Thanks to an E-mail from "Peter," which pointed me in the right direction, I have started to put together a memory-stirring tribute to Finlay Morris, the rising Scottish golf star of the 1960s whose life was tragically cut short by a car crash ... just like 19-year-old Welsh Walker Cup possible Ben Enoch last week on his way to play in the Lytham Trophy.
"Google" has never heard of Finlay Morris, which is a shame because at the time of his death Morris was being tagged "the next John Panton or Eric Brown," when these two Great Scots figured large in the world of pro golf.
Finlay Morris was a member at Cawder Golf Club, Bishopbriggs.
He won the Scottish boys championship at North Berwick in 1963, beating Iain Clark from Annan by 9 and 8 in the 36-hole final. He also went on to win the British boys' championship.
Morris was capped for Scotland at men's home international level the same year and played in all three matches against England, Ireland and Wales.
I have asked Cawder Golf Club secretary if he can help me put together a fuller, more detailed article.
According to "Peter," Cawder GC have photographs of Finlay on display and their members play for a Finlay Morris Memorial Medal.
