WHERE HAVE ALL THE BOY GOLFERS GONE?

E-Mail from Ian Steven

I was looking at the early results from the Scottish boys' championship at Monifeith on the SGU's website.
One thing I noticed  was that there were insufficient entries this year.
There should be 256 competitors but top seed Ewan Scott from St Andrews has been given a bye into Round 2.
There have been a couple of players who have withdrawn and those boys without an opponent have also been given a direct entry into Round 2.
In years gone by there have been 30-50 reserves.
Where have all the boys gone?
Maybe your readers could give reasons for the decline.

The field was 255, with no reserves. Three players have since pulled out.
