Earlier this week I brought to your attention that Sean Jacklin, Scots-born son of Tony Jacklin, is campaigning on the National Pro Golf Tour in America as is Royal Dornoch exile Jimmy Gunn.
And Paul Cormack from Banchory is on the NGA (Hooters) Tour. Paul has written an interesting piece for Scottishgolfview.com, which will be on view before the end of the week.
Also this week, I "uncovered" another Scot playing as a professional in America - Andrew or Andy Gunson, pictured, son of Brian Gunson who was the head professional at Turnberry before moving to the States where he is now the Director of Golf at a private golf club at Irvine, California called Shady Canyon.
Son Andy, born at Irvine in Ayrshire, played on the US college circuit as a student at the University of California-Santa Barbara and did well enough to gain a World Amateur Ranking in the top 500.
He graduated last May-June and - we missed the news at the time - but he turned pro fairly quickly and scored his first win on the Gateway Tour in their July 13-15 event at The Golf Club at Rancho California.
With a 15-under-par tally of 201 over 54 holes, Andy Gunson, 23, pocketed $15,000.
