A NET 62 gave Jim McKirdy victory in the annual Captain's Day competition at Kingarth on Saturday. The 12-handicapper finished one shot clear of second-placed Gordon Pettigrew (7) who scored 63, with David Bryden (9) and John McLaren (14) joint third on 64.

Club captain Ian McDougall later played host to the competitors at St Blane's Hotel where he presented the various awards. Vice-captain John Bunyan thanked the captain for his generosity. The competition scratch score was 63.

THE R. A. Pride Shield has been won by Marion McDonald and George Cuthbertson in the recent mixed competition over nine holes.

JOHN STEWART goes into the third round of the Sir Harry Hope Cup tomorrow as red-hot favourite to take the trophy. Stewart, playing off 27, posted the lowest score of the season with a second-round net 56 which will be hard to beat. The usual ballot will be held at the clubhouse at 8.30am
