The second attempt to get the championship played was successful thanks to the generous co-operation of Monifieth Links and the patience of the team organisers. It was Baltic and barely light when the first group teed off. The tail wind chasing the players down the first five holes was of a strength which made things almost as difficult as it was against it. Greens were fast and subtle with many wind v borrow decisions.

Credit therefore to all competitors, especially the best of day 74s of Jim McArthur, Lindsay Blair and Ron McLellan. Stirlingshire put together an awesome team performance to win the inaugural trophy and golf medals by 14 shots. Well earned silver medals went to Fife with a total which might have been thought good enough. Lothians pipped North East for the bronzes.

Superb event enjoyed by the teams and one which will gain prominence in the years to come.
