Scottish Seniors stage East of Scotland Open at Kinross

The Scottish Seniors Golfing Society staged their East of Scotland Open here at Kinross on 9th & 10th June 2011.  In total, 97 players entered the strokeplay event played over 2 rounds on The Montgomery.

Apart from a heavy downpour mid morning on the first day, conditions were reasonably favourable for players although the course stood up to its reputation as a challenging layout with the CSS coming in at 75 & 74 on the two days against the official SSS 72.  However, there was some very impressive golf played, not least from Phil Dempsey (Tulliallan) who shot a gross 71 and David Imrie (Thornton) a gross 72 – both in their second rounds.

Storm Damage

Normally, the winter months at Kinross in terms of news on the Golf Courses are desperately quiet and it is a struggle to come up with anything interesting to say. The Green Staff content themselves with tidying up the course with some tree work or hide in the workshops servicing all their equipment for the start of the new season.
