The day David Law was


honoured by Hazlehead

The 'Presentation day for David Law' at Hazlehead Golf Club, Aberdeen teed off at 2pm with a golf match between David Law and fellow Hazlehead member, former Walker Cup player Sandy Pirie against Donald Jamieson and Brian Innes over 11 holes at Hazlehead No. 1 course (1-6 and 14-18).
The match was won 2 and 1 by James and Innes. A crowd of some 70 people of all ages watched and enjoyed the vintage golf by present and past Scottish champions and international players.
Former Scottish champion Donald Jamieson (Nigg Bay) had a 2 at the third hole where he holed his five-iron approach shot and fromer Scotland cap Brian Innes (Murcar Links) followed at the fourth hole with a 3 and the advantage was held throughout the remaining holes.
Former Walker Cup player and past Scottish men's and boys' champion (in different years), Hugh Stuart, the current captain of Murcar Links Golf Club, was unable to accept an invitation to take part in the exhibition match.
The presentation to David Law followed in the clubhouse to which all the crowd were invited, The captain of Hazlehead Golf Club Mike Faulkner spoke of David's achievement in winning the Scottish boys' match-play championship (at Royal Aberdeen) and the Scottish men's amateur match-play championship (at Royal Troon) , both in the 2009 season, and bestowed on him honorary membership.
David was presented with a glass trophy, inscribed with his achievements, by Gordon Murray (pictured above), vice-president of the Scottish Golf Union and a life-long member of the Hazlehead club.
All players in the exhibition match received a memento of the day.
Note from the Editor of Scottishgolfview.com: The above item should have appeared within days of the match and presentation to David Law back in October but, due to the Editor being on holiday in Portugal at the time, it was put into an electronic "pending" tray and never called up until Gordon Murray reminded the Editor about it at the North-east District annual dinner last Saturday night. Better late than never!
