A fine but cold morning greeted our two finalists for the 2015 Handicap Matchplay event with Adam Beltchev facing off against Matthew Gourlay.
Despite losing the first hole it was Adam that had the better of the early going and after making a nice up and down for par on the 7th he went to 3 up. However Matthew dug in, making the most of his extra shot on the 8th before starting to get a handle on the cold and soft conditions and with Adam struggling off the tee a win on the 12th saw Matt put his nose in front.
From here the remaining holes were a seesawing battle with players trading hole victories and after 18 the match was still all square. Matching bogies on the 19th saw players move to the 20th where Adam took the advantage, chipping to under the hole and making a nice par putt to beat Matt's bogey.
So the final result for the 2015 Handicap Matchplay sees Adam Beltchev as our champion, defeating Matt Gourlay on the 20th hole.
