NEWS RELEASE
The
Scottish Disability Golf Partnership has just concluded its fourth
Pan-Disability Open Golf Championship at the Murrayshall House Hotel and golf courses near Perth.
The
SDGP Open, which was the first to be fully inclusive for the disabled,
was played over the Murrayshall course over 54 holes and was won by
James Hourigan of Ireland (gross) and Paul Cunningham of England (net)
with Billy Cairns of Scotland taking the Stableford championship.
The
Scottish Open trophy, which will remain in Scotland on display with
other international trophies, in St Andrews, was sponsored by Sidey
Windows Ltd of Perth.
Jim
Gales, secretary of the charity said, "Sidey Ltd have sponsored all
the trophies this year and have done so since we began the Open back in
2008. Along with other supporters like the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and UK-wide Trusts, we have been able to provide
a golf clinic for beginners and novices and subsidise everyone's
attendance at the Open, so a special thanks must go to everyone who came
good with support in these tricky financial times".
Stevie
Cunningham, the charity's vice-chairman, said, "Richard Holt, the
resident PGA professional at Murrayshall, and his team, provided a First
Swing Clinic for some 30 beginners, novices and established disabled
golfers on the opening day of the event.
"Training and tuition was provided, with some fun elements, including a putting and chipping competition for youngsters. Participants
were also provided with equipment for the training and the chance to
meet some of the Open and international players and have some golfing
fun with them".
Leading results at the three-day competition were:
Overall net winners:
1 Paul Cunningham (England), 2 Steven Cunningham (Scotland).
Overall gross winners:
1 James Hourigan (Ireland), 2 Mick Horsley (England).
Overall Stableford winners:
