NO JOY AT SENIORS FOR BOB
Although Tulliallan’s Bob Stewart finished with a disappointing third round in the British Seniors championship, held last week over Old Prestwick, he can be well pleased with his first two round efforts.
In difficult conditions, Bob carded two rounds of 76 to put him only two shots behind the leaders; howevcr in his third and final round, his putting touch deserted him and he fell back down the field with an 87 and a final 3 round total of 239.
Best home performance came from former Clackmannanshire player Tony Stafford who finished only three shots behind the winner Derek Vallis (Bermuda) and was the only Scot in the top twelve of the event.
Bob Stewart is in action this week in the European Seniors in Ascona, Switzerland as part of the Scottish contingent. He then plays in the North of Scotland seniors at Nairn Dunbar where he will be hoping to improve his 11th equal position in the Seniors Order of Merit.
CALLUM BACK IN ACTION
After a short break, Tulliallan’s Callum Macaulay will be back in action in the coming weeks, first in the KLM Dutch Open and then the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles. The latter event will be a great opportunity for local golfers to see Callum in action and give him some local support in his bid to move up the European Tour rankings with a good performance
Callum won many friends when he put in an appearance at the Dollar Challenge last week with a “beat the Pro” event. The event was a pitching challenge and any golfer putting his shot closer to the hole than Callum was awarded a certificate.
Local junior Gary Chalmers, who was caddying for Wallace Booth in the event, did it in style with a pitch past the pin and a bit of backspin back into the hole. Altogether a good day with fine golf from the 4 top Scottish golfers as well.
STANDARD LIFE GOLD MEDAL
Dollar’s Scott Borrowman finished in the middle of the field last weekend at Leven Links with a four round total of 290 (75,71,75,69) some way behind the winner Philip Mclean (Peterhead) who won with a four round total of 270.
BELHAVEN BEST SCOTTISH CLUB HANDICAP CHAMPIONSHIP
In the Regional final of the event held at Piperdam Golf course near Dundee, Tulliallan’s Hugh McGlashan and Colin Drummond returned a two over par 74, finishing outside the qualifying score for the National Final. This week sees the Dollar team (Andrew Ure, Ken Christie) and Braehead team (Steven Skelton, Martin Kaney) in action at Prestonfield also trying to win a qualifying place.
