NE Regional Golf Series returns to Newmachar

The second annual NE Regional golf event was hosted at Newmachar Golf Club on Wednesday 12th October.

The second annual NE Regional golf event was hosted at Newmachar Golf Club on Wednesday 12th October. This year the event was organised by Aberdeen University Golf Club, and 45 students from Aberdeen University, Robert Gordons University, North East Scotland College, Abertay University and a lone ranger from Stirling University competed in an 18-hole stableford competition on the Swailend course. Handicaps ranged from … to … and although the weather tested the patience of some of the competitors at times, a good day was enjoyed by all.

The golfers from RGU got into the spirit of the event early, arriving by coach, they sampled few of the delights the clubhouse had to offer before their rounds began. Some questionable behaviour was observed on the first tee as RGU’s Benjamin Palmer took the competition for Worst Dressed too seriously and had to change into something more comfortable… Everyone soon got into the swing of things, with scoring averaging above 30 points.

However, the luck of the Irish was with Aberdeen University’s First Team Captain Andrew Mullholland as he led the scoring with 40 points (69 scratch). Aberdeen’s George Porton finished second with 39 points. Conor Stewart, Aberdeen, Steven Young, and Calum Morrison, RGU, entered with a score of 38 points, but Peter Chater, RGU, clinched Third prize with a better inward half. On the other end of the scale, Ewan Christie, Aberdeen, earned the wooden spoon for the second year, with a score of 20 points.
