26 pairs took part in our club qualifier today (Sunday) for the newly introduced Scottish Golf PING Mixed Championship, playing for the Isobel Currie Trophy.

In dry, bright and breezy conditions, scoring was difficult for most of the field, but after all was done, the pair who managed to top the leader board were Janice Cullens and Callum Cooper (combined h’cap 19) with an impressive 41 stableford points!

The top three places were as follows:

• Winners:       Janice Cullens & Callum Cooper             –           41 pts

• Runners-up: Carol & Lindsay Stuart                               –           36 pts

• Third:             Christina Graham & Alistair Forrest     –           35 pts

Janice and Callum are now put forward as Douglas Park’s representatives, hopefully in the top 40 scoring qualifiers, for the National Final over the Queen’s Course at Gleneagles in September.

Thank you to the members of the Ladies’ section, led by Barbara Aitchison, and the Assistant Professional Andrew Hutchinson for bringing together all of the arrangements, including scoring input on the PSI terminal for the day.

Diary Date to note: The Mixed Greensomes Trophy on Sunday 8 October.
