GLASGOW GAILES TO HOST THE PALMER
CUP STUDENTS' MATCH IN JUNE

Glasgow Gailes' links in Ayrshire will stage the transatlantic men's students golf match for the Palmer Cup this year.
The announcement was made by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
The annual Ryder Cup-style competition between the best collegians in the United States and Europe will be played on June 26 and 27 over the 6,903yd, par-71 course originally designed by Willie Park junior.
The Americans lead the series, 6-4-1, after winning the 2007 competition, 18-6, at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland.
But the Americans lost heavily - 19 1/2-4 1/2 - in 2005 when the match was played over the Prestwick Golf Club links.
Glasgow Golf Club, founded in 1787, is the ninth-oldest golf club in the world. It owns two courses, Killermont in Bearsden, Glasgow, and Gailes Links in Ayrshire. The Gailes Links course was inaugurated in 1892 and lies in the heart of the Ayrshire Golf Coast, only a few miles from Turnberry and Royal Troon.
The first Palmer Cup was held at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge in 1997.
