LET'S HOPE VIKKI'S EXAMPLE CAN

SPUR DAVID INGLIS TO RISE

OUT OF PRO TOUR DOLDRUMS

Scottishgolfview.com's David Inglis Watch continues on the Gateway Tour in Florida.
The young man from Glencorse, for whom a great future was predicted in golf not all that long ago when he was British boys champion, a successful player on the US college circuit while a student at Tulsa University, then a Walker Cup player, has had a professional career that just does not match up to the talent that is lying dormant for the moment.
David has played in 25 tournaments since January 5.
He has missed the 36-hole cut or withdrawn after one round in 20 events.
He is currently on a five missed-cuts sequence. His record is 10 in a row.
He won money from his first three events of the year when he was joint 11th, joint 30th and joint 19th. Since then he has had a payday only twice - in March when he was joint 24th and mid-July when he was 50th.
His Hooter Tour earnings this year add up to $7,833.
Let's hope that the Boy David hangs on in there as Vikki Laing, another very talented Scot as an amateur, did and was rewarded with her first pro win on the US Futures Tour at Gettysburg on Sunday.
