FIRST RESPONSE FROM DAVID WATSON:
James Erskine might be from Portpatrick Dunskey. Not sure, but Euan Little played that tour for a few years and may have encouraged him to play on it.

SECOND RESPONSE FROM WALTER BURNS:
James Erskine is definitely from Portpatrick. He will be back there this week doing what he does best, inspiring kids to play Golf.
