| 13th June - ANDY MACLAUGHLAN
IS BOYS' COUNTY MATCHPLAY CHAMPION | |
Kilmacolm Golf Club was, once again, the venue for
the final stages of the Freedman Trophy - the Renfrewshire Golf Union Boys' Match
Play Championship. In excellent conditions,
the first semi final was between Paul Reilly of Lochwinnoch and Andy MacLaughlan
of Bonnyton, a regular member of the SGU Academy squad. Andy's experience showed
through and he recorded a comfortable 3 and 2 win. The
second semi final was a hard fought affair with Paisley's Alex Ferguson eventually
making his way to the final at the 21st hole having just survived a talented challenge
from Greg Paterson - Ranfurly Castle. In
the final, Andy stamped his authority early in the game, winning the first three
holes. However, Alex fought back to be only one down at the turn. Andy moved up
a gear at that stage and two birdies saw him restore his three hole advantage
and an eventual 4 and 3 victory.
