WITH most of Kilsyth Lennox Golf Club’s greens being autumn cored, the ball was still running fairly true, as a good field had entered for Saturday, September 29 Texas Scramble.

In the spirit of the weekend’s Ryder Cup nobody was putting better than the team of E. O’Neil, C. Egan, H. Nelson and new member R. Gilmour, who holed his team’s third shot at the par five 14th, for an eagle, which was well celabrated in the bar later,

This shot contributed to their team’s fine score of 54.3 for a comfortable victory,

M. Waters, A. Barrie, G. Mcgill and M. Waters Jnr, were second with 57.2 points.
