Maybe a wee interest story for you here.

My son and daughter won the Broomieknowe GC club championships at the weekend. It may not be unique but thought it was worth letting you know.

Kate beat fellow county player Hannah Scott in her final by 4 and 3. It was her second win having won it when she was 15.

Jamie beat Kenny Smith by 3 and 2 in his final to get the 'monkey' of his back. His first championship win. He has been the best handicap golfer at the club for a few years but had not won the championship. He won the qualifying on the Saturday previous with scores of 68 & 74.

It now completes a family 'slam'. I won the championship the year Jamie was born 1991 and their mother Caroline won hers ten years ago.

Jamie is 21 and Kate is 18 - their handicaps are scratch and 2 respectively.

Jamie was plus 1 after his 68 but went back up to scratch with the 74.
