Bobby McGregor's son

is US college golfer

- not a swimmer!

His grandfather, David, was a member of the Great Britain water polo team in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin ... his father, Bobby, pictured left, was the "Falkirk Flyer," world record-setting free style swimmer at one time when he was pipped for the gold medal in the 1964 Tokio Olympics but won at the European Games and the Commonwealth Games.
Follow that, the next generation of McGregors - David McGregor, pictured right, from Helensburgh, a freshman student at Post University, Connecticutt where he has a sports scholarship ... not for swimming but GOLF.
David, 6ft 2in tall and a sophomore (second year) student, is one of three Scots in head golf coach Pete Stevens' squad.
The others? Jamie Blake from Arbroath, the playing captain of the team, and Gavin Wilson from Ladybank, Fife.
The Post University golf team - "The Eagles" - open their spring season this coming weekend. They will be competing in the Coker College Invitational at the prestigious Grande Dunes Resort at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The Eagles will be vying for their fourth consecutive CACC Conference Championship and a seventh consecutive trip to the NCAA Super Regional post-season tournament.
The Eagles are coming off their second New England DII Championship.
"We have a very competitive spring schedule which will test this team and prepare us for the post season. After the Coker tournament we are headed south again for the Pfeiffer tournament and then we go west to UC San Diego to play at Mission Viejo," said Stevens.
There is one Englishman in the Post University team - Lee Wanklyn from Reading, a South Africa, Marchant de Villers, and only one American, John Lussier from Vermont.
In the second half of the 2008-2009 college golf season, the Post University squad will be visiting Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; New London, North Carolina; San Diego, California; Wilmington, Delaware; Riverhead, New York State; and Beckley, West Virginia.
Plenty there, we're sure, for David McGregor and the other Scots to write home about!

Young McGregor, by the way, has already made his mark on the US college golf scene. Here's an excerpt from last June on the Post University website:

NORMAN, Okla.—Rising sophomore David McGregor was one of 10 golfers who earned Division II All-Northeast Region honors by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).
McGregor captured the 2008 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) individual championship, with an even-par score of 142 (75-67).
In very difficult conditions in the second-round, the Helensburgh, Scotland native carded a four-under par 67 to claim CACC Player of the Year and CACC Rookie of the Year honors. He was also named to the All-CACC Team, and earned CACC Player and CACC Rookie of the Week honours, twice, during the spring season.
In addition to his first place finish at the CACC Championships, McGregor finished second at the Goldey-Beacom Invitational with a score of 148 (77-71).

+Bobby McGregor, born 1944, retired from international swimming after the Mexico Olympics in 1968 to concentrate on becoming an architect.
