BIG DAY OUT FOR CLUB PROS, PARTNERS AT CRIEFF NEXT TUESDAY

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE PGA
Edzell Golf Club's Milroy Coates hopes that Alistair Webster's experience will rub off when he bids for the chance to play in Las Vegas at the Virgin Atlantic PGA National Pro-Am Championship qualifier at Crieff.
Retired oil industry worker Coates, 61, will team up with former PGA Cup player and ex-PGA Professional champion Webster, pictured, for the event to be held next Tuesday (July 26) at the Perthshire venue.
They will be aiming to win through to the grand final at the Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort in Nevada from December 5-6.
Rivals for a coveted place in the 36-hole final which carries a £30,000 prize fund and is being staged over the Jack Nicklaus-designed South Shore course, include Royal Montrose professional Jason Boyd, 40, and amateur Stephen Lewis, - a 47-year-old air cabin crew worker.
Also playing will be Inverness professonal
el Douglas, 47, who teams up with Donald Sinclair, a 33-year-old lorry driver; last year's finalist Campbell Elliott, 50, of Haggs Castle, who plays with Glasgow-based Paul Quinn; and Westerwood professional Vincent Brown, 36, who has been partnered with David Mackay, a 28-year-old car salesman from Falkirk.
Coates already jokes that he owns part of Webster's house as the 52-year-old professional has taken so much money off him over the years as the duo enjoy a small wager when they meet for a game of golf most weeks at the Angus club.
And he believes he will be in safe hands at Crieff with Webster who has won the Scottish Boys Strokeplay Championship twice and represented Scotland at schoolboy, youth and men's level.
As a professional, Webster represented Great Britain and Europe in the PGA Cup at Kiawah Island in USA and played for Scotland at the European Team Championships on three occasions.
Carnoustie-based Coates, who plays off a handicap of seven and retired last year, has known Webster, a professional at Edzell for 27 years, since he was a teenager.
The winning professional at the Grand Final will take home a cheque for £5,000.
