NORMAN ROSE BLOOMS IN MURRAY CUP QUALIFIER
Northern's Norman Rose led the qualifiers at the Kings Links today in the Aberdeen Links championships' Murray Cup competition for 10 - 24 handicaps. His net total of 128 (10 under the CSS) was enough for a six-shot cushion over clubmate Tony Butler.
Bon Accord's Willie Guyan was third on 138 with Derek Daniel of the Caley next on 139. Reigning champion Frank Kennedy (Bon Accord) squeezed in on 146 as the qualifying mark rose to 148.

STATEMENT BY DAVIE GRIEVE
Secretary of Aberdeen Links championshipsI can report that in 30+ years of playing in the Links Championships and my third year as secretary i have never heard so many complaints from the players of all clubs regarding the general condition of the course and especially the putting surfaces.
Since taking over from the City Council last year, Sport Aberdeen has let the course get into a sorry state. Lack of water on the greens and lack of marked GUR areas seems to be the biggest bones of contention but the general state of all parts of the course is a big concern for all who play it.
In spite of various e-mails from members of all the courses under the tenure of Sport Aberdeen and several meetings with their representatives, the courses seem to be regressing in condition. We all realise that budgets are extremely tight in all organisations at present but a lot of the problems could be dealt with at very little cost.
Hopefully, someone at Sport Aberdeen can grab this situation by the scruff of the neck and put into place a program for improving course conditions at the Kings Links, Balnagask and Hazlehead's once great courses.
