Scotland’s West Dumbartonshire Council is facing further backlash after indicating a second ‘budget meeting’ has voted to close Dalmuir Golf Club while all may not be lost. The council had initially voted last year to close the public access golf course, located to the north of Glasgow on Scotland’s west coast however a petition disagreeing with the decision nipped that move in the bud.

Ewen Ferguson’s quietly-confident a nagging neck injury will not hinder him teeing-up in this week’s co-sanctioned Joburg Open. Ferguson, 28, has not competed since withdrawing​ after just six holes in the opening round of last month’s Qatar Masters​ in Doha.

Soon after I journeyed from the eastern Pacific Ocean shoreline in Australia, ...

Scott Jamieson surely can’t feel hard done by after heavy rain washed-out the final round of the 114th Investec South African Open in Durban. Jamieson had ended his third round late Saturday sharing ninth place at 10-under but with still a handful of golfers to complete their rounds due to darkness on the host Durban Country Club course. Among those still to complete his third round was South African Dylan Naidoo, 27-year-old, Joburg-born, current World No. 466 who had won twice on the Sunshine ...

Newly-crowned New Zealand Open champion Ryan Peake will be hoping his criminal past will not seriously affect the excitement a new career path. The 31-year-old Aussie stormed home to capture the 104th hosting of the New Zealand Open trophy thanks to a bogey-free final round 66 to win by a shot at 23-under at the stunning Millford Sound Resort course outside of Queenstown on New Zealand’s South Island. Peake was soaked in champers by his good friends and in what now is a remarkable story after ...
