Eleven club members of East Kilbride Rotary Club took advantage of some rare glorious sunshine to compete for the 2011 Jimmy Taylor Salver at East Kilbride Golf Club. They were joined by three guest players from the golf club, but despite ideal conditions, not even their local knowledge led to good scoring, although the competition was close.
On the 2nd July 2011 East Kilbride Rotary Club were represented by David Brown, George McGraw & Jim Moretti at the Rotary Club of Stranraer's AM/AM golf tournament further details to follow as they become available.
