A huge field took to the course for yet another sponsored Medal. The sponsor paying the entry fee for all players and buying everyone a drink after the round. Results as above, also well done to best under 49 year old Colin Muir, best 50-59 year old John Black, best 60-69 year old David McNee and best over 70’s Mike Ivory, all winning a sleeve of balls.

So we proved again we are not just a Golf Club. North Bute Primary school used our clubhouse today for their fundraising Bingo day. Over 40 people brought their “dabbers” and got their eyes down for some family fun. 10 rounds of bingo, a bonus ball scratch card, a raffle, and an auction. With the club donating prizes, friends and families donating bottles, gift sets, toys etc etc, the school raised £660 for the kids trip. Huge thanks to Heather Sweet for the bingo and the running of the raffle, also big thanks go to Susan Slaven and Mandy McLaughlan for planning the whole event. Great to give back to the island. Get in touch if you wish to hire the clubhouse for your event, if it’s for a local cause or a charity and you use the bar it’s free of charge.

Rothesay Motors Winter League week 5
Biggest upset of the week was Davie Greer and Big Al beating last years winners Colin and Carl 6&4, maybe not a huge surprise of the result but the score line is a bit of a shock. A lot of people standing in as a substitute this week as this was pencilled in due to last weeks call off. The course was in superb condition and as always we were all fed and watered in the bar afterwards. The leagues will be posted soon, but with one qualifier to go, there are still a few leagues which will go to the wire.
