Erskine’s Clark is looking for a big swing in Austria
Erskine Golf Club’s Ronnie Clark has been named in Scottish Golf’s sides for the upcoming European Senior Team Championships and Senior Home Internationals.
Clark, from Bishopton, has been selected for the Team Championship which takes place at Diamond Golf Club in Austria from September 4 to 8, having already enjoyed a successful summer after winning this year’s Scottish Senior Men’s Open Championship.
Clark spearheads the side along with Dumfries and County’s Ian Brotherston, with the pair previously part of the team that won the title most recently in Slovenia in 2016.
In the Home Internationals, Southerness will play host to the Men’s Championship, where Scotland are looking to win the title for the first time since 2014 when it was last held in Scotland at North Berwick.
Clark also makes the cut for that side as the Scots field a strong seven-man group.
Elsewhere, former Curtis Cup player and Scotland women’s international, Alison Davidson, will represent the Senior team for the first time when the European Senior Ladies Team Championships takes place in Belgium, also September 4 to 8.
And making her senior debut is Elaine Moffat, winner of the Scottish Senior Women’s Match Play Championship and current joint leader of the Senior Women’s Order of Merit.
European Senior Men’s Team Championship side: Ian Brotherston (Dumfries and County Golf Club), Ronnie Clark (Erskine Golf Club), Stewart Henderson (Hamilton Golf Club), Lindsay Blair (Grangemouth Golf Club), Kenneth Gallagher (East Kilbride Golf Club), Robert Smith (Nairn Golf Club).
