Coltart backs major new Scottish amateur comp
Former Ryder Cup star Andrew Coltart has thrown his weight behind a major new amateur golf competition taking place on Scotland's Golf Coast - East Lothian - next year. The Links Golf Cup will take place in East Lothian in March 2013, and will allow club golfers to compete in a championship-format event, over some of Scotland's finest links. Andrew Coltart's coaching company, TPEGS, is a corporate partner of the event and he says: "East Lothian is Scotland's Golf Coast, blessed with 396 golf holes and countless memories of Open Championships won and lost over the links here. "The Links Golf Cup is a unique opportunity for golfers to test themselves over four of our best courses, and I am really looking forward to being a part of it." The 72 hole TaylorMade sponsored competition, beginning on Monday 18th March, was developed with the aim of providing club golfers with a professional golf experience and giving them the feeling of competing as a top level pro. A prize table worth over £3,000 is up for grabs, and the overall winner will take home the specially commissioned trophy.
