Edinburgh & East of Scotland Alliance meeting

LLOYD SALTMAN (65) WINS AT
ROYAL MUSSELBURGH

Walker Cup player Lloyd Saltman, pictured right, just back from the European Tour Final Qualifying School, was the scratch winner of today’s Edinburgh and East of Scotland Alliance competition at Royal Musselburgh.
Saltman, still a Craigielaw Golf Club amateur, collected the £100 first prize voucher with a very good effort of seven-under-par 65, winning by four shots from Ally MacKenzie (Liberton) and Paul Terras.
Graham Grieve from Torphin Hill had the lowest net score of the day – a 68 off seven of a handicap. He just pipped Bob Clapperton and Stuart Wardlaw, who also hit the net 68 mark, with the best back nine.
There is no Alliance meeting next week but normal service will be resumed at Eyemouth on December 6.
