JOHNSTON SMILLIE SUPPORTS 

JAMES McGHEE

At 24yrs of age I have played for Scotland at both Boys and Youth levels and journeyed to South Carolina on a golf scholarship.  I was named in the Conference Team 2004 (Regional select in South Carolina) and won the Open pre-qualifying in 2004 but narrowly missing the Open at Littlestone by two shots.  I have qualified a further twice, but on both attempts I missed out.  I was joint winner of the Niagara Trophy when I shot 7 under in 18 holes to tie the lead (Made bogey at the last!!).

I shot 7 under at Bathgate in a tournament but was disqualified because my partner never made his tee time at West Lothian!!  This score was a combined score for both players.  Although not a tournament, I nearly shot 59 at Dunbar in a game, missing my putt at the last.  Needless to say I was extremely disappointed.

I currently work at Turnhouse where I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to play and teach.  I am very thankful to the team at Johnston Smillie for their support, without which I would not be able to enter my events and progress as a golfer.  I love golf and my life revolves around it.  I want to be the best and I am prepared to put in the hard work and dedication to achieve my goal of playing full-time on tour. I know there are thousands of people who share my dream, but with the support of Johnston Smillie and my hunger I am sure that my game can only get better!
