They’ll first have to get over the last hurdle of the regional finals at Pollok golf club next month.

Stuart Reekie, East Renfrewshire gold club pro, will play with amateur team mate Colin Graham to advance to the final of the prestigious Lombard Trophy, as will Williamwood PGA professional Stewart Marshall with his amateur partner Alex Forsyth.
