Bute Golf Club

JIM McKIRDY was celebrating a return to trophy-winning form last Saturday when he lifted the McAlister Tankard at Kingarth. The 12-handicapper finished six up in the bogey competition thanks mainly to a solid first nine of one-over-par 35. John Stewart (23) produced his best form of the season with five up but had to settle for runner-up spot while John Kernaghan (13), Duncan Speirs (6) and Bobby Speirs (13) were all on four up. The Competition Scratch Score was 63.

There is silverware at stake again tomorrow (Saturday) when members compete for the Kingarth Trophy in the annual major stableford competition with the usual ballot at the clubhouse at 8.30am.

The first tee will also be reserved from 12 noon until 1.15pm tomorrow to accommodate a visiting party.

The final round of the M & M Trophy takes place at Kingarth next Wednesday. In addition to the usual awards, competitors have a chance to win, among other prizes, a free four-ball at Machrihanish as the Bute club launches its Calum’s Cabin fund-raiser.

Play will begin at 8.00am with the last tee-off time at 7.00pm.

Draw sheets for the club’s three match-play tournaments are now on display in the clubhouse and members are urged to have ties completed by the stipulated dates.
