SCOTTISH MIXED FOURS
STUART AND ELAINE TEAM UP
FOR SCOTTISH MIXED FOURS
Two former Great Britain & Ireland international team players are to play together for the first time in the Scottish amateur mixed foursomes golf championship at Deeside Golf Club on Sunday, September 10.
Former Walker Cup player, 2004 Open leading amateur and British amateur champion also that year, Stuart Wilson, now the Forfar Golf Club secretary, is to partner Elaine Farquharson-Black, who played in two Curtis Cup matches, two Vagliano Trophy matches and won the Scottish women’s championship.
Elaine has two reasons for hoping the Scottish mixed foursomes is a success this year. She is an honorary member of Deeside Golf Club and she is a partner in the firm, Paull and Williamsons, who are sponsoring the tournament.
“I would like to see a few more entries coming in before the deadline of August 14 so that we have a really competitive tournament on September 10,” said Elaine, who still plays off scratch. Stuart Wilson has a handicap of +2.2.
“There are scratch and handicap prizes so it’s not just a tournament for low handicap players. The handicap limits are 18 for men and 36 for women.
If there are players out there who would like to enter but can’t find a partner, male or female, we, as sponsors, would do our best to pair people up.
“I am sure that Deeside Golf Club members would be ready to help.”
Entry fee is £15 per couple and entry forms can be downloaded from the Scottish Ladies Golfing Association website (www.slga.co.uk). Or call SLGA tournament secretary Fiona Farquharson on 01738 442357.
Paull and Williamsons’ contact number is 01224 621621.
Former British amateur champion Craig Watson (East Renfrewshire) and Carly Booth (Comrie) have won the Scottish mixed foursomes title for the past two years.
