Tom triumphs in Jubilee Cup

Tom was one of three golfers to shoot 42 points on the day, sharing the score with William Meehan and Andrew Cochrane, but edged both on count back with a better back nine.

The ten-handicapper had a great start to his round, parring the first three holes, but after a bogey at the fourth, a double bogey at six and a further bogey at the eighth, Tom reached the turn with only 19 points.

A bogey at the tenth did little for his score but a birdie at the eleventh got him going and three pars followed. A bogey at fifteen slowed his pace but pars at the next two holes restored his confidence and a birdie at the home hole saw him come home in 23 points for his total of 42.

Twelve-handicapper, William, mixed four pars with three bogeys going out, and a birdie at the eighth helped off set a double bogey at six, allowing him to turn in 20 points. A strong back nine of two over par, gave William 22 points coming in and helped secure second place.

Third place went to Andrew (7) who made it to the turn at level par and 22 points, aided by a birdie at the first. His back nine began strongly and thanks to a birdie at fourteen, was one under par with four holes remaining. Bogeys at Andrew's next two holes set him back but he recovered to par in for 20 points for his 42 total.

aul Watters (11) took fourth thanks to a superb birdie – birdie finish to give him 41 points, just edging George Redpath (14), who had 40 points, who rued not scoring at the fifteenth hole.

Best Gross went to Graeme Dickson (1) who shot a level par 70 to beat his brother Michael (4) by one shot. Graeme parred his first nine holes, before birdies at the tenth and fourteenth took him to two under par. But after bogeys at the fifteenth and sixteenth, he had to settle for level.

Michael began slowly and after bogeys at two, three and nine, was three over on his round. Birdies at twelve and thirteen got him back to one over, parring in for a fine back nine of 33 (2 under par) to give 71.
