MEET LAWRENCE ALLAN, ALVA MEN'S CLUB CHAMPION
AT 12 YEARS, 8 MONTHS

Very well done, indeed, Lawrence Allan - men's club champion of Alva Golf Club at the age of only 12 years and eight months. Andy Bain, the beaten finalist, is pictured with Lawrence who has brought his handicap down from 10 to seven this season.Do you know of or have you ever heard of a club champion anywhere in Scotland as young as Lawrence?

COMMENT FROM WILLIE MacCALLUM

What a great achievement for one so young. However, it does open a slightly controversial topic in that young Lawrence was given the chance to compete in his local men's club championship. I can think of a few North-east clubs who choose not to allow their junior members the chance to compete and I'm including girls in the same context.
