 So far so good and I'm still learning and developing, says Chris Robb

By CHRIS ROBB
Former Scottish amateur champion now playing out of Meldrum House Golf Club as a professional
I turned pro in October 2014 at Q School.  I think my pro career is going along well, obviously I was a little disappointed at the end of last year not to make the top 5 on the Pro Golf Tour (EPD) after such a good first half of the season. 
My results seemed to go downhill in the last portion of the season and I fell down the Order of Merit, ending up in 10th place. 
I learned a lot, however, and took it as a very positive sign that I got that close in my rookie year.  
So far this year hasn't been that great as far as results go but plenty of time left to turn it around and get that top 5 finish in the Order of Merit to jump up to the Challenge Tour. 
I'm off to Czech Republic next week for the next tournament on the Pro Golf Tour. 
There are quite a few things to get used to in the pro game that the amateur years don't quite prepare you for so there is a lot of learning and developing still to be done.
I'm excited for the years ahead. 

had two tournaments last year where I finished second with a chance to win. The Open Casa Green and Open Dar Es Salam Red, both in Morocco, I'd say were my best performances to date. 
Last year I had eleven Top 10 finishes and four top 5s. This year I've only had one top 5 to date. Still no wins unfortunately but it's not far away. 
A strength of mine is definitely my driving, I'm strong off the tee and like tight, tree-lined courses. Weakness, perhaps, this year has been my short game. It's not quite been as tight as it needs to be. It's usually a strength of mine, so won't take much to get it back on track.
