By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Lothians, winners of the Scottish men's area team golf championship 13 times, established themselves at the end of a long opening, showery day today  as top seeds for this year's GolfKings title over the Hawkshill Course at Newmachar Golf Club. 
With a 36-hole tally of 692 over Hawkshill and Swailend, Lothians headed the eight qualifying teams for the weekend match-play stages by 17 strokes from Glasgow.
The order of seeding is
1 Lothians 692
2 Glasgow 709
3 Renfrewshire 715
4 Ayrshire 715
5 Perth and Kinross 720
6 Lanarkshire 725
7 North-east 726
8 North 730
In Saturday's match-play, which tees off at 7.30am, each match will consist of one foursome and four singles. The line-up is:
Lothians v North (7.30, 7.38, 7.46, 7.54, 8.02)
Renfrewshire v Perth and Kinross (8.10, 8.18, 8.26, 8.34, 8.42)

Ayrshire v Lanarkshire (9.30, 9.38, 9.46, 9.54, 10.02)
The afternoon action will start at 1.30pm when the semi-final ties will be:
Lothians or North v Renfrewshire or Perth and Kinross
Glasgow or North-east v Ayrshire or Lanarkshire.

The teams who failed to qualify for the match-play were:
730 Angus
734 Stirlingshire
736 Fife, Dunbartonshire
745 Borders
751 Argyll and Bute

The 36-hole stroke-play qualifying was dominated by Calum Fyfe (pictured below) with an 18 under par total of 126. In the morning, the 20 year Cawder Golf Club member from Kirkintilloch broke the Hawkshill record (off the black tees)  with an eight-under-par round of 64 and in the afternoon he returned a 10-under-par 62, only one shot outside the Swailend record held by John Duff.

Fyfe's sub-par figures over the 36 holes amounted to one eagle and 17 birdies. He also had one bogey.
Second best was Euan McIntosh (Turnhouse) with scores of 66 and 68 for 134 and Matt Clark (Kilmacolm) finished third on 135 with 68 and 67.
