NEVER FORGETS HIS ROOTS

Brilliant to have past junior member Cormack Sharpe come along tonight before he heads back to Minnesota on Sunday. He took out Stuart Duncan to give him a some tips and guidance and I’m sure having witnessed his display tonight that he will have definitely inspired him. Cormack hit 2 irons on the first to the back of the green for his first birdie and followed it up with another five birdies on 9, 10, 12, 13 and 15, where he found the green with his tee shot. 

Cormack was very interested in how things are going within the junior section and we had a great chat going round. He was also telling us about his experiences of playing University golf and all the travelling they have to do, especially during the Winter when they can’t play at home. He played with Peter Uihlein recently in The Open qualifier, and finished 1 shot ahead of him, the following week Peter picked up $500,000 for finishing 30th on the LIV tour. He also played a round with Bryson DeChambeau when his team played at Bryson’s home course and asked to join them. It’s amazing all the things he has achieved so far and when I asked him what the highlight of the season was for him, his answer was being picked for Scotland to play in the Home Internationals. 

It’s fantastic to have been involved in his very early development and an honour that he respects this enough to give up his time to help us out. The sign of a true sportsman and genuinely good man.
