It was a wild and weekend up in Courtenay for the Ramsay Lampman Rhodes Scotch Pairs Tournament. The event, which ran June 1 & 2 had dreary, chilly and spitting rain, with Sunday having some of the toughest conditions in which to play. Although Parksville was well represented, we were blanked out by three other clubs and their teams. First place and top prize went to the home team of Wayne and Leone King of Courtenay. Dean Penny and Hal Gray, also of Courtenay, earned second place. Third went to Nanaimo’s Vern Hagstrom and Linda Cooper. Courtenay’s April Gilchrist and Vern Greenhill took fourth while the father -daughter team of Erik Ewen and Luci Ewen of Qualicum Beach earned fifth place winnings.
