Midland Alliance

Alan Lockhart wins with 68 at Balbirnie Park

By LEE SUTHERLAND, Ballumbie Castle GC professional
This week the Midland Golfers' Alliance held their meeting at Balbirnie Park in Fife. The weather had an effect on the turn-out but a few braved the rain to return some fine scores. Leading the way in the scratch was Ladybank assistant pro Alan Lockhart with a superb, three-under-par 68.
Best handicap score returned was a 72 off 12 by David Black (Dunfermline).
