Tom Galloway (98) still playing in

Scottish Alliance championship

Old golfers never die, they just keep on playing in the Scottish Alliance championship!
Competing in this year's 54-hole event, hosted by Moray Golf Club at Lossiemouth are 98-year-old Tom Galloway from Dunfermline and 86-year-old John Edmiston from Burntisland.They must breed them to last in Fife.
Tom, a regular at the event, announced in 2000 that he was playing in his last Alliance championship. But he keeps coming back for more.
Eight years ago, he celebrated his 90th birthday by playing three rounds of golf in one day! He endeavours to play golf at least three or four times a week.
Galloway did not take up golf until the age of 62 when he took early retirement from an Edinburgh brewers.
“I decided to retire early the day I heard that one of my colleagues who had worked on until he was 65, died a day or so after he retired,” said Tom.
“I made up my mind I was not going to sit about the house. I had to take up some activity that guaranteed getting me out and about and golf seemed to fit the bill.
“I went to evening classes to learn the game. I did get down to four of a handicap within two years of starting."
Aberdeen Hazlehead Golf Shop staff professional Colin Nelson, who partnered Tom in one Alliance championship, said later:
“The man’s a marvel. He never held us up at all and you could see that on a links course with a lot of run he could still play a fair game, even in his 90s. It was a privilege to play with Tom Galloway.”
The final twist in the remarkable story of Tom Galloway is that he was born in 1910 at HMS Ganges, a Royal Naval training station in Suffolk, the son of an artillery instructor. Tom served in the Royal Air Force in World War II.
He has never smoked or touched alcohol in his life _ despite being a chief brewer! But he does not eat fresh fruit nor vegetables apart from potatoes.
“Steak and potatoes is my favourite dish. Can’t get enough of it,” says Tom.
John Edmiston tees off in his first round over the Moray New course at 9.01am today (Tuesday). Tom Galloway is also play the New course, at 11am.
Among the leading candidates to win the Scottish Alliance title this week over 54 holes are two former winners, Caldwell professional Craig Everett and Forres amateur international Bryan Fotheringham.

HUGH HUNTER'S CLACKMANNANSHIRE NEWS

THE UPS AND DOWNS OF GOLF
As all golfers know, the game of golf is a succession of highs and lows, and no doubt Tulliallan’s Bob Stewart experienced that recently. He started on a high with a pretty good score at the Scottish Seniors Championship recently. In the field of professionals, as the only amateur, Bob shot a first round of 75 to leave him in the middle of the field.
It then went downhill as his putting touch deserted him in the second round, and a few days later at the Senior Home Internationals in South Wales, it took four matches before he registered his first win in his singles match in the game against Wales.
His 3 and 2 win was vital in securing a third halved match for Scotland in the Home International series, and leaving them in the runner-up spot behind the winners Ireland.
Nevertheless it has been a great season for Bob, Scottish Champion followed by International duty at the European Seniors and the Home Internationals.
In the Scottish Seniors Order of Merit, Bob finished runner up behind Gordon Macdonald (Callander), and all this must give him great hope for next season.
ANOTHER TITLE FOR CALLUM
Tulliallan’s Callum Macaulay is set to be named as the 2008 Scottish Golfer of the Year, thus retaining his 2007 title. Callum finished in 15th position in the R&A World rankings at the end of September, with Wallace Booth (Comrie) finishing as runner-up, some 49 places further back.
In the Scottish Golf Union Order of Merit, Callum did not manage to retain his title, finishing in third place behind Steven McEwan and Wallace Booth.
Two places further back was Scott Borrowman who produced some strong performances at the end of the season. These results give the Wee County the distinction of having two golfers in the top five in Scotland for 2008, and hopefully inspire others to try for the high levels of amateur golf.
DUNFERMLINE BUILDING SOCIETY JUNIOR MASTERS
The 2008 final takes place this weekend over the Queen's course, Gleneagles, and local junior golfer Grant Carmichael(Tillicoultry) will be trying for a top spot when he tees off at 8.39 in the handicap Stableford competition.

Most momentous year in history of
European Tour starts November 6

PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE EUROPEAN TOUR
The launch of The Race to Dubai at the HSBC Champions at Sheshan International Golf Club in Shanghai, China, on November 6 heralds the start of the most momentous season in the history of The European Tour.
No fewer than 53 tournaments will be played on the inaugural Race to Dubai on The 38th European Tour International Schedule which will visit 26 destinations before reaching a thrilling crescendo with The Dubai World Championship at the Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai, UAE, from November 19-22, 2009.
The record number of tournaments is due in part to a minimum of two tournaments – the HSBC Champions and the UBS Hong Kong Open – each being played twice on The 2009 European Tour International Schedule.
In addition there are five ‘new’ tournaments – the Czech Golf Open, The English Open, the Canal + Open, the Volvo World Match Play Championship and The Dubai World Championship – on The 2009 European Tour International Schedule on which the New Zealand Open, the BMW Asian Open and the Volvo Masters will not feature.
Significantly the expanded season will enable The European Tour to arrange a calendar year programme in 2010 when The European Tour International Schedule will start with the South African Open on the Jack Nicklaus-designed course at the Pearl Valley Golf Estates in the Western Cape and conclude with The Dubai World Championship at the landmark development of Jumeirah Golf Estates which will have four courses in total and 13 planned residential communities.
This schedule will see Leisurecorp, the Dubai World company specialising in developments and investments in the sport and leisure sector and with whom The European Tour have a wide-ranging partnership, host the start and finish of The 2010 European Tour International Schedule.
Leisurecorp have also acquired Turnberry on Scotland’s Ayrshire coast where The 138th Open Championship will be played in 2009 and which will, of course, feature on The European Tour Race to Dubai.
George O’Grady, Chief Executive of The European Tour, said: “We are excited about the start of The Race to Dubai and the superb quality of the field for the HSBC Champions in Shanghai, with five of the top seven currently active players in the world all entered, provides ample evidence of the high drama and great theatre that lies ahead.
“The Race to Dubai will bring a new dimension to The European Tour and the partnership with Leisurecorp is central to our plans for the future so we are particularly delighted that three of their prestigious golf facilities are hosting competition in 2009, and that Pearl Valley Golf Estates and Jumeirah Golf Estates will start and finish the 2010 season.
“The 2009 European Tour International Schedule confirms how The European Tour has become ever-more global in its outlook with 26 destinations now featured with the Czech Golf Open returning for the first time in 12 years.”
The Czech Golf Open at Prosper Golf Resort, Čeladná, from July 30-August 2 is the first of the five ‘new’ tournaments to be played on The 2009 European Tour International Schedule. The others are:
+The English Open, returning after an absence of seven years, at St Mellion International Resort, Cornwall.
+The inaugural Canal + Open.
+The Volvo World Match Play Championship at the new venue of Finca Cortesin Golf Club in Malaga, Spain.
+The Dubai World Championship which concludes The Race to Dubai from November 19-22, 2009.
Other notable changes for 2009 include the Johnnie Walker Classic returning to The Vines Resort & Country Club, Perth, Western Australia, where it was last played in 2006; the Indonesia Open moving to the New Kuta Golf Club in Bali; The European Open occupying a new date between the BMW PGA Championship and The Celtic Manor Wales Open; and the SAS Masters returning, the week following The 138th Open Championship, to Barsebäck Golf & Country Club, Skåne, Sweden, where it has been played eight times in the past.
The Omega European Masters at Crans-sur-Sierre, Crans Montana, Switzerland, from September 3-6 will once more launch the start of the qualifying race for places in The European Team for The Ryder Cup which, in 2010, is being played on The Twenty Ten course at The Celtic Manor Resort, Newport, South Wales, from October 1-3.

Fraser Clarke wins Spence Trophy with ease

By DEREK JOHNSTONE
Leading qualifier Fraser Clarke (Westhill) strolled to victory in the Spence Trophy boys' tournament, sponsored by Kings Links Golf Centre, at the Kings’ Links today.
In the morning semi-final, he accounted for Newburgh’s Steven Sharp 4 and 3 and followed that with a convincing 5 and 4 victory in the final against Donald McAndrew (Royal Aberdeen).
Par figures at the first three holes in the afternoon final saw Fraser three up on the fourth tee. Donald reduced the deficit with a birdie at the fourth, but pars at the seventh and ninth saw Fraser four up at the turn.
A winning par for Fraser on the 10th was negated by a Donald birdie on the 11th. However, an impressive day’s golf was completed when Fraser birdied the difficult 14th for a deserved victory.
The third/fourth play-off was won by Matthew McWilliam who was never behind in beating Steven Sharp 3 and 1. The highlights of Matthew’s round were birdies at the fourth, eighth and 12th.
Details:

Richie Ramsay clinches place on

2009 European Tour with second

Challenge Tour win this season

From Steve Todd, European Challenge Tour Press Officer
Aberdeen's Richie Ramsay clinched his second European Challenge Tour victory with a final round four under par 68 at the AGF – Allianz Golf Open Grand Toulouse today.
Ramsay, pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency, finished on 19-under-par 269, two shots clear of runner-up Richard McEvoy, of England, who closed with a 67 at the Golf de Toulouse course in Seilh, France.
The 25-year-old Ramsay, who became the first Scot to win the US Amateur Championship in over 100 years in 2006, posted six birdies before dropping a shot on the 13th hole, although he immediately recovered that shot on the 14th.
He then bogeyed the 16th to set up a nervous ending but the man from the Royal Aberdeen club produced one of the best shots of his fledgling professional career on the last, firing his five iron approach over the water to stop 15ft from the pin, to give himself two putts for victory.
Ultimately though it was his course record-equalling 64 in Saturday's third round that gave him his second Challenge Tour title, following his victory at the Vodafone Challenge in Germany in August.
He said: “I’m over the moon with this win because all of my hard work has paid off. It’s great to win from the front. I just had the confidence to go out there and win. I played lovely today and hit some great shots.
“The approach on the last was difficult and it was probably the best shot of my professional career. That was the defining moment coming down the last with a two shot lead and to produce a shot like that.
“I believed in myself before I went out. You’ve got to learn to win mentally and I did it as an amateur and I’m relearning as a professional. Padraig Harrington says you got to give yourself a chance on the back nine and that’s where you win it and he is right."
The €22,400 first prize moves Ramsay up to sixth on the Challenge Tour Rankings with €103,245 and assures him playing privileges on The European Tour for 2009 with just two tournaments remaining of the current Challenge Tour campaign.
“The win is great but the main thing has always been to get my card and I now need to make sure I’m in the top 10 to get the best ranking,” said Ramsay
McEvoy posted five birdies – all of them on the front nine – to put the pressure on the Scot but he could not pick up any more shots on the way in and had to settle for second place, with Erik Tage Johansen of Norway third on 15 under par 273.

Steven O'Hara from Motherwell and former Scottish amateur champion Andrew McArthur from Windyhill finished a creditable joint fifth on 13-under 275.

George Murray from Anstruther finished on a high note with a 66 for 278.

Thrilling climax to Alfred Dunhill Links Championship

Karlsson beats Kaymer and Fisher
in play-off at St Andrews

Sweden’s Robert Karlsson birdied the first extra hole of a sudden death play-off against England’s Ross Fisher and Germany’s Martin Kaymer to win a thrilling Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on the Old Course at St Andrews today.
Karlsson celebrated his second victory in succesive tournaments after hitting his wedge to three feet on the first hole of the Old Course and rolling in the putt, while Kaymer missed his eight foot birdie chance and Fisher hit an enormous drive - straight into the Swilken Burn.
Karlsson, Fisher and Kaymer all finished on a 10-under-par total of 278 on a day of stunning scoring on the Old Course as the wind of the previous three days dropped and a bright sun encouraged an abundance of birdies.
Karlsson produced one of the biggest improvements, trading a 76 at Carnoustie on Saturday for his brilliant 65 in the final round at St Andrews. The victory with its first prize of US$800,000 (£432,000) takes Karlsson to the top of the European Order of Merit.
He said: “I was very emotional sitting on the steps there for the prize-giving. The Old Course is the sort of course you learn to fall in love with. The more you play it, the more you understand it. I had a pretty good feeling for the play-off hole. It was a 3-wood and a wedge – perfect for me.
"The good thing was that it was slightly downwind so I knew I was going to get into my best range, about 100 yards, for my second shot. It was a funny week, coming from four shots behind and with so many guys up there ahead of me. You should have seen me at Carnoustie on Saturday. I played some bad holes. I just went out there today and tried to do my best.
"I got off to a really good start and all of a sudden I was up there on the leaderboard and I just tried to keep it going. It’s amazing that I have won it. I don’t know how I’ve done it.”
Ross Fisher had also hauled himself back into contention with a splendid seven-under-par 65 which featured an outward nine of 31 and an eagle 3 at the 14th hole where he chipped in. He said: “I think the Old Course was there for the taking today. I played it Friday and it was pretty brutal, a 40-50mph wind, so we knew the forecast was going to be more generous for us today.
"I just wanted to put in a good performance. I got off to a great start, then came the eagle which was massive. I knew my birdie putt on the 18th might be to win. It was a little left-to-right and I left it in the jaws. It was a shame, but I can’t be too disappointed.”
With two holes to go, victory had seemed to be in the grasp of 23-year-old Kaymer, who would have been the youngest winner of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. He had birdied the 16th hole to go one ahead of Karlsson and Fisher, but he immediately gave the shot back at the infamous (17th) Road Hole where his second finished short of the green and he failed to get down in two.
A birdie at the 18th hole would also have given him victory, but he could only manage a par 4. It was a disappointing end to what had been an emotional week for Kaymer, who had been playing in the team championship with his brother Philip, whose caddie for the week was their father Horst.
Kaymer’s mother died from cancer in July, only days after his victory on home soil in the BMW International in Munich and the time in Scotland has been an opportunity for family bonding. Kaymer said: “I was disappointed after having chances on the last two holes to win the tournament, but I think overall it was a really good week for me. I was really close to winning and it gives me a lot of pleasure. It was very special to play with my brother and father. It was a nice week for us all.”
The enthusiastic St Andrews galleries were all expecting a charge from two-time winner Padraig Harrington, who famously came from behind this year to win the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale and the US PGA title at Oakland Hills, but it never materialised.
Two behind as he teed off, the Irishman started with two bogeys in the first four holes, and, although he managed three birdies around the turn, he could never get himself into contention. He said: “It was an anti-climax for me. I started off with some really bad shots and struggled, then I made a few birdies but it all fell apart. I wasn’t playing well enough or confident enough. It’s hard to get away with it on a Sunday when you are not prepared right.”
The tournament, conceived as a celebration of links golf, is played over three of the world’s best known and respected links courses - the Old Course at St Andrews, the Championship Course at Carnoustie and the highly regarded Kingsbarns Golf Links.
Joining the professionals were an enthusiastic group of talented amateur golfers.
The team championship too provided a thrilling climax. England’s John Bickerton and South African Bruce Watson had taken a five-shot lead into the final round, but they had to fend off a determined challenge by Robert Karlsson and Dermot Desmond, the highlight of which was a 2 by the Irish businessman at the short 11th hole for a net one.
Eventually, however, Bickerton and Watson held on for a better-ball 66, compared to Karlsson and Desmond’s 60 to win by one shot on 27-under-par.
South African businessman Watson, who lives in Johannesburg and is a member of the River Club and Leopard Creek, only knew for sure he had a place in the championship last Thursday. He said: “I was in London on business so cancelled all my appointments this week and jumped on a plane to Scotland. So I’ve gone from not knowing I was in it to winning it.
“It’s quite unbelievable and I want to pay tribute to my partner, John Bickerton, who was absolutely the best partner I could have hoped for. He is a true gentleman and he has helped me to get through the event with his advice. He has even been lining up putts for me.
"When he comes to play in South Africa in December, we will definitely meet up and I will have the chance to entertain John and his new wife - they married only last Saturday.
"The gross 75 I shot at Carnoustie on the first day, was the round of my life. I think that coming into this tournament, for the first time, at such short notice was actually a good thing. It was all so hectic that I had no time for nerves. If I’d known for months that I was going to play I think I would have been far more nervous.”
Although they could not quite make up the gap, Sir Ian Botham and his partner David Howell chased the leaders all the way, finishing on 22-under-par. Sir Ian said: “I am absolutely delighted to finish so high in the team event. David and I had a 63 today and although we didn’t win it still feels good to have played well and as ever I have really enjoyed the tournament.
"I used to play with my good friend Ian Woosnam, but now to have the privilege of having David as my new partner was fantastic. He’s a great player, a lovely bloke and tremendous company.” Every day Sir Ian has worn plus twos and long socks, in various striking colours, although today they were grey. He joked: “Actually, as Woosie wasn’t here this time, I decided that it was only right to wear his trousers instead. I’ve had a lot of complimentary comments about them.”

Ayrshire beat Renfrewshire 5-4
in Scottish area team final

By ROBIN WILSON
Ayrshire won the Scottish Golf Union's area team championship final at Tain Golf Club today.
Once again - as it was in both the Saturday semi-finals - it was a 5-4 result with Renfrewshire the beaten finalists.
Ayrshire last won the title in 1986 when the semi-finals and final were played at Murcar Links. There must be something about the air north of Perth that brings the best of of the Men from Ayrshire.

It took a birdie on the last green by Ayrshire third pair, Brian Moore and John Shanks to give their team a 2-1 lunchtime lead. As in both the semi-finals, a foursomes lead was decisive in the final analysis.

Ayrshire will want to take Tain's par-5 13th hole home with them. John Cairney, an eagle 3, and and Tommy McInally, an albatross 2 (with a four iron), both won this hole on their way to individual wins that in the final reckoning took the trophy to Ayrshire.

Cairmey won his game 2 and 1 against Matthew Clark to level up the singles scores at 2-2, Ayrshire's Steven McEwan having beaten Gordon Stevenson 3 and 2 in the top singles and David Miller and Craig Watson have countered for Renfrewshire by beating George Robetson (2 and 1) and John Shanks (4 and 3) respectively.

With Renfrewshire's Ronnie Clark putting his side ahead 3-2 in the singles with a 5 and 3 win over Brian Moore, the overall score was tied up at 4-4, everything hinged on the outcome of the McInally v Mudro Carmichael tie.

After winning the 13th with his albatroos, McInally lost the 14th to Carmichael's par 4 to go back to only one ahead. Carmichael then put a ball into the river from the tee at the 16th to go dormie two down but won back the 17th with a par 3.

Going to the wire at the final hole still one up Mcinally holed a winning 5ft putt to which gave Ayrshire their 5-4 victory.

Late bogeys cost Ian Poulter
victory in Korea Open

Ian Poulter bogeyed the 16th and 18th and finished runner-up - beaten by one shot - in the Kolon-Hana Bank Korea Open today.
Local hero Bae Sang-moon fired a final round of two-under-par 69 for a winning total of 11-under-par 273 to catch the flatering who shot a 70 to claim second place in the US$ 1 million event.
As a result of his success, Bae walked away with the top prize of US$240,384 and rises to fifth place on the Asian Tour’s Order of Merit.
“I'm extremely happy and I don’t think I’ve realised the magnitude of my win. I'm very proud of myself,” said Bae.
American Anthony Kim was even-par for the day to finish in a tie for third place alongside overnight leader Kim Wi-joong who produced a 72 at the Woo Jeong Hills Country Club.
Former winner Kim Dae-sub shot a 72 for lone fifth place while Korea’s Lee in-woo nailed a lowly 65 to finish in joint sixth spot together with compatriot Kim Hyung-tae and Australia’s Jason King who carded a 70 and 69 respectively.
Bae, who won the SK Telecom Open last year, was delighted to have overcome the elite field and nail his second win on the Asian Tour.
The champion held his game on the final charge when he was one under after nine holes. He kept it steady at the Perry O. Dye-designed course firing a birdie on the 10th hole followed by eight straight pars for a 69.
“The birdie on the 10th hole kept my momentum going for the rest of the day. That birdie gave me the confidence needed to keep it going in the closing holes,” admitted Bae.
It was a reflection of a consistent season on the Asian Tour for Bae who had previously chalked up three top-10 finishes this year. He enjoyed his breakthrough win last season and recorded one win on the local circuit in 2006.
Poulter, with seven wins in Europe, was leading the field heading home but the title slipped away when he struck bogeys on the 16th and 18th holes.
“I came here to win but I am going home second, so I’m not very happy. But it’s nice to come here with so many fans and I’m glad I could show them some good golf this week,” said the 32-year-old Englishman.
American Kim was disappointed with his final day efforts of two birdies against an equal number of bogeys to finish in tied third place.
“I am very disappointed. I let a lot of shots go today and this week. There is a lot for me to learn but hats off to the winner who played great.
“I had a good time and enjoyed the support from the fans, even though I played terrible in the last three days. But I’ll be back and I will be a much better player when I return,” said Kim.

Rain washes out Under-16s
foursomes at South Staffs

Persistent rain has washed out the morning foursomes in today's Under-16 boys' international match between Scotland and England at South Staffs Golf Cub.
If the rain does stop, the intention is to have a shotgun start for the singles but it's not looking good at the moment (11am).
