Stuart Hutchison Trophy

We held the Stuart Hutchison Trophy at Swanston golf club today.

This event is for the lowest scratch score for boys and girls on the day. The event is in memory of Stuart Hutchison who was an assistant Professional at Swanston but who tragically died in a car accident in 2009. Stuart was passionate about kids golf and his family kindly donated the trophies for the event. The Hutchison family have been great supporters of the Foundation and through fund raising events in 2013, kindly handed a cheque for £600 over to Stephen at the presentation. This is money that will be well used for the benefit of all children in golf.

Today we had a record number of 110 children taking part, many thanks to all the volunteers on the day and special mention to Edinburgh Golf, Golphin for Kids, Midlothian Ladies, Swanston Golf Club and Swanston's own Oliver Morton for all their help on the day.

We were fortunate that Stephen was able to make the day from his busy schedule and all the children enjoyed Stephen starting them off and giving them some tips on the day.

The scoring on the day, was excellent, as usual. Special mention to Aidan O Hagan (Under 10) who won the Boys Stuart Hutchison Trophy with an excellent 1 under par 26. In the girls section Megan Linton retained her title from 2013 with an excellent score of 37 to win on a countback from Grace Crawford (age 7).
