On the Sunday of The Open the club runs two competitions in one. A medal round to claim the Claret Jug and before you tee off you draw a golfer in the last round of The Open. The net score plus the pros score combined to lift the Pro Am trophy.
An incredible score by Jackie Brown a gross 77 less 21 giving a net score of 56, winning by a massive 8 shots. The club Captain Gordon Henderson seen with Jackie and “our” Claret Jug. With Musselburgh’s connection to the original trophy this is one of our major competitions and we had a full entry sheet.
As we can not present the Pro Am until the actual Open finishes it was a full club waiting to see who would win. Eddie Whoriskey shot an 80 less 16 for a net score of 64, and luckily he had drawn Thomas Detry as his pro, who shot a 69.
Well done to all that played, and celebrated with the winners.
