TULLIALLAN MISS OUT
In the 2010 Scottish Club Championship final at Fortrose and Rosemarkie, Tulliallan Golf Club missed out on a place in the European final when they finished in eighth place in the 36 hole event--- best two scores from three to count---- with a score of 287 (Mark Crichton 69, 74; Steven Horne 74, 82; Gordon Lyons 74,70). Winning team was Carrickvale Golf Club with a team total of 277.
CALLUM STAYS IN TOUCH
Showing an improvement in golfing form, Tulliallan’s Callum Macaulay made his third cut in a row at the European Tour's Vivendi Championship in France last week.
Opening with rounds of 70 and 72, he showed some good form with a 67 in the third round, but three bogeys in the closing stages of his final round left him in 46 equal position - fourth best Scot. In the previous weeks he made the halfway cut in Kazakhstan and Moscow. Consistent form is eluding him at present, but hopefully it will reappear soon.
EYES ON THE RYDER CUP
Avid golf enthusiasts will be following three days of Ryder Cup action at Celtic Manor from Friday when a strong European team take on America. Older golfers in Clackmannanshire may remember the great honour that Norman Wood brought to Alva Golf Club when he was selected for the GB 1975 Ryder Cup team.which played in America against a strong USA team.
Although losing his foursomes and four ball events, he recorded a fine win against Lee Trevino by 2 and 1 in his singles.
Norman hit his first golf shots over Alva golf course in 1962, eventually taking up a golf professional post at Royal Guernsey Golf Club. The UK team lost heavily in 1975 and shortly afterwards the team selection was widened to include golfers from the continent of Europe.
TOP SCOTTISH LADIES EVENT AT ALLOA
It was a great honour for Alloa Golf Club to host the Adult/junior lady foursomes event on Sunday, organised by the Scottish Ladies Golfing Association.
The event was designed to encourage the development of Junior Ladies and it was well supported with 42 couples taking part - sadly none from Clackmannanshire - and the fine sunny weather was a good promotion for Schawpark.
The winning couple was father/daughter Colin Turner/ Caitlin Turner from Baberton/Swanston with a Stableford score of 38 points.
