Tony Jacklin and Gary Player are the host professionals over the next ten weeks for the Whyte and Mackay Scotch Trophy.
Tony Jacklin 's outstanding achievements - winning the British and American Opens in the same year and as captain of the triumphant Ryder Cup team in 1985 - have confirmed him as a golfing hero. His partner is Jasper Carrott , who has an approach to golf that is all his own. Gary Player, having won all golfs major honours, is now, at 51, reaping even richer rewards on the senior circuit. He is joined by ex-World Snooker Champion Cliff Thorburn , whose golf swing is as smooth as his cueing action.
In future weeks, watch out for such stars as Nigel Mansell , Howard Keel and Christopher Lee.
Peter Alliss describes the action over nine selected holes of the Ailsa Course at Turnbery.

Oliver Cromwell was a tyrant, a repressed religious bigot who murdered a king, ruthlessly ended the world's first socialist movement and had grand designs to make himself King Oliver I. Oliver Cromwell was a superb man - patriotic, a magnificent warrior and civilised with a tremendous sense of humour, a bursting conscience in matters of state and religion and personally unambitious. Which assessment even approaches the truth? Views of Oliver Cromwell vary as much today as when Parliament asked him to become King in 1657. How do modern historians view the parliamentarian who some have called the greatest Englishman? With Christopher Hill, Hugh Trevor-Roper, Blair Worden, Ivan Roots and Brendan Bradshaw

In step-families, new relationships have to be formed, and love can be won - and lost.
Sarah and Julia [text removed] had been living alone with their mother Alison when Frank and his two children moved in. Suddenly, two families, with different histories, are thrown together in one small cramped cottage. Sue [text removed] was left on her own when she split up from her husband, with no money and three children in a council flat in York.
Eventually Keith came into her life. Ten-year-old Jack is far from happy. He just wants his dad back.
RAF Flt Lt Mike [text removed] and his three children met Ruth, a single parent with two children. The happy new family is now extended - Mike and Ruth have a baby daughter, [text removed]. But the tensions can still be dramatic.
