NORTH-EAST  ALLIANCE HAS A NEW CAPTAIN

AND NEW SECRETARY

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

  The North-east Golfers' Alliance has a new captain and a new secretary. At last night's annual general meeting in the Craibstone GC clubhouse, David Fleming (Portlethen) stood down as captain. His successor is John Borthwick (Craibstone), pictured below on left.
Keil Beveridge, the Kippie Lodge teaching professional, is vice-captain.

  Michael MacDougall (Paul Lawrie Foundation) retired as secretary and has been replaced by Deeside Golf Club member Alan Gall (pictured below).

The new committee is:
David Fleming (Portlethen)
Peter Low (Craibstone)
Dave Wilson
(Duff House Royal).

Dave Wilson is a former co-secretary of the NE Alliance.


There will be no change in the fees for the 2018-2019 NE Alliance season which will tee off in late August/early September. The annual subscription remains at £40 and competitors will pay £15 per weekly competition.

First task for Alan Gall is to complete and finalise the list of fixtures for the new Alliance season. Michael MacDougall has provisionally booked some of the venues for the early part of the season.

BRUCE THOMSON WINS NORTH SCOTTISH ALLIANCE AT HOPEMAN

Bruce Thomson, a member of Inverness Golf Club, won today's (Sat) North Scottish Golfers' Alliance fixture with a level par 62 over a 16-hole Hopeman Golf Club winter course. Temporary greens were in use and holes 12 and 15 (both par-3s) were closed.
Thomson headed a field of 54 with birdies at the eighth, 16th and 17th, offset by bogeys at the third, seventh and ninth.

He scored his first win of the Alliance season  by one stroke from clubmate Andy Philip who birdied the 10th and 17th but bogeyed the third, eighth and 11th,

Jimmy Macdonald, who plays off 16 at Inverness Golf Club, would have won Section 2 of the handicap but for finishing with a 10 for a net 61 which placed him joint second.

Sean Lawrie wins £140 NE Alliance scratch 

prize with a 62 at Montrose

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Paul Lawrie's nephew Sean Lawrie, also a professional, won the £140 first scratch prize with and eight-under-par 62 in today's North-east Golfers' Alliance at Montrose Links where the start was delayed 40min because of frost and, because of this, winter greens were in use for the first nine holes.

The use of mats for fairway shots was also mandatory but none of this seemed to inconvenience Sean (pictured) on a glorious sunny and wind-free day at the seaside.
He had nine birdies - at the first, second, fifth, seventh, ninth, 10th, 13th, 15th and 17th in halves of four-under 31. His one bogey came at the sixth. 
For Lawrie, who plays out of the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre, it was second win of the Alliance season but his first outright victory of the 2017-18 circuit.
PLGC stablemates David Law (65) and Greig Hutcheon (66) finished second and third and earned £110 and £80 respectively.
Law had seven birdies but bogeys at the fourth and 17th pulled him down to five under par.
Hutcheon saddled himself with a double bogey 6 at the first but it was his only lapse and he went on to shoot six birdies to finish four under.
Nigel Parker (Murcar Links), with a net 63 off 14, won the Class 2 handicap £70 voucher for the second week in a row and organiser Michael MacDougall will ensure that Nigel has fewer strokes to play with next week at Fraserburgh!

Snow and frost rules out NE Alliance fixture at Cruden Bay

Some overnight snow and freezing temperatures resulted in the cancellation of today's North-east Golfers' Alliance competition at Cruden Bay Golf Club.
It was the fourth cancellation of an Alliance event in the 2017-2018 season, the worst "casualty rate" for many years, underlining the severity of the current winter weather.
The fixtures called off have been Kemnay (rain: September 13), Buckpool (frost, January 17), Royal Tarlair (frost, January 24) and Cruden Bay (frost/snow, February 7).

GORDON MUNRO SCORES THIRD WIN OF NORTH-EAST ALLIANCE SEASON

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Newmachar's +3 amateur Gordon Munro chalked up his third win of the North-east Golfers' Alliance season  and his second of the month with an impressive three-under-par round of 67 in the worst of the cold and very windy conditions at Peterhead Golf Club's Craigewan links today.

Munro, pictured, pipped professsional Chris Robb, attached to Meldrum House Golf Club, by a single stroke, thanks to an eagle 2 downwind at the par-4 17th.
Munro also had birdies at the second, eighth, and 11th, offset by bogeys at the sixth and 12th in halves of 34-33.
Robb, who had halves of 34, covered the last six holes in three-under-par with birdies at the 13th, 15th and 17th but that was not enough to get the better of Munro. The former Scottish amateur champion had earlier birdies the first, third and eighth but he had more bogeys than his rival - at the second, sixth, 10th and 11th.
Munro earned a £140 voucher for heading a field of 83 competitors.

Brian Chrystal (Baberton) has hole in one at windy Goswick

REPORT BY ALAN GREENSHIELDS

Edinburgh and East of Scotland Alliance secretary

It was touch and go whether today's outing at the par-72 (36-36) Goswick course would commence but due to difficulty trying to reschedule it was decided to go ahead with 70 members battling the strong wind that blew over the Northumberland course all day.

The testing conditions took its toll on scoring but the members have to be commended for taking part on what was otherwise a very well presented course.

Brian Chrystal of Baberton was certainly delighted the event went ahead. He secured a hole in one at the 150yd 15th  hole which did require him to guide his ball through the breeze with his rescue club. Well done, Brian!

Scratch spoils were shared three ways on seven-over-par 79 which gives an idea how tough conditions were.

First in on 79 was Ross Noon (Renaissance Club) with a split of 39-40, followed by Louis Gaughan (Bathgate) with halves of 41-38). Late in the day Chris Curran, also of Bathgate, hit the 79 mark with a birdie-par-birdie finish for halves of 41-38.

On the Handicap front it was Robin Cockburn (Harburn) who secured top prize on net 79 (84 less 5) but more importantly Robin's inward nine of 39 (36.5 net) meant, on countback, he secured the silverware being contested, the Pitreavie Trophy.

Second handicap prize went to Graeme Johnston (Glenbervie) with a net 81 (84 less 3) and 3rd prize was shared on net 83 by Alan Loughran (Murrayfield) (89 less 6) and Ian Wyse (Falkirk Tryst) 92 less 9.

Top Senior on net 84 was George Wither (Duddingston) (86 less 2)

Top Trainee prize was shared on 82 by Daniel Flannery (Renaissance Club) and Marc Owenson (Gullane).
