Scottish golf club honours long-serving PGA pro in unusual way
By Martin Dempster - The Scotsman
16th at Uphall has been named ‘Gordon Law’ in recognition of his 35 years at West Lothian club
A well-known Scottish PGA professional has had a hole named after him in recognition of his 35-year service at one golf club.
The 16th at Uphall Golf Club in West Lothian will now be known simply as ‘Gordon Law’ after the man who was widely known as ‘Mr Uphall’.
In his time flying the flag for the club, Law won the Scottish PGA Championship, Northern Open and PGA Professional Championship. He also played in the PGA Cup on three occasions and made the cut in the 125th Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes in 1996 as a qualifier.
Gordon Law left Uphall Golf Club earlier this year after serving as the club’s first PGA professional for 35 years | Contributed
At one time, the ‘Lawman’ held the course record at no less than seven venues at a time when the Tartan Tour’s leading lights included record money-winner Colin Gillies, who passed away recently.
Law decided it was time to take a well-deserved break earlier this year and now his legacy at Uphall will be remembered by both members and visitors alike.
“Without Gordon in charge, the club would not have been able to organise some of the most amazing events we have held over the years, such as his well-known Pro Days and invitational Silloths,” said the club in an email to members. “During several of these Pro Days, Gordon would host the renowned ‘nearest the pin at 16 with a left-handed club` after a few beers!
“Off the course, Gordon's influence, passion, and commitment to our club were critical to the construction of our new clubhouse after the old one was destroyed by a fire in 2021. He put together and chaired the project team that resulted in the amazing new building we have today.
“The club committee thought that these accomplishments and efforts should now be acknowledged as a token of appreciation and, so the decision to rename our iconic 16th hole was taken following a number of conversations and recommendations.
“It will now be known as 'Gordon Law', This has been included on our new tee sign and will be on our new scorecards.”
The 16th hole at Uphall will now be known simply as ‘Gordon Law’
Law was Uphall’s first professional, with his big shoes having been filled by Sam Craigon, who has been put in place by Craig Donnelly Golf.
“When I sent Gordon a picture of the tee sign, his response was very typical of him and his sense of humour,” said the club’s match secretary, Stephen Jamieson.
"He replied by saying: ‘It’s really good, though I don’t really require any legacy…and I wonder how long it will take to be defaced!”

Kevin Duncan smashes Deeside Course Record with an incredible round
Deeside Pro Goes Low
Congratulations to Deeside Golf Club Professional Kevin Duncan who just scored an incredible 57 (-13) off the medal whites tees playing with member Ben Smith.An absolutely amazing achievement having submitted a general play round as he keeps a handicap at the club to keep competitive. The previous lowest round was 60 around the old course before the redesign a few years ago.Previous lowest handicap differential recorded by the USGA under WHS was around -10 - Kev’s differential for his 57(-13) was a staggering -12.9 reducing his handicap from +2.1 to +4.5. This kind of reduction would normally take years to achieve at this level of handicap.Kevin mainly works in the Deeside Pro shop but has played as a tournament professional in the past on the EPD Tour around Europe with one victory. He plays the North East Alliance every year and is always one of the main contenders each week.Well done Kev

Paul O'Hara wins PGA Playoffs in Cyprus
Paul O’Hara has earned starts on the DP World Tour and HotelPlanner Tour for the 2025 season after a dominant third-round performance secured victory by two strokes at the PGA Play-Offs in Cyprus.“It’s tremendous,” O’Hara said of his victory. “I remember seeing the leaderboard when I was at five-under and I knew as long as I don’t do anything silly, I could secure the win. But one bad shot could easily lead to a double or triple-bogey. It’s such a tough course to play.“I played some pin-point golf shots today and had great control of my irons. I even think I could’ve gone three or four better, but to shoot five-under was great. To come out on top against the 24 best guys last year is great for my confidence.”The win grants O’Hara exemptions for the Betfred British Masters, Amgen Irish Open, and BMW PGA Championship on the DP World Tour, as well as the Farmfoods Scottish Challenge and Irish Challenge on the HotelPlanner Tour later this year.Read the full report here: https://bit.ly/3F9Bk5v

Kevin Whitson to retire after 50 years
Whitson calls time on near 50-year career as PGA ProfessionalFollowing a gripping Irish Open at Royal County Down Golf Club, Head Professional Kevan Whitson is calling time on a career that has spanned 6 decades. The Scot, originally from East Lothian, first stepped into the world of coaching in 1975 and has enjoyed a storied career since - becoming one of just over 50 Master Professionals."I will retire at the end of October after the Irish Open, and for me that feels like a very natural marker," Commented Whitson. "I had my forays into playing like most pros and certainly thought I was going to be an awful lot better than I ended up! But I quickly realised I had a passion for coaching and that has been a driving force in my career, helping other people to improve at all levels."Read the full story from a one of the great PGA Professionals https://bit.ly/3XIOH1U
