TAYLOR SALVER 2014
Nine club members entered the competition for the Taylor Salver at East Kilbride G C on 28 August and the sun did smile on the righteous, as the heavy rain disappeared ten minutes before the first tee off, and playing conditions were perfect for the rest of the day.
The good conditions were reflected in the scoring with almost all the players scoring over thirty Stableford points, but the clear winner with a magnificent score of 36 was Ian Macpherson whose steady play throughout his round proved the old saying about wine improving with age. Playing in the same group was the runner up, Liam Donnelly, who scored 33 points, the same as newcomer Russell Gill who finished third due to a slightly poorer inward half.
The other winners, who also received their prizes after a fine dinner and fellowship in the golf club, were Jack Blackwood whose was nearest the pin at the 3rd hole, and Jim Moretti whose drive on the 9th was the longest of the day.
