Ullapool Golf Club holds a two day open each year on the last weekend in August. It's a great event on a lovely golf course. Each year a few Gairlochians travel through to play in it. Some even manage to get all the way home again. This year was a wee bit special. Our own Mark Dodd was the overall winner of the scratch prize and Neil Macleod was placed second in the scratch on the second day. Well done lads and well done Ullapool for hosting such a great event.

It has to be said that not everyone from Gairloch was so successful. The third picture was sent through by Neil. It's of Gary Watson playing his second shot on the 15th, from just short of the ladies tee. I saw Gary today and asked him what went wrong. He said "I only played an iron". I think he was fairly confident he could have got it past the ladies tee if he'd used his driver...Neil had asked Gary why he was playing safe with an iron, to which Gary had said "it doesn't matter what you hit, it'll only be a short second". Or a short third as it turned out.

A picture of this years Champion Golfer of Gairloch. It's the same man who won last years championship. And that man is Neil "Flops" Macleod, looking particularly resplendent in this picture in a beautiful purple shirt decorated with golden skulls. As befits a championship final the contest was between the two lowest handicaps in the field, Mark Dodd and Neil. Mark was the low man but Neil came out on top with a 4 and 2 victory. Mark said that Neil deserved to win with some fabulous play round the greens. Well done Neil.

Ps great choice of shirt by Sarah

It was the last big open event of the season yesterday, the Lenny Crossley mixed open. The weather was lovely on the day and a crowded field enjoyed perfect conditions for golf. Thanks have to go to Lenny for his continued support of not only this event but others in the region as well. We'd also like to thank Mark Dodd for presenting the course in such beautiful condition and to Thomas, Linda and all the staff in the Links Cafe for their efforts on the day.

Alison Grove led the way in the ladies section, winning by a shot from Marion Taylor. In the gents section the top three were separated by a single shot. Rob McKay carried on his good form after winning last weeks stableford and came in third. Nick Sullivan was second with a better inward nine. The winner by a single shot was Paul Howlett. I played with Paul and his approach shots were as good as I've seen him play. Paul does a lot of work for the club behind the scenes and it was nice to see him winning a big prize.

Last but in no way least we have to give continued thanks to Carol Howlett for once again running the days events in her usual fuss free and efficient way.

Edit: and I've just checked Paul's handicap this morning and it still hasn't come down!!

It's the Lenny Crossly on the 22nd of August. I'm not sure what the forecast is just yet, but the sun always shines on the righteous so I'm sure it will be a lovely day, the palm trees blowing gently in a soft breeze. There are still a few spots left so it would be great of folk could share this post and we could fill up those last few spots. Lenny is a great supporter of Highland Golf, ensuring a great range of prizes for both the ladies and the gents. It's a stableford off the yellows.

DID YOU GET THAT GARY, DUNCAN AND STU - A STABLEFORD OFF THE YELLOWS!!.

It was the Harry Davis Senior Open yesterday. A competition open to ladies and gents of a certain age. A happy go lucky, carefree, giggles and smiles sort of an age group. It was nice to be playing for the Harry Davis Trophies again. And nice to see young Rhona Rollo waltzing home as the popular winner of the ladies section. For a good long while Gary Watson was in the winners chair in the gents section. He got so confident that he was going to be in the prizes that he even paid his entry fee. At which point Johnny Bevens came in with a 69 to win with an excellent score of 40 points. I have to mention the group of Gary Watson, Stewart Crawford and McTavish of Melvaig who had six twos between them. Oh and by the way lads - the Lenny Crossley on the 22nd is off the yellows and is a Stableford. Don't worry though, I'll remind you again closer to the date. Age is a dreadful thing.

Well, are you? If you are then Gairloch wants you to play in their Senior Open on the 11th of August. A great day out with like minded folk. Talking about how good things were back in the day. When a fish supper was fivepence and an 8 iron went 150 yards.

I've added the registration link below. There will be a post every day and if there aren't a more few entries George and Rhona will be going door to door asking why you've not put your name down.

3: There's a generous handicap allowance

6: You're playing for the Harry Davis Trophy.
