EDINBURGH AND EAST OF SCOTLAND ALLIANCE
REPORT FROM ALAN GREENSHIELDS
A record number so far this season of 106 players headed to East Lothian to contest the John Glen Trophy competition over Gullane No.3 course which has a par of 68.
Daylight hours were stretched to the limit to get the full field round the course but thanks to kind weather this was achieved and the event was very closely contested.
Three players shared the top scratch score at one-under-par 67 and three players tied with the lowest net score of 64.

Jonathan Tune (Glenbervie), with a better inward half in his net 64 (71 less seven) is now the holder of the John Glen Trophy.
He pipped Martin Rennie (Uphall) (68 less four) and Alan MacKay (Kingsknowe) (67 less three). Jonathan achieved a superior inward nine with his one-under-par 33 to give a net 29.5 compared with Martin's net 32 and Alan's net 33.5.
