Scottish Golf Show
I drove down to Glasgow this morning to open the Scottish Golf Show at the SEC. We again had a stand for PLGC which was mainly selling our Cardinal brand of clothes. Like last year, I went round all the different stations to play against members of the public which...
North East of Scotland Golfers’ Alliance Championship
I played at Portlethen last week and Newburgh this week in the north east alliance championship which was over 36 holes. I shot 68 + 70 to finish in second place, three shots behind the winner, Chris Robb. Both weeks were very enjoyable and both courses in good...
EGTC 2018 – Gleneagles – 20.03.18
Glasgow 2018 - European Golf Team Championships I was down at Gleneagles yesterday to be announced as an ambassador for this year's European Golf Team Championships at Gleneagles where ladies and men will play together for equal Prizemoney. The event is unique and...
Commercial Bank Qatar Masters – Rounds 3 & 4
It was an early start on Saturday after making the cut on the mark of -4, bit of a struggle again with ball striking but managed to grind it round in 71 (-1). Sunday was again an early start as some lightning was forcast for later in the day so the tour decided to...
Commercial Bank Qatar Masters – R1 & R2
I hit it pretty solid on Thursday but missed a few putts to shoot a decent 68(-4), which is a good start to the week. I was asked to spend some time in the Commercial Bank hospitality unit behind the 18th green, which was a pleasure as they have been brilliant...
Commercial Bank Qatar Masters – Pro-Am
It was a shotgun start at 7am this morning for the pro am. I played with three really good lads who were all good fun. Some of the greens this week are in poor shape due to a problem with the water system but it's the same for everyone. It's always really good to...
NBO Oman Open – R3
It was an early start this morning after just squeezing in for the weekend on level par. I played some decent golf in spells today but made a double bogey at 15 and a bogey at 16 to shoot 72 Lvl par. Probably overall it should have been a couple of shots less but I...
NBO Oman Open – Rounds 1 & 2
I struggled a bit off the tee on Thursday but hit some lovely iron shots and putted decent to shoot 71 (-1). The wind really picks up in the afternoon so anything under par is ok. Much better off the tee on Friday but the putting was woeful which is a pity as hit it...
NBO Oman Open 13 Feb
I'm in Oman for the first time this week to play on the Greg Norman designed Al Mouj Golf Course. I was at Ras Al Hamra GC 9 hole course who invited me to spend a couple of hours with staff, members & juniors in return for a donation to our Foundation. It was...
NBO Oman Open Pro-Am 14.02.18
I played this morning with three very nice local golfers in the Pro-Am. It was my first look at the course, which is very nice indeed. It has some beautiful Par 3s, especially the 13th. I play tomorrow at 11:35am from the 10th tee.
