Scottish amateur champion Chris Robb has been singing the praises of Meldrum Hous Golf Club teaching professional Neil Marr who also deserves the credit for crafting another member, Barry Brooks, into Scottish senior amateur stroke-play champion this year.

"Neil has been a huge help. I've been working with him now for around eight years or so and we get on very well together," said Robb, pictured right.
"He's a very enthusiastic teacher and great to speak to after tournaments to discuss things that went right/wrong and find out where to go from there.
"We would communicate via video and email while I was at college in the States and he was very good at getting back to me as soon as possible. He's very good at sparing five to 10min if I need some help although I think sometimes I can be a bit anxious and ask a lot of questions - so he puts up with me well! 


"My development into Scottish amateur champion and a member of the Scotland trio for the world amateur team championship is a huge credit to Neil Marr (pictured left) and his teaching. We have a lot of work to do yet though!
Robb, who will set out on the European Tour Q School Stage 1 process at Frilford Heath, Oxfordshire near the end of September, is not resting on his laurels by any means.
"I think all parts of my game could improve a lot still. My putting has been my downfall in the past  and I worked on that a lot with Graeme Leslie over the last half year or so. It has improved a lot but there's still room for improvement." says Banchory-based Robb.
"plan on turning professional at the end of this year so the world amateur team championship in Japan (September 11 to 14)  will be a great way to finish my amateur career.
" I'm looking forward to it a lot and representing Scotland in a three-man team is amazing. We have a great team and a very good chance of bringing back the massive trophy to Scotland.
"My amateur career as a whole wasn't quite what I wanted but I had a lot of great finishes and learned a lot which I think is the most important thing, learning from your mistakes.
"I still have a lot of improving to do in my game which is an exciting prospect as I did have a pretty good amateur career but there's things I think I can do a lot better! "
