HUGH HUNTER'S CLACKMANNAN COUNTY NEWS
SUCCESS FOR CLACKMANNAN GOLFERS
Following on from Jamie Stevenson’s sixth place and Ken Thomson’s third equal place recently in the Midland Alliance event at Alyth recently, Clackmannan county golfers Bob Stewart (Tulliallan) and Ray Barton (Alloa) teamed up with L Bushby (Blairgowrie) and A McEwan (Carnoustie) to take the top team prize in the Midland Alliance Pro Am at Ladybank last week.
With the best two net scores counting, they finished on 130, to give them a two shot win. Normally, a team consists of three amateurs teamed with a professional, but in their case Bob, as the low handicap amateur, took on the professional role, leading the team well.
In the scratch section Braehead professional Jamie Stevenson shared second place with a level par 71, one shot behind the leading score of 70.
The 54 hole 2011 Scottish Alliance Championships take place this week at Buchanan Castle, and five local golfers: R Stewart (Tulliallan), R Barton, A Glass, C Westland, K Thomson (all Alloa) will be competing in the field of over 70 drawn from all the Alliance golfers in Scotland.
GLENEAGLES CHANCE FOR LOCAL BOY GOLFERS
The Highland Spring Junior Masters Final takes place this weekend over the Queen's course, Gleneagles. Eighty-one qualifiers (51 boys, 30 girls) will compete for the 2011 title, and Clackmannan boys Gregor McEwan and Brian McAdam (both Alloa) will be hoping for a good performance in the handicap event.
The number of junior club golfers in the county is diminishing. Hopefully, local Clubs will be taking some initiatives to recruit new Junior members.
