TOP TWENTY FINISH FOR CALLUM

Tulliallan’s Callum Macaulay made a good showing in the Pacific Rubiales Colombia Golf Classic at the weekend with a level par score of 288  (75-70-69-74) giving him a share of 14^th place and leaving him eight shots behind the winner. 

Examining his scores shows that the good work in the second and third rounds was neutralised by over-par scores in the first and last rounds. Once again it shows that Callum has the golf game to compete at the highest levels in golf, but at the same time, any over-par scores in individual rounds greatly diminish the chances of taking a top spot. And that’s where the big rewards lie.  

Although dropping to sixth in the Challenge Tour rankings after two events, Callum must be confident for the upcoming Challenge Tour events.  The next event is at the end of March in Kenya, and it’s not until May that the Challenge Tour events in Europe come on stream.

DECISION TIME FOR DOLLAR

Clackmannan County golfers and officials will be wishing Dollar Golf Club every success at the Scottish Golf Dinner next week in their quest to take the top Junior Club Award.

County President George Kay is hopeful.

“Being one of four golf clubs nominated for the award gives them a good chance of being recognised as the top Scottish Golf Club for Junior Development, and it would be a great boost for Dollar and Clackmannan County if they were successful,” he said.

Best of luck, guys!
