Cawder Golf Club are top of the latest MyGolfRanking club listings for the Glasgow area.

Although there is no competitive golf being played at the moment, the weekly rankings are still changing as they are based on a 52-week cycle.

That means points gained from the corresponding week 12 months ago are dropped, although at the moment they are not being replaced from the current week, as would normally be the case.

There are also four Cawder members in the top 15 of the men’s individual rankings, with Blaine MacFadyen leading the way in fourth spot. Glasgow Golfer of the Week was Steven Manning of Pollok GC who tops the listings.
