SIXTEEN members of Tarbert Golf Club gathered at a blustery Glenralloch for the first round of the Fyne Tankard. The four golfers who played in the 8am ballot had some awful showers to contend with. Messrs Blair and MacTaggart shared the clubhouse lead with net 67.
The later starters had less rain to deal with but conditions did remain difficult as a swirling wind became a factor in play.
Archie Black moved to the top of the leader board with a net 65. Archie was out on level par 33, and was level par for the first three holes of the back nine, but unfortunately went out of bounds at both the 13th and 15th holes to set him back to 42.
