Ross Robertson, a member of Old Ranfurly Golf Club, was 14 years old when he won the Renfrewshire Golf Union’s junior stroke-play championship last May at Caldwell Golf Club.  

Given that his opposition was aged up to 18 years old with a lot more experience of tournament play, it was evident that Ross (pictured) is a special talent.

During the rest of his 2012 season, his performances remained impressive and included winning his club’s junior championship and success at two junior open tournaments.  Now 15 and coached by George Boswell at Mearns Castle Golf Academy as one of the Scottish Golf Union Academy squad, his record has been recognised by the Scottish selectors. 

Ross has been named as a member of the team which will represent Scotland at the under 16 Quadrangular Event to be held at Southerndown Golf Club in Wales in late March.  The competing countries are Holland, Ireland, Wales and Scotland.

The Gryffe High School pupil, whose handicap is 3, is delighted with his selection and, weather permitting, will continue to work on his game so that he is ready for the event.   

Renfrewshire Golf Union President, Ian McCosh said “It is great that Ross’s performance last season has been spotted by the selectors and this will be an inspiration to the other Renfrewshire boys in the coaching squads.  We wish him all the best when the time comes”
