Borders v Stirlingshire

Today’s 1st rnd of 2023 Scottish Area Team Championship was played at Peebles GC in glorious conditions. With the format being 3 foursomes in the morning and 6 singles in the afternoon. Leading for the Borders in the 1st game was the Peebles Duo of Jamie Morris and Kris Hopkirk who combined well to win there game 2&1. The 2nd pairing certainly had a different feel with Allan Turnbull of Peebles passing on his experience to young debutant Aaron Borthwick of Hirsel and the Two of them played well together with Allan in aw of the young man’s power which helped them to a 2&1 victory. The next pair from Torwoodlee of Simon Fairburn and Ewan Gunter once again proved a great pairing extending there winning run together in the foursomes to 3 Wins out of 3 with a 5&3 victory.So at the halfway stage Borders has a 3v0 advantage. Now onto the singles with Jamie Morris leading us out in a hard fought match Jamie came up short loosing on the last hole. Next was Simon Fairburn who got of to a bad start but fought till the end but also got beat on the last hole. Like Simon Kris didn’t get of to the best start loosing the first 5 holes but battled hard but came up short. Game all square at this stage so all to play for with Ewan and Aaron and Allan out there trying to get the 2 wins needed for victory. Allan came up with the goods playing some great golf to ease to a 5&4 victory. Then in another tense game Ewan Gunter managed to get the point on the board winning at the last in another last hole shootout thankfully going the Borders way to make sure of the victory. Aaron locked in some battle think there was never more than 1 hole in it but his opponent once again managed to squeeze a win on the last hole but certainly can be proud of himself well done Aaron. A very exciting game and hats of to Stirlingshire for a great fight back but just wasn’t enough in the end. Both teams retired to the clubhouse where they were well fed and watered by the catering staff so thanks for a great day Peebles GC .

Final Result
Borders 5 v 4 Stirlingshire
Well done Team 👌

So onto our next game away to the Lothians at West Lothian GC on the 4th June.

Thanks David Gillie Team Captain

The Border Golfers Association are saddened to learn of the sudden death of former Borders team member Ian Frizzel. Ian was a very talented golfer who played for the Border team many times over the last couple of decades. He won the prestigious BGA Challenge trophy along with his great friend Mike Thomson in 1991 and played in many summer league matches and border club events as well as Scottish events. Ian was a multiple club champion winning championships at both Torwoodlee and Galashiels over the years. He was well known throughout the Borders not only for golf but also in Football.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
