THE 'IS-HE-A-SCOT?' MICHAEL SIM DEBATE

Michael Sim, development as a golfer greatly assisted by Australian bodies.

Another E-mail from Michael Sim's father, George (in Australia)

Colin,
Michael is certainly proud of his Aberdeen roots as are the whole family. However, I think that your readers have to understand that Michael’s development as a golfer has been greatly assisted by The Graham Marsh Junior Golf Foundation in Western Australia as well as the Australian Golf Union and the Australian Institute of Sport, which he attended for two years in Melbourne after leaving school.

Michael also represented Australia at both junior and men's level. He represented Australia eight times as an amateur and was part of a three-man Eisenhower Trophy team with James Nitties and Jarrod Lyle.
Therefore, when he turned professional he was always going to represent Australia which I think is the correct decision.
George Sim
