Open Fours 2026
I am happy to report that we once again managed to host another very successful tournament.
The weather was perfect and the green was running well, thanks to the efforts from Brian and Scott.
A big thanks as always to everyone for continuing to support our competition, and for your raffle prizes, for which we are very grateful, for without your entries we would not have had such a successful tournament.
As always, we couldn’t have done it without all our helpers, especially the ones in the kitchen, especially Jill, Jacqui and Eddie who worked tirelessly not just on Saturday, but from the Friday also, their efforts were very much appreciated, as were the efforts of Pamela and Susan and anyone else that I have missed who helped them on the day. A big thanks to Ian and all his bar helpers who kept you well watered throughout the day and evening, a hard shift for all.
A big thank you to our sponsors, Robert Smith, Drainage & Plant Contractors & to Tennents for their continued support.
I can’t personally comment on the bowling but by all accounts it was of a very high standard, which was not a surprise with the calibre of the teams that had entered.
I am sure their play was appreciated by all the spectators, who also deserve a thanks for their support and helping to create an atmosphere.
In my absence, I would like to thank Ian McD and Ian Brogan for helping run the competition, I am sure it was done just as well.
I would also like to thank our very own resident photographer, Olga for all the fantastic pictures, which have helped capture the moment.
Congratulations to all the section winners,
The beaten semi finalists were the teams of Kev Nicholson and Scott Pirie from Rattray.
Runners up were, my good good friends from Alyth, Alan Strachan, Sandy Tosh, Peter Hosie and Ian Strachan.
This year’s winner’s were my old friends, David Wilson, Stuart Ogg, Alistair Berwick and the one and only David Longmuir, well done guys, just goes to show, form is temporary, but class is permanent.
Thanks again to everyone for being there.
Hopefully see you all again next year.
James
