Great Start for Renfrewshire Juniors
The season got underway for the boys of Renfrewshire Golf Union at Caldwell Golf Club where the first challenge was to get full points in their home match against Stirlingshire.
There was disappointment for Erskine’s Ross Clark who hoped to make his first appearance at County level when Stirlingshire’s first player failed to show, resulting in a walk over for Ross. This left fifteen year old Steven Wilson of Whinhill to set the standard for the team. He certainly did that with a 2 hole win and this inspired the rest of the boys who went on to record a further four wins and two halved games for a great 7/1 win. County Stroke Play Champion Stuart Watt from Old Ranfurly showed that he is also strong in match play and had a narrow win over a very talented opponent. All the games were close and the quality of the golf on both sides was very high.
Team Manager, Graham McGee, said that while it was a promising start to the campaign to win the West League, he sympathized with Ross who had been looking forward to his match. Hopefully he will get his chance in the next match at Ranfurly Castle on 19th June against Ayrshire.
Full results were: Ross Clark, Erskine – Walk Over; Steven Wilson, Whinhill – won by 2 holes – Blair Carnegie, Dunblane New; Colin Edgar, Cochrane Castle – halved match – Andrew Wood, Glenbervie; Paul Dorrian, Greenock – won by 1 hole – Stuart Irving, Falkirk; John Scott, East Renfrewshire – halved match – Dariusz Kunecki, Callander; Paul Reilly, Lochwinnoch – won by 2 holes – Euan Douglas, Dunblane New Stuart Watt, Old Ranfurly – won by 1 hole – Charlie Linton, Dunblane New; Alasdair McDougall, Elderslie – won 2 and 1 – Cameron Buist, Dunblane New.
