On a dry, very cold and windy day, 76 members braved the wonderfully challenging course at Eyemouth Golf Club. A big "well done" to everyone who ventured out for this Edinburgh & East of Scotland Alliance competition.
Overall winner of the M Allan Trophy was Gerry Wilson (Musselburgh) with a net 70 off a handicap of 12. Despite dropping two shots at the par-3 third hole, Gerry was out in a very steady 39.
The back nine proved to be a more difficult for him though, with pars hard to come by. He did manage to birdie holes 12 and 17 to be back in 43.
In the scratch section George Wither (Lothianburn) had a great round of two-over-par 74. Out in 34, one under par, George had birdies at the seventh and ninth holes and a bogey at the fifth.
He played the tougher back nine in 40 shots, three over par. Birdies at the 11th and 16th were cancelled out by bogeys at 12, 15 and 18.
George's only major problem, like many today, was at the 607yd, par-5 14th, where he took a 7.
In second equal place were David Patrick (Elie), Scott Catlin (Greenburn) and Mike Thomson (Torwoodlee) with 75.
In the handicap section, Gerry Wilson was three shots clear of Jimmy Rankeillor (Baberton) who returned a net 73.
David Graham (Lochend) was third with net 74. Sharing fourth spot were Ian Taylor (Royal Burgess), Alistair Robertson (Kingsknowe) and Peter Sewell (West Linton) all with net 75s.
Although the weather was a bit unkind, the welcome we got from Eyemouth Golf Club was, as always, very warm.
The next outing is the Invitation Greensomes for the Richardson and Brownlee Trophy to be played over the Braid Hills No.1 course, Edinburgh on December 17.
Harrison Golf Club have kindly allowed us the use of their clubhouse and will provide catering. Their clubhouse is located on the left hand side of the road, before you reach the entrance to the golf course.
