Lochcarron Golf Open Closely Contested
The annual Lochcarron Golf Open Competition, played on Saturday 9th July, attracted 62 competitors from 12 different clubs spread across Great Britain, with 50% of entrants coming from the home club. This was the 17th consecutive year the event had been held and the man who started it all in 1988, Berwyn Jones, has returned from Wales each year and competed in them all.
