Edinburgh & East of Scotland Golfers' Alliance
Gallacher Trophy meeting at Peebles Golf Club
By KEITH LIDDLE
Ninety-seven East Alliance members contested the outing at Peebles Golf Club. Conditions were tricky, windy with occasional showers, but the scoring was extremely good.
The overall winner of the Bernard Gallacher Trophy was Peebles professional Craig Imlah with a fine score of 64, six under par.
In the scratch section, Gareth Wright (West Linton), out in the first match, set a very high standard by returning a five-under-par 65. This was equalled by Scott Catlin (Greenburn) in match number five. These scores were in equal top spot until Craig Imlah, out in the last match, went one better.
After a dropped shot at the first hole, Craig started things moving with birdies at the fourth and fifth holes. He also had an eagle 3 at the ninth, for an outward half of 32. On the back nine, Craig had another eagle, this time at the 319yd par-4 13th and finished off with a birdie 4 to come home in 32.
New member Philip Leggate (Musselburgh) won the top handicap prize with a net 67 off nine.
Philip started steadily, but had a few wobbles on the back nine. However, he managed coax a 25ft putt in at the last for a birdie 4.
Philip just squeezed past scratch player Colin Fraser (Peebles) who had a 68, Andrew Rothney (Deer Park) with a 68 off one and Stuart Smith (Duddingston), adding on two shots for a 68.
Overall winner - CRAIG IMLAH (Peebles) 64.
