CROWE AND DICK SHARE

NEWLANDS TROPHY LEAD

Anglo-Scot Ross Crowe (Westerhope) and Kingsknowe’s Allyn Dick set the first-round pace with one-under-par 69s in the first round of this weekend’s SGU Order of Merit 72-hole event, the Newlands Trophy, at Lanark Golf Club.
Dick, pictured left by Cal Carson Golf Agency, won the Scottish mid-amateur championship in 2005 and 2006 when he was a Shotts GC member. Last year he won the Cameron Corbett Vase 72-hole event at Haggs Castle.
Mark Bookless (Sandyhills), holder of the Newlands Trophy, left himself a lot of ground to make up after opening with a 75.
