Scottish professionals need a stepping stone to the Challenge Tour!

There are a number of tours that offer cards on the Challenge Tour, (the Euro Pro and Alps Tour are examples of this), and yes these tours are both open to Scottish players but tours outside of Scotland are extremely expensive for our guys to play. There seems to me to be a real need for either a new Scottish Tour or a development of an already existing tour, for example the Tartan Tour that offer Challenge Tour cards. Good prize money is one thing but Challenge Tour cards being available to say the top 3 guys in the final order of merit is what will really push our guys through the ranks. Remember a certain Molinari brother was playing a full Challenge Tour season in 2009 and look where he is today. So lets not just offer our guys a tour with purely financial rewards but offer rewards which in my opinion are far greater!
