Renfrewshire Club Team Championship
Fereneze made it a 3rd win in 8 years, and a 2nd in 3 years in this competition having never previously won it prior to 2017. The previous 2 wins were tight affairs, winning by 1 shot or on the countback (coincidentally we lost on the countback last year) but this years was an exception and whilst he’d be the first to say it’s a team game the 10 shot victory is largely down to Callum Macaulay who shot an incredible 63 and set a new course record at Caldwell in doing so.
To put the score into context, the next best score was 71 and no one at Caldwell has broke 70 in a competition this year. Richie Elrick (77) and Davie Miller (73) managed to offset that 8 under for the team to finish on a level par total. Callum’s just joined us this year joining wife Clare Marie and their 2 boys, Evan and Lucas. From what he tells me he’s really settled into being a member with us, specifically how friendly and welcoming everyone is, it’s just the course he’s yet to work out, I’m sure that won’t be too long.
