PAUL O'HARA HEADING FOR TURKEY AND MOROCCO

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Former Walker Cup reserve Paul O'Hara from Motherwell will be seeing plenty of Turkey and Morocco over the first nine events of the PGA of Germany's EPD Tour's 2011 schedule.
O'Hara, now 24, finished ninth in the EPD Tour's Order of Merit in 2010 with earnings of 17,639 Euros.
That was the rookie pro year for Paul - younger brother of European Tour player Steven O'Hara and twice a beaten finalist in the Scottish amateur championship - and he would expect to do better next year now that he knows what it's all about.
Good luck, Paul! We'll be tracking your fortunes on http://www.scottishgolfview.com/
+Incidentally, even if you are not a tour pro, you can play most of the Moroccan venues on the EPD schedule - the 2011 Morocco Golf Festival is being played over five courses in and around Marrakech - the "Red City" - from October 8 to 15. And the inaugural Moroccan international amateur championships from October 18 to 21 will utilise three courses: The Ocean, Golf du Solleil and The Dunes.
