Ronnie Urquhart stepping down as
professional at McDonald Golf Club

Ronnie Urquhart, one of the longest-serving club professionals in Scotland, is to step down after 26 years' service to the McDonald Golf Club at Ellon in Aberdeenshire.
Ronnie, 49, had a heart attack four years ago and is to give up his day-to-day duties at the club. He will continue his association with golf in the North-east of Scotland through a part-time teaching role at Pine Lodge Golf Centre at Kemnay.
"It will be a blow to leave McDonald Golf Club where I learned my golf as a junior but it's time for me to look after my health," said Ronnie.
"Coaching has always been my first love. Watching youngsters getting on in the game has been a great source of pleasure to me."
McDonald Golf Club captain Jim O'Brien said: "We are very sorry to lose Ronnie, especially under the circumstances. He has been a great servant to the club."
