Former Open champion and recent European Tour winner Paul Lawrie will be taking part in a special exhibition match at a Perthshire golf club later this month.
Fresh from his first-place finish in the Andalucian Open, the Aberdonian is to partner Blairgowrie Golf Club professional Charles Dernie against two of their finest golfers, George Brass, runner-up in the club championship, and Stuart Graham, the Perth and Kinross County Matchplay champion.
Lawrie is looking forward to teaming up again with Dernie a top international referee with Ryder Cup experience as the pair worked together at Banchory Golf Club.
The one-off match will take place over the Rosemount Course on Wednesday, April 20.
Blairgowrie managing secretary Douglas Cleeton said, “It is a real honour to have a player of Paul’s calibre play at the club.
“We are very grateful that Paul, who continues to perform at the highest level and who has many commitments to his golf foundation, has taken the time to play here.
“It’s not that often that members of a golf club get to see a top-class professional in an informal match but this is a golden opportunity for our members, and those with a golfing interest, to see how the game should be played.The match tees off at 1pm. Members and their guests, family and friends are welcome to spectate.
