John Forbes retains North District Order of Merit title
By ROBIN WILSON
Points collected from the final counting event, the 72
Hole North of Scotland Open Amateur Championship at Royal Dornoch, helped
Inverness's John Forbes win for a second year the North District's 2017 Order of
Merit table.
Secretary of Muir of Ord Golf Club, Forbes, topped
the final table with 280 pts from
four events, the Moray Open (50), the North District club team competition at
Golspie (90), the Black Isle Open (10)
and finally 130 points from the 72 hole championship at Dornoch.
Fortrose and Rosemarkie's Lewis Reid's 160 pts
from Dornoch gained him second place on 255 pts and finishing third
was Jordon Shaw (Boat of Garten) whose 180 pts from Dornoch brought him to a
total of 235.
Other top ten finishers were:
Bryan Fotheringham
(Forres) 230
Chris Mailley (Royal Dornoch) 225
Cameron Franssen (Inverness)
200
Kyle Godsman (Moray) 200
Fraser Fotheringham (Nairn) 175
Lyle McAlpine (Tain) 175
Matty Wilson (Forres) 165
Jeff Wright
(Forres) 160.
Over the Forres Golf Course last week the North
District's junior season came to an end with the Forres Club Professional Sandy
Aird's Junior Match-Play Championships and also the conclusion to the junior
Order of Merit tables.
Winning the Scratch Aird Cup for under-18s was Steven Pears (The Nairn) who beat Matty
Wilson (Forres) in the final at the 20th hole. In the under-15s
final for the District Cup the winner also came from Nairn, Logan Gillies over powering
Ewan Cuthbert (Inverness) in the final by 5 & 3.
Three Fortrose & Rosemarkie juniors were prominent
in the handicap match-play, Jack Mann, Jack MacLean and Ben Patience. MacLean
and Patience met in the first round and MacLean won this tie only to lose in
round two to eventual winner Eaun Docherty (Moray). Mann, aged eleven, and with
a handicap of 20 was the leading handicap qualifier and fought his way through
to the final to lose narrowly at the last hole to Docherty.
In the under-14 Merit Table Nairn's Calum Scott topped
it with 103 points, four ahead of Inverness's Calum Daun. The under-16 age
group winner was Logan Gillies (Nairn) with 100 points followed by Golspie's
Danny Doogan (90). Steven Pears (Nairn
Dunbar) topped the under-18 table with 97 points with Jamie MacKintosh (Nairn)
second on 81.
