We held our annual competition at Moffat on Saturday the 11th of October and the winners were:
Colin Fraser with 46 points and an excellent gross score of 66 which, off the medal tees, is Colin's best score at Moffat by four shots. This was good enough to win the singles also.
Colin's partner was Malcolm Riley from Eskdalemuir who contributed a keen 38 points. Good to see Malcolm playing a bit more golf at the back end of the year.
Second in the singles was Charles Mulroy and second in the team event were Ian Paul and Charles Mulroy.
The post match celebrations were a little more restrained than in former years. perhaps not a bad thing.
