INVERKEITHING HIGH BOY SCORES DOUBLE
VICTORY AT DUNHILL SCHOOLS CHALLENGE
Many of the world’s leading golf professionals and top amateurs led the applause as the winners of the Alfred Dunhill Schools Golf Challenge were presented with their prizes at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship Welcome Party.
Colin Montgomerie and Hollywood stars Hugh Grant and Samuel L. Jackson were among those in the Alfred Dunhill Pavilion overlooking the 17th green on the Old Course as the presentations were made by Julian Diment, Marketing Director of Alfred Dunhill Ltd.
Angus Ritchie, aged 17, from Inverkeithing High School won the double as overall scratch winner and winner of the Senior Boy category.
The net category winners were Louise Smith and siblings Jenna and David Scott. Golf is obviously in their blood as their father is David Scott, Director of Golf at Kingsbarns, one of the three golf courses featured in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
All contestants in the Alfred Dunhill Schools Golf Challenge, along with their parents and a school representative, will receive tickets for the final round of the championship on Sunday, where they will be invited to an exclusive golf clinic given by internationally renowned golf coach Robert Baker.
Baker said: “This is a superb competition which encourages golf in schools in the area. I am really looking forward to meeting these youngsters and working with them. If kids can get the right coaching early enough in their golf career it will help them enormously for many years to come. And there is always the chance that we discover a champion.”
Angus shot an impressive 79 gross in adverse weather conditions to take the overall scratch prize from a field of 110 from 18 schools from Fife, Tayside and Angus. The Alfred Dunhill Schools Golf Challenge was held on Sunday, June 24, and was decided by one 18 hole round of medal play over the testing Torrance Course at Fairmont St Andrews.
Aimed at encouraging school-aged golfers to enjoy the unique challenges of links golf the competition was played in four divisions, off handicap, in addition to the overall Scratch Prize.
The winners were:
Junior Boy: David Scott from Bell Baxter High School with a net score of 69.
Junior Girl: Louise Smith from Grove Academy with a net score of 79.
Senior Boy: Angus Ritchie from Inverkeithing High School with a net score of 71.
Senior Girl: Jenna Scott from Bell Baxter High School with a net score of 79
