KEVIN THOMSON WINS NORTH SCOTTISH ALLIANCE AT MORAY NEW

By ALAN COWIE
North Scottish Golfers Alliance secretary
Kevin Thomson of the home club won Saturday's North Scottish Golfers' Alliance rescheduled fixture on Moray's New Course by two strokes, carding a level par 69. Halves of 36 and 33, starting with three straight bogeys, adding one more were countered by birdies at the 9th, 12th, 14thand 18th.
Rothes Golf Club players dominated the handicap section with Paul Masson winning section one and Barry Mellis section two both earning a one shot handicap reduction in the process.
After a week of disqualification stories elsewhere, there was nothing more mundane than four unsigned cards!
