Alford Gents Open
Another Open day when the weather has been kind to us. Not the highest of temperatures but it stayed dry. A full entry with 156 playing continuously from 0700-1530 so thanks to all who entered.
Excellent feedback on the condition of the course and the service received in the clubhouse. Thanks to all for your comments and to the staff for their hard work. Thanks also to the volunteers without which we could not run these events.
Quite a spread of scores in both divisions but some excellent gross and nett scores taking the prizes. Winners as follows:
Gross
£100 - Callum Coutts, Alford - 67
£80 - Ryan Forbes, Nigg Bay - 70
£60 - Stuart Findlay, Alford - 72
