Perfect golfing conditions again today at Newmachar Golf Club’s Swailend course. Nice temperatures and no wind made it a birdie fest among today’s leaders.
For the third week in a row professional Liam Waldron (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre) wins the alliance - this time with a sublime round of 64(-8). Liam reduced the course to nothing more than a pitch & putt with some massive drives of well over 300 yards and also a brilliant touch around the greens.
With 9 birdies at 1,6,8,9,11,12,13,15 & 17 and his only drop coming at 2 it was good enough to win by only one shot from playing partner professional Philip McLean (Peterhead Golf Club) on an equally impressive round of 65(-7). Philip made a charge at Liam on the back 9 coming home in 30(-6) with a brilliant display of golf but it was not to be after just missing his birdie attempt on 18 to tie Liam.
The Swailend course was in fantastic condition for the time of year with optional matts and preferred lies in operation.
Next week the alliance will visit Peterhead Golf Club
