Ayrshire Golf Association - Scratch League 2025

Following promotion to Division 1 last year, we are fortunate to be able to retain the backbone of that squad.

The 2025 matches for League 1 and finalt results are shown below. 

In what was a very strong league, with every team being able to field very talented players, our guys finished runners up in a very tough league. For a time the guys led the way but unfortunately just lost some momentum towards the final few matches.

However on their return to Division 1 the guys did exceptionally well and we were also able to "blood" a couple of juniors into the team (Harris Vennard and Ryan Steven), in the last few matches which can only bode well for the future.

Many thanks to all the players, Team Captain - Aidan Long, and team manager - Colin Hume for their efforts and giving up their time to represent the club.  Special thanks and congratulations to Aidan who also combined playing with the arrival of his first child.  Obviously a very understanding partner.!

 Ayrshire Golf Association - Handicap League 2025

The handicap team were drawn in League 4 of the Ayrshire Handicap Leagues with fixtures and results shown in the table below.  Following the resignation of 2024 Team captain Stevie Lucas who has stepped up to Match Secretary the team, under the new management of Steven McCreadie (senior), have done fantastically well and topped their leagure to qualify for the quarter finals where they faced a home and away showdown with League 1 winners Portmann

Unfortunately the first leg away at Annanhill didn't go too well, with the guys falling to a 4.5 - 1.5 defeat.  Scores were as follows :

Chris Rimmer lost 5/4, Alan Stewart lost 4/2, Ross Meikle won 1up, Simon Comley A/S, Raymond Craig lost 3/1, Allan Moffat lost 2/1.

In the return match the guys fought hard and despite winning their first two matches, in the end could only manage a 3 - 3 draw and so lost out 7.5 - 4.5.  This is no disgrace, as Portland have a very good, experienced team and know how to grind out a result.  What was evident was how close all the games were, with every matcvh going to the 17th as a minimum.  and also the excellent spirit that both ties were played in and our guys really enjoyed the experience. It was still a great result tro qualify from their section.

Individual results were as follows 

Alan Tierney won 1up, Steven Muir won 1up, Ross Meikle lost 2/1, Simon Comley lost 1 down, Raymond Craig lost 2/1, Allan Moffat won 1up
