DREGGS AUTUMN OUTING 2018 From the suggested dates members opted for Tuesday the 16th October for the DREGGS Autumn Outing to Milnathort Golf Club. Being a nine holes course members therefore had two cracks at the mini events and the competition was fierce. Overall it was an excellent day and there was some good golf played in favourable conditions. The outing was enjoyed by 16 members of the DREGGS with Alistair Simpson in attendance for the second nine holes.

DREGGS SPRING OUTING 2018 Of the possible dates listed members agreed Thursday the 12th April for the DREGGS Spring Outing to Shawpark GC. Spring Outing it may have been but there was a cold wind chill factor in a strong east wind making conditions far from easy. However, it was a good day out, there was no rain, and played in good spirit the golf was enjoyed and the hospitality and food provided greatly appreciated.

DREGGS LATE SUMMER OUTING 2017 Following the preferred dates listed members opted for Friday 29th September for the DREGGS Late Summer Outing to Dunning. Although there was an initial forecast of heavy rain it never arrived, it was dry, warm and sunny and with the course in excellent condition some fourteen members enjoyed a day of good golf and good company. In all it was a closely contested competition with 10 of the players within six shots of the winner.

DREGGS SPRING OUTING 2017 Following the preferred dates listed by members the DREGGS Spring Outing to Milnathort took place on Thursday 23rd March. There was a bitterly cold easterly wind but it was dry, the course was in good condition although all the bunkers were GUR (what a pity!). In all 19 golfers competed, fifteen playing the full eighteen holes, four playing nine only due to other commitments. THE PRIZE WINNERS First Second Third Mike O’Sullivan (25) 35 pts Davie Cowie (14) 34 pts John Young (12) 33 pts The mini competitions were won by Hector Brodie – nearest the pin from the tee on 4th and 13th Holes Charlie Norman – longest drive on 6th and 15th George Marshall – nearest the pin in 2 shots at 9th and 18th holes. (Note: Being a 9 hole course, there were two goes at the mini competitions but I believe the winners all got their shots during their first 9 holes.) In the Novelty Category, Matt Mckillopp won a bottle of Lucozade for being nearest the tee on the first (to give him more 'oomph' next time out!) and Tom Dow won a double Mars bar for “the most golf played” (to sustain him during his next marathon round!). The clubhouse facilities, the friendly staff and the condition of the course was excellent ~ we shall certainly return on another day. Martin Smith - 24 March 2017 President DREGGS
