Davis & Elkins coach is coming talent-
spotting at Scottish boys championship
Scott Goddard, the Dean of Students and golf coach at Davis & Elkins College, West Virgina, is coming over to Aberdeen in early April to talent spot at the Scottish boys' match-play championship over the Royal Aberdeen Golf Club's Balgownie links.
From the evidence of their first tournament after the mid-winter break, Scott is certainly in need of fresh talent for his squad who hit rock bottom in the Panther Invite men's college tournament at Palm Bay, Florida this week.
Even allowing for bad weather for the 54-hole competition over a par-72, 6918yd, the scoring was poor.
Glasgow's Alasdair Forsythe was the best player in the Davis & Elkins squad, finishing 52nd in a field of 62 with a 44-over-par total of 260, made up of rounds of 88, 81 and 91.
Davis & Elkins were not even able to gain a final placing in the team event, won by Barry (925) ahead of Brevard CC (926), as one of their players, who did not break a hundred in either the first or third rounds had a No Return in the second round.
In fairness to Forsythe, even the winner of the event, Sam Wall (Brevard CC) finished 10 over par with a total of 226, scoring 80, 73 and 73. He won by a shot from Tyler Fox, also Brevard CC, who scored 78, 76 and 73.
