NORMAL service was resumed at Kingarth last Saturday as Winter League competitors took advantage of a break in the weather after three weeks of wind, rain and high tides which covered two of the coastline greens.

And it was also back to normal for two-handicapper Donald Standaloft as he made the most of the benign conditions to return a winning gross 66 for 40 stableford points. Birdies at the fifth, eighth, twelfth, fourteenth and seventeenth, where he put his drive to within four feet of the pin at the 282 yards par four but missed the eagle putt, set Standaloft up for a one-point victory.

Club captain Ian McDougall (15) and John Stewart (22) shared runner-up spot on 39 points with David Bryden (7) next on 35.

Weather permitting, the league competition -- sponsored by Stephen Thomas Financial Services -- continues tomorrow (Saturday) with the usual clubhouse ballot at 8.30am. ------------

THE club's committee of management have their first meeting of 2008 tonight at 7.30pm in St Blane's Hotel, Kilchattan Bay
