Clober Duo Shine in Belhaven Qualifier

Club captain Jim Graham, a former Scotland Youths international, and secretary Brian Davidson combined to great effect to take the honours in the second Belhaven Best Captains & Secretaries regional final at Eastwood on Wednesday 27th June. The duo fired an impressive five-under par 65 as the sun shone on the south side of Glasgow, to pip runners-up Saxone and third place Deaconsbank on an inward nine countback. Forty four-balls competed on the day.

Jimmy, a one handicapper, who played alongside Gordon Brand Jnr and Brian Marchbank in the Scottish Youths team in the late 70s, is relishing the prospect of returning to Blairgowrie for the final in September. “The last time I played there was a Youth match against Ronan Rafferty so I’ve got great memories of the Rosemount course. It was great fun playing with my secretary Brian – we dovetailed well and we’re delighted to win,” said Jim.

“It’s a real pleasure to play with Jim. He’s a great player and having just missed out on the Belhaven final last year (after a countback) I’m grateful for having such a strong partner.” added the Clober secretary.

The Club was formed in 1951 when the then Clober Golf Club merged with the Clober Estates Club. In 1987 Clober Golf Club bought the course from the Lyle family and in 1997 Sandy Lyle MBE, 1985 Open Champion and 1988 US Masters Champion, became our Honorary President.
