SCRATCH MERIT TITLE WITH 2 EVENTS STILL TO GO
Still two counting events to go but Newmachar's John Duff has won the first prize in the Brimmond Bistro North-east Golfers' Alliance Scratch Order of Merit, writes Colin Farquharson
John's second place finish at Oldmeldrum on Wednesday increased his lead at the top of the points table to 1371.92 over second-placed Joel Hopwood, the Senior Assistant Professional at Royal Aberdeen.
With 500pt the maximum points available at each weekly meeting, that means Duff, pictured right, is in an unassailable position after a consistent campaign which has brought him three victories and numerous top five and 10 finishes.
Well done, John! He will receive a £120 amateur voucher from Craibstone Golf Club's Brimmond Bistro, the open-to-the-public restaurant within the Craibstone clubhouse.
But, for Messrs Hopwood, Lee Vannet, the Craibstone teaching pro, and Peterculter amateur Tony Robertson, there is still plenty to play for.
The second and third-places in the final Scratch table must be filled by two of that trio. No-one can gatecrash ther party by winning enough points at the championship fixtures at Duff House Royal GC next Wednesday and Craibstone on March 18.
The biggest climbers of the week in the Scratch points table were the Wednesday winner, Justin Duff (Fraserburgh) and Scott Mackie Hazlehead. Justin jumped 26 places from 55th to 29th while Scott went up from 90th to 61st, a leap of 29 places.
Pity they have not been able to play in more of the weekly fixtures.
It was only Justin Duff's second appearance of the season due to his
offshore work on the rigs.
