SCOTLAND TEAM NAMED FOR MEN'S HOME
INTERNATIONALS AT COUNTY LOUTH
The Scottish Golf Union selectors have chosen the following Scotland team for the men's home internationals at Co Louth from September 19 to 21:
WALLACE BOOTH (Comrie)
JAMES BYRNE (Banchory).
GLENN CAMPBELL (Blairgowrie).
GAVIN DEAR (Murrayshall).
JOHN GALLAGHER (Swanston New).
SCOTT HENRY (Cardross).
JONATHAN KING (Glasgow).
CALLUM MACAULAY (Tulliallan).
KEVIN McALPINE (Alyth).
KEIR McNICOLL (Carnoustie)
PAUL O'HARA (Colville Park).
First reserve: ROSS KELLETT (Colville Park).
Second reserve: SCOTT BORROWMAN (Dollar).
New caps at men's home internationals level are Gavin Dear, James Byrne, Wallace Booth and Callum Macaulay.
Byrne, of course, made his full international debut for Scotland in the European team championship. He flew to the United States this week for the introductory week for freshmen students at Arizona State University.
Booth made his full cap debut for Scotland against France in 2003 but has never appeared in the men's home internationals. Victories in two SGU Order of Merit events this summer - the Tennant Cup and the Cameron Corbett Vase - ensured his selection this year.
Macaulay's good run in the British amateur championship, coupled with good performances in Order of Merit events - he won the West of Scotland Open last year - always had him on the short leet.
The decision by Lloyd Saltman (Craigielaw) to turn professional immediately after the Walker Cup made another space available in the Scotland team for Co Louth. Richie Ramsay is another who would have been in the Scots line-up but for turning pro several weeks ago.
One man who might have expected at least to have been named a reserve is Duncan Stewart (Grantown on Spey). He won the East of Scotland Open at Lundin Links and made the Final Qualifying of the Open.
Scotland have won the Raymond Trophy as home international champions for the past two years. They have not completed a hat-trick of titles since 1934.
George Crawford (Williamwood) is the non-playing captain of the Scotland team.
