DAVID DUVAL IN DANGER OF LOSING HIS DENVER MANSION

FROM THE GOLF WEEK WEBSITE
TRUTH AND RUMOURS CORNER
No one is safe from an angry economy. Not even former golfing World No 1s.
David Duval, once golf’s top player (and Open championship winner at Royal Lytham), has been hit by the housing crunch as hard as anyone. According to the (US newspaper) Daily Mail, Double-D's house in the Denver suburb of Cherry Hills is in foreclosure:
According to legal documents seen by TMZ, some of the repayments on the £3.7 million ($5.9m) loan have not been made.
The paperwork allegedly states that Duval and his wife Susie were loaned the money in 2005 so they could buy a £7.8 million ($12.4m) home in plush Cherry Hills.
However, the bank is struggling to get the money back from the fading golfing star so has issued a foreclosure on the property.
According to the article, Duval is still estimated to be worth roughly $19 million, so he's many, many pages away from Chapter 13  (bankruptcy)
But his cash flow, at least from golf, appears to be in a decade-long slide. This year, he's only made $26,696 on tour. 
And, in 2011, Duval and his wife put the Cherry Hills house, along with an additional property, on the market for $14 million -- almost $6 million less than they paid for it. So far, no buyers have emerged.
Duval's mansion will go up for public auction on November 7 if the loan isn't repaid. 
So, note to any Duval fans out there with more money than the man himself: Mark your calendars.

HUGH HUNTER'S CLACKMANNAN COUNTY NEWS

  ALLAN’S TOP TWENTY FINISH

Although not challenging for the top places in the Scottish boys' stroke-play championship, Alva’s Lawrence Allan put in a steady performance at Cardross last week   
His five-over-par total of 289 (72,72,73,72) put him in 14th place and 12 shots behind the winner.  Over his four rounds he accumulated 12 birdies, matching the top players, but all this good work was cancelled out by a substantial number of over-par hole scores.  However, his performance should be enough to take him into the Scotland team to play in the boys' Home Internationals in Ireland next week.

 SENIOR WIN FOR DEMPSEY
Perhaps following in the footsteps of fellow Tulliallan GC member Bob Stewart, Phil Dempsey took the top spot in the Scottish Seniors' West of Scotland event at Lanark last week.  His scratch total of 145 (69,76) won by a single shot, and he also had the distinction of having the top net score as well - 139 - not easy from a golf handicap of 3.
Ian Peddie (Tulliallan) plays in the Scottish Super Seniors Championship to be held at Nairn Dunbar this week.

SCOTLAND CALL-UP FOR EILIDH
Congratulations to Muckhart’s Eilidh Watson (pictured) on being selected to represent Scotland in the Girls' Home Internationals.  The squad of eight girls will compete at Radyr Golf Club near Cardiff next week (August 7-9).
