Saturday 1^st, May saw 43 teams take part in the Machrihanish Am Am competition including 2 teams from the main sponsor, Argyll Buildbase. The event was very well organised with a selection of prizes to play for at all 18 holes in addition to the main competition honours.

The bar was set high early in the day by the Insubiz team headed up by Soren Hundeball, who collectively racked up several net eagles that ultimately contributed to a great score of 53 which was always going to be the score to beat, and must have put many of the later teams at a psychological disadvantage even before they had stepped up to the first tee.

Iain Reid’s, Argyll and Bute Consultants team were hopeful of finishing in the prizes with a 57 despite an average inward half which could have been worse if it were not for Terry Mundie finding his clinical putting form that we have been so used to seeing in the Winter League!

However, it was David Rankin’s, Papa and the 3 Bears who mounted the best challenge to the leaders who were next in with a 56 to take second place followed by the Largieside team in 3^rd place by virtue of a better inward half.

The evenings prize giving took place in a packed clubhouse hosted by Club Captain, Bob Tait and prizes kindly presented to the winners by Dorothy Tait.
