19th Annual Mark Johnston SCOT Golf Classic

Donald Ross

This year we ended up with only eight players competing, due to unforeseen circumstances, conflicting events and – of course – Covid!

Prior to the starting date there was much concern regarding the projected high temperature, which led to a brief meeting of our executive committee. An email was sent to those who were going to play, asking if they would prefer to cut the event down to 9 holes this year, and as always, the majority vote would prevail.  We decided to only play 9 holes and at the end of the day that proved to be a very sensible decision.

This decision did not detract from the fierce Competition nor the usual camaraderie that we are so used to, no matter how much everyone wanted to win!

And now the results which you have all been waiting for!!

In 1st place, the amazing duo of Doug Cruickshanks and Don “The Duffer” Ross (wow) with a low score of 39 for the 9 holes.
Best Dressed Scottish attire:  once more, Scott Bartow (Thanks Scott)
Longest Drive:   Doug Cruickshanks
Closest to the Pin:   John Sprague
Most Balls Lost:   Frank Yonnetti

There were many smiles and much laughter all around, and everyone looks forward to next year!

Keep on Swinging …

Don “The Winning Duffer” Ross
