Scottish Golf Develops Program To Ease Golfers' Transition To Pro Status

Scottish Golf developed a program to "ease young golfers' transition from amateur to professional status," according to David Currie of the BBC. Scottish Golf CEO Blane Dodds said that a new finance and support package for Scotland's "promising young golfers" will "help to establish them on the European Tour." Dodds added, "It's an initiative for helping the best talent we've got. It's taking away a lot of the management, logistics and hassles of life on tour." Ewen Ferguson and Grant Forrest are the first players to "benefit from the initiative." They will receive "funding for two years, as well as coaching and management support from the scheme," which is a partnership among Scottish Golf, Aberdeen Asset Management, SSE Hydro and Bounce Sports Management (BBC, 4/26).
