EDINBURGH AND EAST OF SCOTLAND ALLIANCE REPORT

By Alan Greenshields, secretary and treasurer
Another good day of weather saw 107 players from the Edinburgh and East of Scotland Golfers Alliance head to Dalmahoy West Course to compete for the Pitreavie Trophy.
Best Scratch and Handicap scores were the same number of 63.
While Craig Gordon (Edinburgh Golf Centre) and Andrew Oldcorn (King's Acre) shared the top scratch prize with five-under-par 63s, the trophy headed in the direction of Falkirk via William Miller.
The Falkirk Tryst member returned a gross 72 (38-34) less ninefor a net 63 and he had a better inward half (29.5) compared with 31 by Oldcorn and 33 by Gordon.
This is the third Alliance trophy of the season which has gone to a Falkirk Tryst member, following a double success by Daniel Airens.
Second handicap prizes with net 64s were shared by John Denham (Galashiels) 70 less six, Richard Myles (Prestonfield) 69 less five and Peter Sewell (West Linton) 70 less six.
All the scratch prizes went to the professional ranks and third prize (after Oldcorn and Gordon) went to Ryan Buckley (Craigielaw) 65. Fourth place was shared by David Patrick (Elie) and Daniel Wood (The Hirsel) with 66.
Daniel Wood also had his first hole in one as a professional at the 116yard 16th hole.
Trainee Professional Prize went to Richard MacKenzie-Smith of King's Acre with 72.
Senior Prize was won by Stephen Gilhooley (Duddingston) with a net 66 (73 less seven).
