North-east Alliance handicap reductions 

Following a very successful "extra" event at Craibstone GC, we have some changes to Alliance handicaps to carry forward to the second half of the 2018/19 season. 

Captain John Borthwick, with three wins in four weeks, is now reduced to a more realistic 3 handicap. 

Newmachar member Paul Cornfield has crept up quietly but is nevertheless reduced to 12 for our next event at Inverallochy (January 9). 

Similarly, Jim Scott of Peterculter has appeared three times on the prize list and is now reduced to 9.  Still too high perhaps? 

Les Fowler, Richard Denning and Stewart Kidd have now secured four prizes apiece and should be aware that one more success will lead to yet another reduction in their handicap.  Tough but true.
Best wishes to all Alliance members in the North-east and indeed throughout Scotland for a relaxing festive break.  By our next event at Inverallochy, we will have more than SEVEN hours of daylight on Wednesdays!

January fixtures:
9 Inverallochy, 16 Fraserburgh, 23 Cruden Bay, 30 Peterhead
