DALMAHOY PLAYER WINS JOHN GLEN TROPHY AT GULLANE NO 3

By ALAN GREENSHIELDS
Edinburgh and East of Scotland Alliance secretary
The Edinburgh and East of Scotland Alliance started back after the festive break and 101 members enjoyed a calm day on a very well manicured No 3 course at Gullane with less than a handful of no returns evidencing their enjoyment.
Scoring was excellent and fresh from their Braids Invitational win the duo of Robert Cunningham (Dalmahoy) and Darren Love (Archerfield) fought each other to secure The John Glen Trophy.
Robert's net 61 (73 less 12) was just enough to ease past Darren's net 62 (73 less 11). Robert had a fantastic level par front nine of 34 and although he slipped to a 5 over par 39 on the back nine, Darren's inward challenge of 35 just fell short of the mark.
Third handicap place went to Musselburgh man Gerry Wilson with net 63 (73 less 10).
Scratch scoring was equally close and top score went to Scott Catlin (Greenburn) with 62, one shot better than the 63s secured by Gullane trainee Keir McNicoll and David Patrick of Elie. While Keir set the pace on the front nine with 4 under 30 it was the back nine of four under by Scott that secured the top prize.
The remaining scratch prizes all went to professionals with the fourth prize split three ways.
There were few changes in both orders of merit.
Handicap saw Sean McGarvey gain five points but otherwise the top 3 are unchanged -
1. Daniel Airens (Falkirk Tryst) - 112.5
2. Sean McGarvey (Glencorse) - 103.0
3. Steven Dand (Pumpherston) - 94.5
Scratch saw Sean McGarvey swap places with Andrew Marshall -
1. Stephen Lamb (Cardrona) - 417.5
2. Sean McGarvey (Glencorse) - 400.0
3. Andrew Marshall (Houston DR) - 394.0
Senior prize went to East Alliance stalwart Peter Ritchie (Bathgate) with a net 65 (74 less 9)
In two weeks we move a few miles along the coast to The Glen at North Berwick.
