Paul Ferrier's first college

tournament of 2009 is

cancelled because of rain

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
One thing that baffles me about the American college circuit - men's and women's - is that with places like California, Arizona and Florida where venues are playable all the year round, there is a mid-winter break of at least two months, more like three months for some colleges, when NO college tournaments are played.
Maybe somebody can give me the answer sometime.
What brought it to mind was a message today from Iain Ferrier, whose son Paul won the 2007 Scottish boys' match-play championship at Dunbar.
Iain wrote:
"Paul was due to play his first tournament of the spring today and tomorrow - the Lonnie D Small Classic - but unfortunately it has been rained off! His next one is the Southern Highlands Collegiate from March 13 to 15, assuming he is still in the team!"
But Iain did send Kirkwoodgolf.co.uk a couple of new action pictures of Paul, sent to him by the University of Charlotte golf coach. I've published one of them with this article.
Thanks, Iain.
