It was another busy week at Kingussie Golf Club, with temperatures soaring over the weekend.
Over 80 ‘Seniors’ at 55+ took to the course on Tuesday with wind and heavy rain forecast.
Fortunately the rain slipped past, leaving the fairways and more importantly the competitors to enjoy a fine day on the course.
The competition saw Laurie Chancellor claim an excellent victory in the scratch competition. Laurie also finished second in Division 1 with a nett score of 66, Kevin Green coming out on top with 64 and Ewan Donaldson finishing in third place with 68
In division 2 Kenny Russell was first with a nett score of 66 and Ian Smillie second on the same score. Alan Morton came third, having posted a nett score of 67.

Robert Munro came out on top in the Men’s Midweek Medal with an excellent nett score of 63. Ian J Clark was two shots behind on 65 and both Willie Fraser and Willie Ross a further two shots behind, with nett scores of 67.
Gary Munro came out on top in Saturday’s June Medal with a nett score of 68 despite Ryan Borthwick and Simon Lieper also carding the same score. It must have been a strong finish from Gary.
