PGAs of Europe International Team Championship conditions


HUTCHEON AND ROBERTSON
NOT ELIGIBLE FOR
TARTAN TOUR TEAM

The PGA Scottish Region has had to revise its team for the PGAs of Europe international team championship over the Dave Thomas-designed Roda course in the Murcia region of Spain in mid-November.
The line-up had been announced as the top three in the Tartan Tour Order of Merit – Greig Hutcheon (Peterculter), pictured right, Dean Robertson (Czech Design) and Craig Lee (All Swing Golf Centre), a strong-looking line-up that would have put Scotland among the title favourites.
Now the PGA Scottish Region has been forced to delete Hutcheon and Robertson from its line-up on eligibility grounds.
Their places will be taken by James McKinnon (Irvine) and Samuel Cairns (Westerwood).
“Since the announcement of our original team from the Order of Merit, we have been reminded that only professionals who work at least 25 hours a week in a golf business, i.e. a club pro’s shop, driving range or golf centre can be nominated to play in the PGAs of Europe international team tournament,” said Gordon Dewar, secretary-elect of the PGA Scottish Region.
“Greig Hutcheon and Dean Robertson’s circumstances are such that they do not meet these stipulations and, regrettably, they have had to be stood down from the PGA Scottish Region team.”
