Knox must have felt he was headed for an eighth missed cut in succession this season when he doubled the second hole three-putting the second hole for a ‘6’ on the host Detroit GC course.
However, the proud Scot dug deep and immediately regained the dropped shots with birdies at the third and fourth holes, and none better ...

Askernish – Making The Journey Adds So Much To The Golfing Experience.
It was not lost that in 1891 Old Tom Morris made the same journey from the Home of Golf at his beloved St. Andrews to then-unknown reaches of South Uist in the Scottish Outer Hebrides.
Eight-and-a-half years before the dawn of the 20th century it had taken Old Tom and his dear colleague, and back-to-back British Amateur champion, Horace Hutchinson, close to three days travelling by rail, by ferry and then by horse-and-cart to reach a stately-looking abode overlooking what would then be Old Tom’s ...
