EISENHOWER TROPHY WARM-UP

SGU SEND FIVE PLAYERS TO SOUTH
AFRICAN CHAMPIONSHIP

The Scottish Golf Union, looking ahead to the Eisenhower Trophy world men’s team amateur championship in October, will send five players to compete in the South African open amateur championship at Stellenbosch Golf Club from March 5 to 11.
The Eisenhower Trophy is being played over the same course in October.
Scotland was one of 17 countries to accept an invitation from the South African Golf Association to send players to compete in its national championship with a view to familiarising themselves with the course and conditions.
In all 71 players from overseas countries will be exempt from the pre-qualifying stages.
The Scottish players who will fly to South Africa on February 27 are:
Glenn Campbell (Blairgowrie), Scott Jamieson (Cathkin Braes), Jonathan King (Glasgow), George Murray (Earlsferry Thistle), Lloyd Saltman (Craigielaw).
Walker Cup player Richie Ramsay (Royal Aberdeen), meantime competing in Australian events, is not available to make the reconnaissance trip to South Africa due to his Stirling University commitments.
