Despite the recession, flu pandemics and any other maladies the Treoil Golf Tournament went ahead this year. It was felt earlier in the year that there was a risk in running the event due to the economic situation and the potential lack of teams. A decision was made however to proceed based upon the need to keep the Tournament going and to maintain the Trefoil profile. Following a great deal of hard work, persuasion and not a little coercion we were able to field 13 teams for the event which was held on 9 June 2009. This was around half of our usual attendance however it did take us beyond the break even point.

A number of our regular attenders were unable to field a team this year due to the economic downturn which is entirely understandable however we will still be looking for you next year!

The day started off cool and breezy however it soon brightened up into a glorious day with some superb Golf being played on a well prepared course. The scores indicated that the play was of a high standard with the Winning score being an impressive 118.

Scores were as follows:

• 1st prize with a score of 118 went to Millar and Bryce represented by James Davidson, Edward Danks, Neil Reid and Craig Forster.

• 2nd Prize with a score of 119 went to last years winners Gillespie Macandrew represented by Gordon Cairns, Norman Hall, Ian Fraser and Ian Armstrong.

• 3rd Prize with a score of 122 went to Dunedin Canmore represented by Danny Grant, Walter Gerrard, Kevin Blackley and James McLetchie.

• Hole 1 Nearest the Hole in 2 sponsored by Reidpay Ltd was won by Zander Culverwell a Member of the Susan Stephen team, Zander also won the Hole 13 nearest the pin on the Green sponsored by Edinburgh Risk Management.

• Hole 16 Longest Drives for Ladies & Gents sponsored by Connect Communications were won by June Dey of Edrington Group and James McLetchie of Dunedin Canmore.

• Hole 18 Nearest the hole in 2 sponsored by Walter Scott and Partners was won by Paul Kennedy of the Assay Office.

The event raised nearly £4000.00 on the day including the Raffle and the Silent Auction which on its own raised a generous £500.00.
