HUGH HUNTER'S CLACKMANNAN COUNTY NEWS

BILL ABERNETHY

The sudden death of Clackmannan county golf president Bill Abernethy caused great shock within county golf circles.
Bill was a great enthusiast of golf and a tremendous supporter of Braehead Golf Club and Clackmannan County Golf Union, always giving encouragement to golfers His presence at County Golf events will be sadly missed,
Golfers and golfing officials throughout the county would extend sympathies to his family. In a way, it is a nice golfing tribute to Bill that the Braehead professional Jamie Stevenson won the Midland Alliance event at Ladybank last week.

MIDLAND ALLIANCE
In the Ladybank Pro-Am event, Jamie Stevenson (Braehead) won the event with a three under par score of 68 in sunny conditions. Tulliallan’s Bob Stewart tied for second place with a one over par 72. In the four man team event, third place went to Jamie Stevenson, Murdie Gilmour (both Braehead), J Stevenson, K Kilgour (both Dunfermline) with a score of 132.


FRUSTRATING WEEKEND FOR LAWRENCE
After withdrawing from the Paul Lawrie Junior Jug event (which was played) to represent Scotland in the Under 16 match against England at Dinsdale Golf Club near Darlington, Alva’s Lawrence Allan must have been very disappointed to find the fixture abandoned at lunchtime due to heavy rain
Lawrence had been selected to partner Ewan Scott in the top foursomes match and play at third spot in the singles, but the singles were abandoned in the early afternoon after a morning rain delay.


AND FINALLY
In the 72-hole Asian Professional tour event held over a long course at the Taiwan Country Club, Hsieh Min-nam of Taipei made the cut of 151 and finished with two further rounds of 75 and 80 to finish in 47th place.
So what? you might say. Only that he is aged 70 and 59 days, and won the individual and team prizes in the 1972 World Cup of golf.
Hope for us all !!!!
