Cardrona Scramble - 31st July 2024

Nestled amongst the rolling hills of the Tweed Valley, the Dave Thomas designed, Cardrona Hotel Championship Golf Course hosted the Golf Pairs Tour on a beautifully warm and sunny Wednesday for a Texas scramble event. 109 golfers came together, forming 28 teams to take on the challenge of Cardrona. At over 6800 yards from the white tees the par 72 championship course at Cardrona would provide a stern test for all of our competitors, but on one of the hottest days of the year so far some of the golf played was even hotter! None more so than the team of Ian Ferguson, David Stewart, John Orr and John Bruce who triumphed with a remarkable net score of 50. Eagle at the first isn’t a bad way to start the round and another long range eagle at the 15th helping them to victory.

As the sun continued to beat down our golfers could relax with a cold drink on the terrace here at Cardrona as they mulled over some wonderful golf in a wonderful setting.

WHS winners:

1st- Ian Ferguson, David Stewart, John Orr, John Bruce (50)
2nd - Andy Hunter, Alex McKenzie, Bill Steel, Nick Armstrong (52)
3rd - David Whalen, Scott Blayney, Alistair Styles, Mark Hodgson (54)
4th - Raymond Gillon, Darren McLaughlin, Robert Duncan, Sean Harley (55) 5th - Kyle Donnellan, Kieran Donnellan, Paul Wilson, Ross Hastie (56)

Gross Winners:

The team of Greg Swinton, Glen Hunter, Jamie Green and Liam Gillie also had a brilliant net 54 but their superb gross score of 60 means they take the bigger prize of gross champions.

Longest Drive:
Big hitter of the day was Ross Thomson Nearest The Pin:

The par 3 holes at Cardrona are a real challenge, the 189 yard 9th hole was where our golfers would look to put it nearest the pin and it was David Court who was closest of all.

A great day was had by all so a huge thank you to all of our golfers and the wonderful staff here at Cardrona. Hope to see you all soon.
