BUCKPOOL TO STAGE ROUND 2 OF NE ALLIANCE CHAMPIONSHIP

The second round of the North-east Golfers' Alliance 36-hole championship has been switched from Banchory to Buckpool on Wednesday, March 16. The waterlogged Banchory course, meantime closed, may not re-open in time and, in any case, the "traffic" of a field of around 100 competitors might not be advisable on a very soft course.
The first round is at Duff House Royal, as scheduled, on Wednesday, March 9.
The North-east Alliance fixture on Wednesday, March 2 will be played at Newburgh as per fixture card.
Newburgh was substituted for Craibstone for the first competition of 2011 and at the time it was thought that Craibstone would take over Newburgh's March 2 spot.
But the situation at Craibstone Golf Centre - which is for sale - is not considered ideal to take an Alliance meeting there at the moment and so Newburgh will be the host club a week on Wednesday.
