THE 2018 Texas Scramble Gents Open was held recently at Whinhill Golf Club, Greenock with a team from Airdrie Golf Club — Alexander Jones, Martin McAdam, Douglas McNicol and Jonathan Ryan — returning a magnificent score of 53.625 for victory.

There was an entry of 27 four-man teams in this, the eighth year of the competition, which started in the club’s centenary year.

A slight delay for the first half a dozen or so groups, in the morning, because of fog failed to dampen spirits as the sun did not take long to burn through giving competitors one of the best days of the year. The wind picked up as the day went on making scoring in the afternoon a little tougher on a course in really good shape, even at this early stage of the season.

The team of John Connor (Gourock G.C.), Colin McKenzie (Gourock G.C.), John McKenzie and William Wilton (Gourock G.C.) claimed second place with a great performance and score of 55.

Third place went to the team of John Donald, Paul Jones, Paul McCarn and Mick Wright with a fine nett score of 55.5.

Fourth place went to the team of Gary Havlin, Jim McAulay (Greenock G.C.), Chris McDaid (Greenock G.C.) and Barry O’ Donnell (Greenock G.C.) with a nett score of 56.625.
