2015 Ayrshire Foiurball Champions David & George McCulloch (Brunston Castle) |
George McCulloch (6) was giving shots to his brother David (10), Andy Macleod (12) and John Cook (13) in the better ball matchplay format and it was the defending champions who stormed to an early lead,, which they never relinquished.
An par four was good enough to give the Brunston Castle pair the opening hole and a nett birdie three from David McCulloch also gave them the second hole.
A par three at the third was sufficient to extend the brunston castle team's lead to three holes after three, which remained the score all the way to the turn, with the remaining holes in the outward half being halved in pars.
A birdie three at the tenth hole extended the Brunston Castle lead to four holes and a nett birdie three at the eleventh from David McCulloch put his team five in front with seven remaining.

The challengers from Rowallan Castle needed to make a quick impression to avoid a heavy defeat and did so at the next hole, an eagle two from John Cook reducing the deficit to four. The fightback continued when the Rowallan Castle pair birdied the thirteenth hole to reduce the defisit to three holes, but the title holders rallied over the closing holes, with successive pars from the fourteenth being good enough to halve the next three holes and give Brunston castle victory by 3 & 2.
Ayrshire Golf association Vice President John Rushbury, who refereed the final, presentd vouchers to both teams at ther end of the match before handing over the trophy, for the second successive year, to David & George McCulloch of Brunston Castle.
