The Clubs Invitational Silloth competition took place on 8th June, its a competition where a member invites a golfer from another club to play in a pairs competition. The winners of the trophy were Anton Larner and his partner Graham Souness, Anton is seen above being presented with the trophy by the sponsor Matthew Craigie.

With a number of golf clubs struggling to get members to stay and use the facilities after they play, it was great to see a very full bar. Over 90 players took part in the competition

The 2025 R&A 9 hole stableford competition has a regional Final at Bonnybridge Golf Club near Falkirk in June. Each Club is allowed to put forward a pair following a dedicated 9 hole stableford pairs competition. Our event took place on Sunday 27th April and the winners Ralph Rennie and Raymond Henderson won the comp with an aggregate score of 43. However they were unable to commit to the dates in June, so our runners up will represent the Club. What better way of picking your golfing partner than having a father and son playing for MOCGC. Andrew and Blair Murray had a combined score of 37. The best is still to come as qualifiers from the Scottish regional event will play in the Final, at Royal Portrush the week before The Open

Martin Mulligan is the winner of the “Captain’s Cup” this year. Martin is a new member to the Club this year so well done. The Captain, Billy Alexander, although he played in the competition, was unable to present the trophy, so we volunteered a past Captain. Here you can see Alex McGregor presenting the Cup to Martin.

The first Medal of the new season is named after the first winner of the Open on our course. As you can see it was won by Grant Campbell.

The Club held their Presentation Night at the Masonic Hall on Saturday 29th March, to celebrate the major winners throughout the last year. Following the formalities a buffet was on offer and we then had live music, obviously the bar was open too. The pictures show the winners with their trophies, some dubious outfits and some dubious dancing. The following day their were a few sore heads on the tee

With all the history and reputation our club has with that piece of land we know as the Old Course, our Hickory Championship has special meaning to the Club. Last year a previous Club Champion won, as Ross Noon was victor. This year another previous Club Champion Euan Glen was the our new Hickory Champion. Here is seen being presented by our Club Captain Billy Alexander.
