Alloa cruised to a win in the 2011 Clackmannan County Club Foursomes tournament at Dollar, finishing five up against the home team. In the semi-final ties, Alloa beat Braehead 3 up--- the match was tight for the first nine holes, but Alloa forged ahead over the inward nine In the other semi-final, Dollar (who beat Tulliallan in a first round tie) came through at the first extra hole against Alva thanks to a 12 ft birdie putt by Scott Borrowman.

IT'S A DOUBLE DOUBLE AT DOLLAR IN BOYS' GOLF
History was made in the County Boys Match Play championships when both the Junior and Senior Stroke Play Boys Champions went on to take the Match Play titles as well. In the under 14 final, between two stylish golfers, Braehead’s Brian McAdam took on Alloa’s Angus Boyd….. Brian looked to have the match comfortably in his grasp standing 4 up with 6 to play—Angus had other ideas and fought back winning three quick holes, and just missed out taking the match down the last hole. In the senior Boys event, Alva’s Lawrence Allan wasted no time with a sub par performance against Braehead’s Rikky Alexander, winning on the 12th green to retain his 2010 title
RESULTS
ANDERSON TROPHY McAdam beat Boyd 2/1
PONTON SHEILD Allan beat Alexander 8/6
GOOD PERFORMANCE FROM COUNTY GOLF TEAM
The six man county team travelled to Prestwick last weekend, and put Clackmannanshire on the golfing map of Scotland……again. In difficult windy conditions and competing against the other 15 golfing areas, the County team could hold their heads high with an 8th equal position… not bad for the smallest golfing area in Scotland. County President George Kay was delighted with the result “ Over the shorter Prestwick St Nicholas course, the team returned the 4th best team score of the day--- just a pity that bogeys at the last hole cost both Darren Hulston and Scott Borrowman sub par rounds.” Bill Hatley was very pleased…” There was a good team spirit and it was good to see Scott Borrowman finding some form--- on the longer Prestwick course he was below par on the outward nine but dropped shots after that. Nevertheless his aggregate of 145 (70, 75) gave him an 8th placing out of 96 in the individual event. The top four Area scores qualified for the final, so the Wee County was not too far away---- well done boys!!”

WELL TRAVELLED COUNTY GOLFERS.
With the golf season well under way, Clackmannan county golfers are packing their golf clubs and moving out to play in several events. LAWRENCE ALLAN will be playing at the Rowallan course at Kilmaurs in Ayrshire in the 72 hole Junior tour event this weekend. This new course with a par of 71 stretches to 6709 yards and is the first course designed by Colin Montgomerie in the UK---- uniquely it has a proper golf 19th hole!
BOB STEWART and PHIL DEMPSEY compete in the Scottish Seniors Spring Open at Montrose; SCOTT BORROWMAN is one of the 14 Scots playing in the Welsh Open Stroke Play this weekend at St Pierre, South Wales…. And don’t forget the local golf administrators who play in the Belhaven Captains and Secretaries Regional finals—at Dunfermline this week, with TULLIALLAN ( James Maley and Robert Nimmo) and DOLLAR ( Dugdale Bradley and Douglas Caren) competing . For the rest of the Wee County golf club members, there are always the SUMMER MEETINGS at Tulliallan and Alloa on Saturday…. Late entries are being accepted, even on the day of the competition.
