ROSEANNE, SALLY AND GRAEME AMONG THE
QUALIFIERS FOR DUBAI CREEK TOURNAMENT
Three Scots – Graeme Mitchell (Northern), Roseanne Niven (Crieff) and Sally Watson (Elie & Earlsferry Ladies) – have been confirmed as members of a 21-strong party bound for the magnificent resort of Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club on Wednesday, October 11.
They are making the all-expenses-paid trip to compete for the Daily Telegraph junior golf championship over 54 holes from October 15 to 17.
Graeme Mitchell qualified with his eight-under-par record round of 62 at Hazlehead.
Roseanne also earned her place with a course record score – a seven-under-par 67 at her home club, Crieff. Graeme and Roseanne topped the respective boys' and girls' tables in the sub-par returns' format which was the basis for qualification.
