Top Scottish golfer Grant Forrest has revealed his expectant wife is due to give birth to the couple’s first child on the final day of next month’s DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. Forrest and wife Christy were married in January in a lavish ceremony at Archerfield House and not far from where the couple now reside.

Recent headlines of spectator price rises for the hosting of the 2025 Ryder Cup took my mind back a good few years and the day we were extended the invitation to tee-up on the famed host Bethpage Park Black course. Actually, it was just over six years ago the PGA of America generously arranged a media outing in August 2018 ahead of the 2019 PGA Championship, and when Brooks Koepka was handed the Rodman Wanamaker trophy for a second straight year. I had taken photographs from the outing that I found ...

Four Scots will touch down in far-off South Korea tomorrow afternoon (Monday 21st October local Seoul time) with more than this week’s Genesis Championship, and third last event of the season, on their collective minds. Gleneagles-attached Calum Hill seeks to cement his place in the final two events of the season taking place next month in the UAE while Richie Ramsay and Scott Jamieson will be desperate to extend their season at least into the first of the two and that being the November 7th commencing ...

Maguire brilliantly got up-and-down from a greenside bunker for birdie at the 72nd hole in his round of 65 before claiming ...

Belgian Thomas Detry was singing the praise of playing partner Bob MacIntyre after the pair combined to share eighth place at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Detry and MacIntyre were sharing the lead with five holes to play before a pair of bogeys at 15 and 17 jolted their victory quest before posting a 69 in a four-round 22-under-par tally on the host TPC Louisiana course. Their combined effort earned the Scot and Belgian $150,000 each behind the all-Irish winning duo of Rory McIlroy and Shane ...

As true golf fans will know, the chances of ever teeing-up to play Augusta National are near impossible. Even attempting to approach anywhere near the Augusta National front gates facing Washington Road and you know you’re going to be ‘hassled’ by security personnel. Though there is one golf course in sleepy Augusta, Georgia where you are welcome and where you can play golf even on the Wednesday afternoon of Masters week when the famed Masters host course at Augusta National golf ...

The weather forecast for the start of the 88th hosting of the Masters is not all that encouraging – heavy rain from around 3am Thusday Augusta time and continuing strongly through to near midday accompanied also by strong winds. It is forecasted that also states that there is a chance of the rain continuing well up to midnight on day one. If so, and as it being predicted, there could be suspensions to play if, of course, greens begin to flood. Fortunately, the forecast for the remaining three ...
