his first ever tournament and is destined for greater things.

Walker Cup 2025

26 July 2025, Meadows

Sue FraserThe Walker Cup was won this year by Sue Fraser. 

This AC competition is a one day event, open to players with handicaps of 10 and over. Games were 18-point, with a time limit of 1 hour 20 mins. There were 10 entrants and all but two of them completed five rounds by close of play.  Soma was unable to play a fifth game because of work commitments and Catherine also withdrew after four games.  Fortunes fluctuated as the games progressed.  Bruce and Sue each had four wins but Sue narrowly beat Bruce on net points. It was a good day, we all played well and the weather was kind to us.

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)
