JOURNAL CUP REPORT 

FROM GEORGE YOUNG

North-east District Secretary

On a lovely day for golf we had some good scores at Aboyne Golf Club and also some high scores with everything from a "one" to a 12!

Sam Griffiths (Duff House Royal) had a hole-in-one with a seven-iron at the 12th (175yd) in his morning round. His playing partners were Ray Gordon (Aboyne) and Ron Evett (Northern).

Newmachar won the Journal Cup with a team total of 427, made up of scores of  136 from Chris Lamb (70 66), 144 from Calvin Cheyne (71 73) and 147 from Mike Lynch (78 69)

Fraserburgh (436) were runners-up and Meldrum House (437) in third place.

Last year's winners Hazlehead finished with a total of 453.
