FORMER gamekeeper Bobby Gordon was on target for his best round of the season last Saturday when he shot a 61 to win the July medal second class by a comfortable five shots. The 79-year-old rolled back the years to produce the leading net score of the day playing off 21. Club captain Ian McDougall (17) had to settle for runner-up spot with 66 while Leonard Ferguson (18), winner of the June medal, was third on 67. There was a three-way tie in first class with Duncan Speirs (7), David Bryden (9) and George Cuthbertson (10) all on 66. Speirs took top place with a better inward half. The competition scratch score was 63.

David Bryden, on a 394 tally, leads the way in the challenge for the Alex Speirs Memorial Cup with four counting competitions remaining. He is 10 shots clear of last year's winner John Kernaghan on 406, with Jim McKirdy next on 408 and George Cuthbertson on 415. The trophy goes to the player with the six best scores from 12 designated competitions.

The annual mixed competition for the Hume Ferguson Cup will be held tonight (Friday) over nine holes at Kingarth. Participants are asked to be at the clubhouse at 6.30pm.
