ON COURSE MARSHALLING AT SSGS EVENTS
Most of you will be aware that during the past few tournaments we have had a marshall [mainly Ian McKerron] on the course during play. The initiative for marshalling the course derived from some concerns among members about pace of play in one or two recent events.
The committee wants to make it clear to competitors that the role of the marshall is not to ‘spy’, single out or, indeed, sanction particular players that may have fallen behind the group in front, but primarily to monitor overall pace of play throughout the whole field in order to maintain flow.
So far, the mere presence of a marshall in a buggy has been sufficient to remind groups that have fallen behind to slightly quicken their pace without need for warnings or players being ‘put on the clock’.
We believe that the marshalling so far has delivered positive results and we are minded to continue with this initiative when resources and manpower allow (which will not always be the case).
These days, complaints about slow play are common in virtually all golfing environments and arenas. While it is sensible to try to address this problem wherever it might arise, there is a danger of becoming overly fixated on the issue when, in reality, around four hours for a three-ball in tournament conditions is not unreasonable.
To emphasise again, the course marshall is not there to threaten slow groups with sanctions. The marshall’s job is to merely make players aware that they may be losing too much ground to the group in front or are delaying groups coming behind them.
Of course, the presence of the marshall at any particular part of the course does not necessarily mean he is concerned about a group’s pace of play. He may just be admiring the golf before moving on!
We hope that members will support this move and trust they show the marshall due courtesy and respect for a job well worth doing.

Spring Meeting - Kilmarnock Barassie G C 20/21st April
JENKINS SWEEPS TO VICTORY AT BARASSIE AS FIRST ROUND LEADERS FLOUNDER IN THE WIND
An unmatched two-under par second round of 70 secured victory for Royal Troon’s Robert Jenkins at Kilmarnock Barassie in the opening 36-hole tournament of the year.
The Scottish internationalist improved his first round score by five shots to claim the Spring Meeting title by virtue only of a better second round score from Gullane’s Duncan Low who followed a one-under par 71 with 74.
In cool and breezy conditions, Jenkins shot an impressive three birdies and six pars on his second round outward nine to turn in 34. He bogeyed the par three 12th and the par four 15th, but a birdie at the closing hole brought him home in 36.
Low, meanwhile, turned in one-under with birdies at the second and par-5 seventh with his only blemish being a bogey at the par three 4th. Three putts at the 18th for an inward half of 38, three over par, cost him the title.
Joint first round leaders Scott Walker, Gullane, and local player Andrew Campbell couldn’t match their first rounds of 69, slipping to a disappointing 78 and 84 respectively.
Robert Smith, Nairn, finished third with two rounds of 73. His 146 total was also enough to finish runner-up in the nett medal, with John Wilkes, Haggs Castle, running out winner with rounds of 70 and 73
Wilson Bryson, Drumpellier, was third on countback from Ian Jeen, New Club St Andrews, with rounds of 72 and 74,
The Society would like to congratulate and thank all at Kilmarnock Barassie Golf Club for the excellent condition of the course and first class catering. Special thanks to Steven Kerr, Golf Operations, for his invaluable support and assistance.

John Fraser, Royal Burgess, who was lying second after a first round 70 carded a second round 75 to finish third in a field of 70 players.

East of Scotland Open - Leven G C - 18/19th May
HENDERSON COMPLETES THE ‘GRAND SLAM’ WITH FINAL GREEN BIRDIE PUTT AT LEVEN
Scottish internationalist Stewart Henderson became only the second player in SSGS history to complete the ‘grand slam’ of tournament triumphs with a sensational win in the East of Scotland Championship at Leven Links.
A single shot separated Henderson and Scotland team-mate Paul Moultrie to secure victory for the former and a place in the annals of senior amateur golf.
The only other player to win all nine of the tour’s principal tournaments is former Scotland team captain Ronnie Clark.
Henderson followed a one-under par 70 in the opening round at Leven with a two-under par 69 in the second, compared with Moultrie’s 71,69.
A long, raking birdie putt on the 18th green gave the Hamilton player victory by the narrowest of margins.
Both Henderson and Clark have won the Scottish Seniors Matchplay Championship, the Spring Meeting, the North of Scotland Championship, the President’s Cup, the East of Scotland Championship, the Central Scotland Championship, the West of Scotland Championship, the South of Scotland Championship and the Autumn Meeting.
Henderson has now won 14 SSGS tournaments overall compared with Clark’s 16.
Henderson was delighted to have finally won the East of Scotland crown.
He said: ‘It was the one tournament missing from the set so I am chuffed to have got this one over the line and to have a complete slam of SSGS events.’
Henderson’s second round was the model of consistency with nine straight pars on the outward half and three birdies and only one bogey on the inward.
Moultrie’s second round front nine mirrored Henderson’s back nine with three birdies and one bogey, while his inward half comprised nine straight pars.
Keith Watt, Turnhouse, finished third with two rounds of 70, despite a triple bogey 8 on the par five 12th on Day Two,
First round leader Alan Anderson, Aberdour, slipped to a disappointing 76 after his opening round of 69.
As a measure of the quality among the 132-strong field, the top 14 finishers were all plus handicap players bar two, who were scratch and 1 handicap.
The top four players - Henderson, Moultrie, Watt and Royal Dornoch ‘s Allan Cameron completed the 36 holes in under par with the fifth placed Ronnie Clark, finishing level - hugely creditable performances by all especially since they faced challenging wind and rain conditions on the second day.
Round of the tournament was achieved by Braehead’s Paul Brookes with an impressive and unrivalled four under par 67 in the second round, comprising four birdies and 14 pars.
Moultrie (+1.3) had the consolation of finishing top of the nett competition on 140. Drumpellier’s Graham Rankin (0.7) claimed the runner-up spot with the same 140 total but had one more shot than Moultrie in the second round. George Barrie (1.6) finished third on 141 ahead of Strathaven’s Robert Scott (2.8) by dint of a better second round score.
The Society would like to extend its warmest thanks to all at Leven Links and Leven Thistle Golf Club for their hospitality during two days of excellent service, including captain Gus Cargill and Chris Galloway and his assistant John Mudie.
