Menzies Trophy -
Sunday 2nd May 2010 Elderslie (Youth
County Strokeplay Championship)
| |
| Alistair Lauder of Paisley
Golf Club wins the Title | |
Elderslie Golf Club was the venue for the Menzies
Trophy sponsored by Abbeycare Foundation. This annual event is the Youth Stroke
Play Championships played over 36 holes. Alistair
Lauder from Paisley and Renfrew's Jordan Grant set the morning standard with scores
of 70 and 72 respectively. The afternoon saw some excellent golf with three scores
of 69 recorded by Sam Binning (Ranfurly Castle) to temporarily head the leader
board on 143, Darryn Grant (Renfrew) for an aggregate of 145 and Bryan Robertson
- also from Renfrew - whose excellent round was in marked contrast to his morning
round of 89! The question was - would Alistair Lauder hold it together in the
second round needing a score of 72 to take the trophy. Indeed he could and his
aggregate of 142 over a tricky course was an excellent performance.
