A SCRATCH 34 and scratch 41 on the inward half combined with a handicap of 11 secured Neil Brodie the Mersey Police Cup.
Near galeforce winds and occasional icy showers lashed Dunaverty to give the 28 competitors a tough time last Saturday.
As the morning progressed and the wind grew stronger, Grant Edmondson and Stuart MacBrayne set the pace, both recording net 68s, but Stuart, with a better inward half, took the lead position.
