Jack Adams Trophy. Wednesday July 26th. Queens, Yellow Tees.
An impressive field of 27 took part in our final Wednesday event of the season on the Queens. With perfect weather throughout the day and the course in amazing condition low scores were expected and we weren’t disappointed:
36 points from Craig Scott (who had 2 two’s!), Andrew Watson and Iain Aitchison (who also had 2 twos!) were only good enough for a share of 6th place. Sharing 3rd were David Logie (gross 66!), Kevin Beattie and David Watt. The runner up with a very impressive 39 points was Thomas McCulloch but the runaway winner with his best ever gross score of 69 and an awesome 43 points was our Club Captain Frank Johnson.
Congratulations to Frank and thanks for giving us all hope that our best ever round might still be ahead of us.

History: The Jack Adams (Jnr) Stableford Trophy first awarded in 1996 Jack Adams had been a member of Dun Whinny for a number of years and was a larger than life American whose home town was Carmel in California. Jack was a retired Vice President of the Crocker Bank and looked after many prestigious golfing clients in Carmel. He purchased property at Gleneagles and for many years he spent the summer months here and the winter months in Carmel. He became a popular member of the Dun Whinny and his wife Willene, also a keen golfer, was at one time the Captain of the Dunbracken Ladies. In the mid 1990’s Jack became unwell and decided that he would have to settle and remain in California and he expressed a wish to donate a trophy to Dun Whinny to reflect the years of enjoyment he had as a member. The trophy is a simple hardwood base on which is mounted a sliver plate with the winner’s names and on top which is placed a glass molding of a golfer. Jack became known as “the big American” – he was over 6’0” tall and weighed conservatively more than 20 stone. Both he and his wife had great sense of humor and were very generous with their hospitality.
