First of ten programmes
The professionals competing this year for the Whyte and Mackay Scotch Trophy are the evergreen Lee Trevino , master improviser and shot maker, and the self-effacing but self-confident Sandy Lyle. They provide a feast of golf over the next ten weeks.
Their partners include the regulars such as Jimmy Tarbuck , Bruce Forsyth and Terry Wogan , and the emerging golfing talent in the shape of Russ Abbot , Sandy Gall and Tom O'Connor.
