Here's a Golftext scoreboard that can be hired out, complete with an operating team, to anyone who is organising a golf tournament and wants to inject a touch of professionalism to the event.

English company offering big, professional-

style scoreboards for tournament organisers

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
A North-east of England company is hoping to get organisers of Scottish golf tournaments - clubs and/or districts, even business or society outings - interested in hiring a big, professional-style scoreboard complete with score operators.
The Craigmillar Park Open, held at the Edinburgh city venue at the weekend, had such a scoreboard for the first time and, it has to be said, it gave the 72-hole tournament that "extra something."
Bryan Ross is the man behind the enterprising scheme. This is what he has to say in the company brochure:
"I would like to introduce you to Golftext, a company specialising in professional tournament leaderboards and on course signage, now available for daily hire throughout the UK, Portugal and Spain.
"We recognise that all golf days are special and we believe that events should have a special visual presentation, which is crucial to creating the right impression and tournament arena.
"Golftext can now offer you the 'Professional Experience' that will guarantee to raise your tournament profile, ensuring a successful day for you and your guests.
"Whether you're a golf organiser, golf club, small or national company we have the package to suit your event and budget. Your package can also be self funding, this is possible through business sponsorship, which in addition can generate further funds for your event.
"Our dedicated and experienced team of staff will arrange, install, operate your chosen package and liaise with your key personnel during the event.
"I'm sure you'll find on of our standard packages to suit your needs or, take a look at our "extras" and "leaderboard" pages to build your own tournament package.

North of the Border, Bryan's company are hoping to get a toehold in the South-east of Scotland - that's why the Craigmillar Park Open was chosen as a trail-blazer - but they eventually hope to gain business from tournament organisers right across the Central Belt and even up into Fife, Angus, Perth, the North-east and Highlands.
