GALASHIELS
A STRONG wind made scoring difficult for the 70 entrants in this year’s Gala Open.
Yet again, greenkeeper Colin Finlay had the course at its best for this event. David Gillie’s excellent par round of 68 was good enough to win the open by three shots from Donald Ballantyne, with Kenny Simpson a further shot adrift.
In the handicap section, Andrew Spalding and Colin Simpson both shot 65, with Andrew claiming the title with the better inward half.
