PETER SMITH ANSWERS SENIORS TOUR CALL - HE'S TAIWAN-BOUND

Former Northern Open champion Peter Smith, now a teaching pro at Deeside Golf Club, has accepted a place in the second last event of the 2011 European Seniors Tour - but it means him travelling halfway round the world at his own expense.
It's the Fubon Open at Miramar Golf and Country Club, Taiwan, the first time the over-50s tour has staged an event there. It will be played from November 28 to 30 with $400,000 of prize money.
Sandy Lyle is one of the big names who will be in the field of 96 players for the 54-hole event.
"I can hardly believe believe I've got a spot. There's a cut, which is unusual in seniors' events, so that is probably the reason why a lot of 'regulars' are giving this one a miss," said Peter who narrowly missed out at last year's Seniors Tour Qualifying School on the Algarve
"But it's a bonus for me and I'm really looking forward to it."
