EDINBURGH AND EAST OF SCOTLAND ALLIANCE REPORT AND SCORES

FROM ALAN GREENSHIELDS

Secretary/Treasurer

Edinburgh and East of Scotland Alliance

After the disappointment of having to abandon our outing last week at Royal Musselburgh (now re-scheduled for 7thNov) we headed to The Roxburghe  and a healthy field of 88 made their way to the Borders.

Winner of the Michael Allan Memorial Trophy today was Keir McNicholl (Gullane) fresh from his excellent 2nd place scratch in the recent Scottish Golfers' Alliance 2012 Championship at Monifieth and Arbroath Links. Keir has a gross 69 which was matched by Andrew Oldcorn (Kings Acre) who was pipped by a countback which came down to the last 3 holes.

The two 69's were also the top Scratch scores today with 3rd place going to new member Jamie McLeary(Dalmahoy) and Challenge Tour player  one shot further back on 70.

In the handicap stakes Daniel Airens of Falkirk Tryst was top scorer with net 72 (81 less 9) closely followed in 2nd place was Alan MacKay (Kingsknowe) net 73 (76 less 3) and 3rd place going to our Vice-President Steven Doyle (Liberton) net 74 (80 less 6).
