The final Honour Board event of 2024, Constable & Taylor Day, was held on Saturday, December the 7th, drawing an impressive 56 participants eager to embrace the tradition at the Ayr Golf Club. Despite the rainy weather earlier in the week, the course was in fantastic condition, thanks to the tireless efforts of our volunteers and greenkeeper with their hard work ensuring a seamless event.
Captain Sandra Wight shared a heartfelt moment during the event, reflecting on her visit last year with Dr. Bill Taylor, just before his passing. During their discussion, Dr. Taylor spoke fondly of how both his father, Dr. Taylor, and Dr. Constable were passionate about fostering new friendships through randomly drawn partners. This vision of inclusivity has become a cherished tradition, making Constable & Taylor Day a special occasion each year.
The day was filled with excitement and friendly competition, culminating in a thrilling playoff to determine the next names to grace the Honour Board. The crowd gathered around the playoff hole to witness some exceptional putting, with Patron Pat Lawson delivering a clutch putt for par to secure the victory by a single shot.
Congratulations to Geoff Munro and Pat Lawson, the 2024 Constable & Taylor Day champions! A special mention also went to the runners-up, Donna Reid and Lenny Phillips, who both played brilliantly, with their teams finishing with 44 stableford points.
Equal third place was claimed by Mike Casey and Ross McLaughlin, as well as Charlie Coles and Phil Johnstone, who both scored 42 points. In a tie for fourth place, with 39 points each, were Trevor Jones & Ann Phelan, Robert Potter & Vin Sorbello, and Marion Chappell & Jon Lena.
