AYRSHIRE GOLF ASSOCIATION - Irvine are 2008 Club Champions

On a breezy day that made conditions tricky, the team from the host club secured the Ayrshire Club Champions title, for the second time in three years, when 13 club sides contested the championship over the Irvine (Bogside) course on Sunday 6th July.
