Forfar GC has proved over the years to be a popular course, and it did so again with 21 players travelling north with the short tight course proving to be tough for scoring.

The scoring was close with only 10points separating first and last. Paul Fenwick mastered it best winning by 1point over Jim Sidey, George Wilkinson was the most accurate at the 16th winning the nearest the pin competition. Billy Simpson won the Hidden Holes and the yellow ball was brought home best by Harry Black, Leitch Douglas and Paul Fenwick. This Month’s Bandit was Jim Sidey.

Next month we head to Pitreavie Golf Club near Dunfermline. The 18-hole course has a parkland nature, but it does have some holes that have links-type turf to hit off, and a crisp strike imparts some much needed control at these points.

At just over 6000 yards (6,032), off the medal tees, the course provides a good test of golf, without being beyond the means of the ‘average’ club golfer. A par 70 and SSS 69 (Gents) 72 (Ladies) gives everyone a fair chance of playing to their handicap on every outing. The diversity of terrain ensures that anyone who doesn’t think their shots through properly will suffer, and without being able to see the bottom of the pin on many holes, the golfer has to be sure in his or her mind before committing to the shot.
The first tee time is 10.30 with coffee and bacon rolls included.
