Mark Chaplin wins first East of Scotland Alliance

By ALAN GREENSHIELDS
I have taken over as Secretary for the Edinburgh and East of Scotland Golfers' Alliance.
The first outing of the 2010/2011 season took place at West Lothian on Wednesday with 68 players challenging for the Ian Ramsay Trophy.
Mark Chaplin, an amateur from Deer Park, was the overall winner, securing the trophy with an excellent net 67 on a better inward half. He held off the 67s from professionals Andy Marshall (Houston Driving Range) and Stevie Lamb (Broomieknowe).
His better inward nine was mainly secured with 2s at the 15th and 18th to bring him home in 32.
Mark also equalled the best scratch score of 67 for the day.
