Zack, Elliot and I arrived on Tuesday in Durban.  It rained for most of the time.  On the first day of the tournament, Elliot was off early and I was off in the afternoon.  Play was suspended for the day when Elliot was on the third tee.  The rain never let up all day.

The following morning play resumed to blue skies.  I played pretty solid and fought like a bear to make birdies to counter act any mistakes I had made.  The second round saw me three over in the first nine holes, but I finished with three birdies for a total of two under for my two rounds.

Zack  came out to caddy for me and was a great help.

Due to the bad weather the tournament was cut to 3 days with the final two rounds being played on Sunday (today)

Getting home to Scotland is proving to be a nightmare as one flight is cancelled after another.  We were meant to fly to London but gather Heathrow is closed due to snow.

Thankfully we have found a flight flying  to Dubai then onto Glasgow missing out London Heathrow. Fingers crossed Glasgow airport stays open.

Elliot and I would like to thank everyone for their emails and txts, congratulating us on gaining out European Tour cards.  It was very much appreciated, many thanks .

To win my European Tour Card feels fantastic, and to have Elliott get his card makes it extra special – unbelievable! I hardly put a foot wrong today – to make only one bogey on that course was pretty good going – so it’s up there with the best rounds of my career, and certainly the most important.

I’ve been in the top 30 most of the week, and just lost a few places yesterday, but I’m proud of the way I finished the job off and I’m sure my parents are proud of me too. I owe them a lot for the support they’ve shown us, so hopefully this goes some way towards repaying them.

It’s taken me a while but I’ve got there. I’ve stuck by everything that’s served me well over the years and I’ve been with my coach Colin Brooks for 12 years.

Some people thought I should change things when it was not going so well. But I stayed confident and trusted what I was doing and have just kept going. The tour was always the goal and it’s going to be great to be a part of it.

It has been a tough few days in Cadiz, playing second stage of Q school  due to the bad weather, although I hear back  home  the weather has and still is horrendous with snow and freezing temperatures.

I am delighted Elliot my older brother has qualified to final stage as well.  We have rented a villa nearby the  course

We both have full challenge tour playing rights for next year, but would love to make the step up to European Tour.

The final is held over 2 courses, we played one of them today and will play the other tomorrow.

Looking forward to the start which is Saturday and hopefully playing well.

Recently I am a lot happier with my performance and the results are showing all my hard work is paying off.  I played an EuroPro event a few weeks back as no Challenge Tour Event was taking place – finishing 2nd.

I traveled to Russia where I had another good week finishing 9th.  Fortunately I seem to always play well in Russia.   The following week I continued my good form, finishing 3rd in Toulouse.  I am now in Roma.  I had a nightmare getting here.  I was to fly out of Edinburgh at 6am yesterday.  After sitting on the plane for an hour, was told to disembark as there was a technical problem.  Eventually the flight was cancelled.  Luckily I was able to catch a flight from Glasgow Prestwick, arriving in Roma at 11pm.

I teed of at 8.30 this morning without having seen the course or practiced on the greens.  I played well considering, finishing 2 over.  Loosing a ball on the 11th was just down to the fact of not knowing the course. I’m teeing off tomorrow at 1pm.

I will keep you updated.

Shot one under in the second round which wasnt low enough to make the cut.

Off to Cairo today to play in the European Tour Challenge Egyptian Open.

In a few weeks I am going to put in some extra practice before second stage of  Tour School playing some tournaments with my Brothers in Spain.

Thank you all for logging into my website.  It is very much appreciated.

Since April, I have been playing European Challenge Tour events in Turkey,  France, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Aviemore in Scotland, Morocco and last week in La Gomera an Island of Tenerife.   Yesterday I played in The Open Regional Qualifier at Scotscraig, where I lost in a play off.

It was very disappointing as I would have loved to play back at St Andrews where I won the Silver Medal in 2005.

Elliot and I are  today in Sweden for the Challenge Event.  It was very hard to get up this morning  to catch the early  flight, as I have played eight tournaments on the bounce, but loving every minute.

I have had a mixture of results the best finishing 11th in Scotland.  It has been good playing with my brothers Elliot and Zack  who also played in Morocco and Elliot played La Gomera last week finishing second.

Thank you for your emails and questions.
