HUGH HUNTER'S CLACKMANNAN COUNTY NEWS
BIG WEEK FOR BOB
Top Clackmannan county senior golfer Bob Stewart (Tulliallan) is in action this week at Irvine in the Scottish seniors championship, a title he won in 2007 at Elgin.
Bob leads the 2011 Seniors Order of Merit with 335 points, thanks to a run of good form, and, of course, he will be hoping this will continue. Close behind Bob is Graham Bell (Downfield) with 322 points, and they are both lead the rest of the Scottish Senior golfers by about 60 points.
Phil Dempsey, also Tulliallan, is further back in 19th place with 82.5 points.
WEE COUNTY CHALLENGE IN THE SCOTISH AMATEUR.
For the Scottish amateur championship, to be held at Western Gailes at the end of July, the entry of 256 contains four locals representing four of the local Clubs.
Double Clackmannan junior champion Lawrence Allan (Alva) has his first go at the event, and is joined by Jamie Aitken (Alloa), big-hitting Scott Moffat, the Clackmannan match-play champion, representing Braehead, and finally Scott Borrowman (Dollar) who reached the later stages of the event in 2008 - the year that Callum Macaulay won at Carnoustie.
In the R and A World rankings, Lawrence has just moved ahead of Scott with a ranking of 2096. Among Scottish golfers, he is ranked 67th--- pretty good in a golfing population of well over 100,000.
MISSED CUT FOR CALLUM
After a run of reasonable golf scoring on the Challenge Tour, Tulliallan’s Callum Macaulay just missed out on another pay day at the Scottish Hydro Challenge at Spey Valley. He missed the cut by several shots with a four-over-par score of 146 (71-75).
Callum moves to the next Challenge Tour event, to be played at the Swedish National golf course near Stockholm this week. It’s a serious test of golf, measuring just over 7,400 yards with two holes measuring over 600 yards (eighth at 639yds and 18th at 601yds).
He will be hoping to move his Challenge Tour ranking of around 70 towards the top twenty.
ON THE LOCAL GOLF SCENE
Two top events are contested locally this weekend - the 2011 County Mixed Fours Team Championship is being held at Dollar on Sunday 3rd July with holders Alloa hoping to retain the trophy.
At Tulliallan on the same day, the Alexander Trophy is being played. This event is open to clubs in Clackmannan and Stirling--- teams of four golfers play ( with the best three scores to count), and it is pleasing to see five out of the six county clubs fielding teams.
