European Tour School 2nd stage

Hi all, apologies for my absence over the past week or so. I have just arrived in Spain where I am caddying for my friend Shaun McAllister. Over the next few days I will have a chance to see some of our top guys in action and will be posting scores from all 3 venues.

European Tour School

As a lot of people will know the second stage of tour school is fast approaching and with this in mind I would like to bring up the subject of how expensive it is. The entry cost alone is around £1500 and then on top of that you have got expenses for first, second and even third stage if you get that far. I feel this would be a great time for potential sponsors to back Scottish amateurs and professionals as even if the finance were made available to fund tour school at the end of it a sponsor may be backing a European Tour player. The cost for the whole of tour school will be around £5000 and you can play great an get through first and second stage but if you miss the cut at third stage you are left with nothing. The question I ask is this, is the potential cost of tour school pricing our guys out of entering?

Woods 'Majors are more impotant than no.1 spot'!

Tiger Woods has come out and said that after being knocked off the top of the world rankings by Lee Westwood that his main aim now is to beat the major record set by Jack Nicklaus. This for me brings up the questions of how important is the world ranking and how fair is the points system. Lee Westwood has play some great golf in recent times but should a player who has not won a major be the top ranked player in the world? What do you think?
