Scottish Croquet Association 
22-23 May 2004, Meadows
Five players contested the Scottish Masters this year, with handicaps ranging from scratch to 3½. It was decided to run the event as an American block followed by a knock-out; the bottom player in the block would drop out, top would play fourth and second would play third. A suggestion that all games should then count in the final decision about who had won was rejected on the grounds that the final game could then be meaningless.
24 May 2004, Auchincruive
Auchincruive extended its usual hospitality to the players who came from across the breadth, if not the length, of Scotland to represent their clubs in this year's contest. From east to west, they were Fergus McInnes (Edinburgh, handicap 4), Alan Wilson (Powfoulis, 9) and Joe Lennon (Glasgow, 18). The home club was represented by Steven Boyne (20), who was playing in his first ever tournament but clearly had a good grasp of both stroke-making and break tactics. The sun shone, though a cool breeze blew from time to time; the lawn was in excellent playing condition; and several spectators, including three generations of the Smith family, turned out to join the players and manager for afternoon tea.

Where to start? Well the weather was great. The Scots were too good for us. The restaurant on Saturday night turned out to be a disappointment. But this was compensated by Sheila's excellent daily fare. The teams were:-
Scotland - Bruce Rannie (0), Jim Taggart (4), Jamieson Walker (7) and Alan Wilson (9)
CN - Peter McDermott (2.5), Derek Watts (5), Phil Errington (7) and David Turner (10).
Day one went much to form and ended five games all.
