Former amateur star in new role

GB&I Walker Cup captain Stuart Wilson has turned back the clock to take charge of The Blairgowrie Golf Club.

The former Amateur champ succeeds Steven Morgan as managing secretary of the Perthshire club, after 15 years in a similar role with his home club Forfar.

Family man Stuart, 43, took-up the reins in January this year, with pandemic restrictions and the winter weather presenting immediate challenges.

“There’s not many clubs I would have moved to from my home club but this is one of them,” he said.

“I have had a close affinity with Blairgowrie since I left school and spent two seasons working in the shop for long-time professional Gordon Kinnoch. It’s great to be back here in a full-time position.”

Wilson said he’s keen to help develop the youth talent at the club and to see more boys and girls coming through.
