Drew Wilson has had a very positive response to his suggestion that he pull together a short tour over links courses off-season. This year's opener was at Stirling on 11th November and attracted an excdellent entry . Drew advises a change in format this year. Points will be awarded on a reducing scale. First will receive points equivalent to the entry number and so on down to 1 depending on your finishing position.

Report fromSSGS winter events on Friday 11th.

By Organiser Drew Wilson

The first event of thefiveSSGS Winter Order of Merit was held at Stirling on Friday 11thwith a stiff breeze making scoring difficult. Stirling was heavy underfoot due to heavy overnight rain and the greenstaff must be thanked as the greens were in excellent condition and the course played well. 3 players shared the lead on 38 points all 20 out, 18 back with Jalil Aman winning on the best last 6 holes from Drew Wilson and Ian Jeen. 4 players narrowly missed out on 37 points Keith Ross, Andrew Brodie, Wilson Butler and Tom Allan who had a best of the day  back 9  of 21 with Keith Ross and  Stuart Black having 21 on the front 9. Birdies were hard to come by but 2 eagles were scored byDavidMcClelland 16thand Tony Clark 2nd.

This was the best attended event so far and we now look forward to the next event at the Glen on Friday the9thMarch2012
