GOLF — Inverclyde Golf Hold Annual Team Contest

GREENOCK Golf Club were crowned Inverclyde Golf’s 2021 Team Champions.

They triumphed in the contest involving 12-man teams from the four golf clubs in Inverclyde which was held this year at Gourock.

The competitors were treated to a course set up in great condition on a dry day.

The format sees 12 four-ball, better-ball matches with each club playing two matches against the other three clubs.

The 2021 event ended up a ‘two-horse’ race between Gourock and Greenock, the difference between them coming in the head-to-head matches between the clubs, with Greenock winning both.

Greenock finished with five points from a possible six, with Gourock one point behind.

Organisers thank the clubs — especially team captains Barry Higgins (Gourock), David MacFarlane (Greenock), Steven McLeod (Port Glasgow) and John Donald (Whinhill) — for fielding teams in the event.

Inverclyde Golf thank Allan Warwick and all (especially the greenkeeping, professional, bar and catering staff) at Gourock Golf Club for hosting the event.

Greenock Golf Club Team — Louis Alberts, Murdoch Carmichael, Ricardo Di Murro, Paul Dorrian, Chris McAulay, David MacFarlane, Graeme McLellan, Stephen Mullan, Crawford Rae, Alistair Roy, Alex Roy, Lewis Wilkie
