DEREK MILNE OF UPPER LARGO, FIFE WINS ORDER OF MERIT

St Andrews hosts disabled golf finale

NEWS RELEASE
Disabled golfers travelled to three prestigious golf courses in St Andrews this week to conclude their season and crown the Scottish Order of Merit Champion for 2014.
Golfers from Holland, England and across Scotland competed in Scottish Disability Golf's, 54-hole Classic event over the Dukes, Jubilee and Kittocks Golf Courses.
The three-day event was won by Derek Milne of Upper Largo in Fife, with Paul Cunningham of London in second and Bob Drysdale of Tayport in Fife taking third place. 
Jim Gales the event organiser said, "This was the SDGP's tenth birthday and it was coincidental that in 2004 we played some of the same golf courses as did for this event.  This only goes to show how much fantastic support charity has received from the Old Course St Andrews Hotel, the owners of the Dukes, the St Andrews Links Trust, Jubilee Course and the Fairmont St Andrews Bay, Kittocks Course management and staff.  We had three great days for our season's finale and only one day where the weather threatened to disrupt our play, which is not bad considering its October in Scotland?"
After 20 counting events, played over seven months in Scotland and
England, The Scottish Order of Merit championship was retained by Trevor
Crombie of Kirkcaldy, with Derek Milne of Upper Largo in second and Thomas
Kerr Scott of Busby in third.  Throughout the whole season, over seventy
golfers participated in the Championship and over one hundred golfersparticipated in First Swing Clinics and Academy's.
Next for the SDGP members is the Phoenix Cup and SDGP event, played over six
days, in Mesquite Nevada.
