News from around the Huntly Road course

This is a huge course with lots of water and very slick greens. Banbridge set out with high hopes of qualification and were in contention after nine holes. Banbridge finished with a score of 371 for their best 4 cards and missed out on qualification. As always in these qualifying rounds each pair could have shaved a handful of shots off their score.

Well played to Michael Young and Neil Diamond, Neville Kerr and Gareth MacGregor, Mark McCoy and Ryan Simpson, Connor Mulholland and the club Captain and Gareth Moody and Patrick Magennis

Lessons learned and everyone looking out for the next open stoke at Farnham Estate!
