GREIG HUTCHEON LOOKS BACK ON HIS NORTH-EAST ALLIANCE
FOURSOMES SUCCESS EARLIER TODAY
(scroll down for a full report of both finals)

It was an interesting final with myself and David Fleming taking an early lead - four up through six holes - then complacency set upon us and Scott Larkin and Euan Kennedy, with the help of some birdies, had squared the match by the 12th tee.
We then got to three up again and  dormie. But they applied pressure, won a couple of holes, and the game went to 18.
I was blessed with a very tidy, sharp five-handicapper in Mr Fleming. Although we never played our best as a pair we were never far from par over the two days.
As for the Tartan Tour I'm greatly looking forward to the season teeing off. My big events are obviously the PGA championship at Wentworth and the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles.
I unfortunately will need to request an invite to the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart but I'm hoping they will look upon my request favourably as I put up a good performance last year from the bad side of the draw, finishing 49th and beating two US PGA tour stars whom I was playing with during the final round on Sunday. Of course, I had to finish nine holes of my second round at the crack of dawn Sunday morning.
Nevertheless, greatly looking forward to the coming season and must take this opportunity to thank my local sponsors, Saltire Energy, Anderson, Anderson +Brown and Thistle Windows and Conservatories for their continued support. Without it, I could not endeavour to get a place back on the main tour.
