WILLIE SHAW HAS HOLE IN ONE AT FIRST NE ALLIANCE COMPETITION

NEWMACHAR AMATEURS DUFF, LAMB

LEAD THE WAY AT CRAIBSTONE

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Two Newmachar amateurs claimed the scratch honours at the first North-east Golfers' Alliance competition of the season at Craibstone Golf Club, Bucksburn.
John Duff and 20-year-old Chris Lamb were the only players in the field of 70 to score under par with one-under 68s.

Duff, pictured right, was two over par after bogeys at the first and eighth but he covered the last 10 holes in three under par with birdies at the ninth, short 12th, 16th (where he got up and down from a bunker) and the 18th in an inward 32.
"I drove the ball well all day and started to hit my approach shots close from the ninth onwards," said Duff who hasn't decided where his golfing future lies. 
He has a very good record over the past two or three seasons in the North-east Alliance but John knows that's not a strong enough spur to turn pro. If he had a backer/sponsor, I get the impression he would give it a go.
Lamb, a full-time amateur at 

the moment, birdied the 

fourth, short sixth, ninth and 

16th in two halves of 34. 

He had bogeys at the second,
seventh and 15th 

The best outward half of 33 was achieved by three players - the two in joint third place, Craibstone-based teaching pro Lee Vannet, a former British boys champion from Carnoustie, and Nick Macandrew (Royal Aberdeen), and also Gaetan Dillon (Kemnay).
Vannet, who went out of bounds for a double bogey 6 at the 16th,  and Macandrew came home in 37 for 70s but Dillon required 40 shots - including double bogeys at the 11th and 17th. 
Aboyne teenager Kimberley Beveridge, who makes her Women's Home Internationals debut for Scotland at Aberdovey, Wales later this month, made her Alliance debut today. She was disappointed with a round of 84 but Craibstone is not a course she knows well.
Her older brother Keil, teaching pro at Kippie Lodge Sports Club, Milltimber, also played and returned a 77, with an inward half of 41.
Surprisingly on a comparatively nice, wind-free day,  the number of "No Returns" was well into double figures - a high percentage in a comparatively small field of 70


Banchory nine-handicapper Willie Shaw, [pictured right, earned a £50 voucher with a hole in one with an eight-iron at the 158yd 10th hole. It was his fourth hole over a 20-year span. Willie finished with an 82 with the proverbial game of two halves - 47 for the first nine, and 35 for the second. 
+All our best wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery go to Alliance joint-sec Dave Wilson who had a heart attack after Monday night's AGM. He is currently in hospital and is to have a stent inserted in an artery.

Handicap prizewinners:
Class 1 -  C Carnegie (Kemnay) (4), G Dillon (Kemnay) (5) 68; N Duncan (Murcar Lins) (8), J Emslie (Royal Aberdeen) (3) 69; T Robertson (Peterculter) (4) 70.
Class 2 - G Mackie (Caledonian) (11) 67; D Craigie (Peterculter) (11), S Melvin (Newmachar) (13) 71; R Duncan (Deeside) (12) 72; D Townsley (Peterculter) (13) 73
