SDG SPRING MEETNG AT EDINBURGH VENUES
Capital Launch for disabled golf season
Over fifty disabled golfers, from Scotland, England and Germany took part in Scottish Disability Golf's, Spring Meeting in Edinburgh this week.
The two-day golf event was held at the Houston Golf Centre and Pumpherston and Swanston Golf Clubs, in Edinburgh, beginning with a Clinic and PGA Professional tuition session at Houston, where players of all levels and abilities took part, and concluded with the first two rounds of golf for the Scottish Order of Merit Championship for 2014.
Stevie Cunningham, the newly elected Vice Chair of the charity said, "Early indications of form are promising and this will help out later in the year when we select players from the Scottish Merit Tables, for Team Scotland, who will take on the English for the Auld Enemies Cup down in London.
"We had a great if somewhat wet time in Edinburgh, but we would like to thank everyone at Pumpherston and Swanston for their generosity and support".
This year, Scottish Disability Golf is celebrating its tenth year of
operation and organising golf, golf training and competition for its
members. With over nine hundred members in Scotland and other disabled golfing nations across the world, the SDGP has organised its mostcomprehensive fixture list of clinics and games.
Results from the SDGP Spring Meeting
1st Derek Milne of Fife with a 66 points 2-day total, followed by Alan Robertson of Stirling with 65 and John Pennycott from the Isle of Arran with 62. The winning SDGP Coach from the event was Tony Tomasso of Glasgow.
This year the charity will host three Open Championships, one in the Highlands of Scotland, their biannual Open at Murrayshall in Perth and conclude the season with the third at the Home of Golf in St Andrews.
In addition to the Auld Enemies match, they will also host a brand new Ryder Cup style match at the prestigious Roxburghe Resort in the Scottish Borders and are extensively involved with the newly formed North American Disability
Golf group, which covers the US, Canada and Mexico. Their first match is a 72-hole Ryder Cup style game against an SDGP generated World Squad.
