TOM DINGWALL WINS NORTH ALLIANCE AT KINLOSS

FROM ALAN COWIE

Tom Dingwall Assistant Pro at Nairn Dunbar won Saturday’s North Scottish Golfers’ Alliance fixture at his “local” course Kinloss. His familiarity with the course – staying adjacent to the 6^th fairway paid off handsomely when he recorded a four under par 64 to win by three strokes. Starting at the 10^th he recorded birdies at the 12^th, 13^th, 16^th, 17^th 8^th and 9^th against bogeys at the 15^th and 5^th. Although the course was generally wet after a day and a half of rain, the greens especially defied these conditions being quick with some tricky flags.

 

Lowest Handicap score was recorded by Ian Murray from Boat of Garten who scored a nett 63 off 7.
