Congratulations to Neil MacRae on winning the GGU Order of Merit Series 24. Neil tops the Order of Merit this season with a grand total of 653 points. Although there are 9 competitions in which to accumulate points towards the award, Neil only needed 4 of these to make the winning total, including his GGU Matchplay win at Cowglen in May.

All in all, a great season for Neil in the GGU, and we look forward to seeing him at the Prizegiving next year to collect his awards.

The 2024 Final was played at its traditional venue of Gailes Links. The course is in excellent condition with the greens surprisingly quick for October. The weather was good albeit a little cool and breezy at times. This year's finalists were Christopher Hogg of Bishopbriggs Golf Club and Neil MacRae of Glasgow Golf Club.

The match itself was played in a good sporting manner perfectly in keeping with the traditions of the Glasgow Golf Union. Chris dominated the front nine being 3up at the turn and under par. The only halved holes of the entire match were the 3rd and the 6th. The back nine had a different complexion with Neil battling back courtesy of a couple of birdies and some good solid play, Neil eventually running out the winner 2 up.

A great match and occasion and many thanks to Glasgow Golf Club for hosting the event again.

Congratulations to Glasgow Golf Club juniors on winning the Annual Wee Boundary Bell match against Fereneze Golf Club on Sunday 15th September. After the match was tied at all square, Glasgow went on to win at the first play off hole. It's the second time in 4 meetings of these two clubs that a playoff has been required to separate the teams, and brings the total to 2 wins each in the competition. Many thanks to everyone who came to support the players on a great afternoon for Junior golf, and to The Bishopbriggs Golf Club for courtesy of the course.

The GGU ‘A’ Team had their ‘duel in the sun’ at Hilton Park on Saturday the 7th in the match v Renfrewshire. The weather was glorious and the course in good condition despite the recent very wet weather. 

The foursomes were won 2-1 but overall Glasgow lost the tie 5-4 with the deciding singles match being decided at the third extra hole played between Roody Macauley and Gordon Sangster. A disappointing end to a great Championship for the ‘A’ Team and we can all look forward to more progress in the seasons to come.

The ‘A’ team played the final qualifying match at a sunny Rothesay on the 14th of July. The GGU players were Louis Fleming, Blair Dalgleish, Neil MacRae, Greg Telfer, Clark Nelson and Gordon Sangster. The team, expertly captained by John Laurie, beat Argyle and Bute 7.5 to 1.5 The result somewhat belies the competitive nature of every match but the strength of the team and their resolve to win got us a great result. This means that we have qualified for the final stages of the event for the first time in some years. The final matches will be played at Hilton Park on 7th and 8th of September. The other qualifiers are Angus, Renfrewshire and Perth & Kinross so some great matches await our team in a few months.
