Teenage golfers head to South Africa

Teenage golfers head to South Africa

Teenage Fife duo Ben Kinsley (St Andrews) and Connor Syme (Drumoig) and Perth’s Daniel Young (Craigie Hill) are seeking to shine in South Africa on the Scottish Golf Union’s winter performance training programme.

The nine-player squad journeyed to the Rainbow Nation on Sunday for competition and training.

Their schedule will include four major events on the South African circuit, the annual test match against the host nation and a triangular match against the South African Golf Development Board and the South African Golf Association, as well as a training camp to allow players to work on short game, swing and general fitness with support staff.

Twelve months ago the performance programme proved hugely beneficial to Blairgowrie’s Bradley Neil who credited his efforts in South Africa, including a tie for second at the Amateur Stroke Play, as a reason for going on to enjoy a successful season, including his Amateur Championship victory at Royal Portrush.

With Neil, who has just turned 19, preparing to travel to the US later this month for practice and a run of events in the lead up to his invite to The Masters at Augusta National in April, his fellow Scots will seek to shine in South Africa.

Steve Paulding, Scottish Golf Performance Manager, said: “Returning to South Africa provides valuable experience for our players, especially the younger ones, on and off the course. It also gives them competitive opportunities at this time of year ahead of the new domestic season.

“We have an exciting group of players in 2015 with a number of them looking to challenge for a Walker Cup place in September at Royal Lytham. We are hugely grateful to all our supporters who effectively fund this whole trip.”
