Successfully defended his Scottish The PGA National Championship last week at Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club shooting 19 under par for 72 holes. And he’s just followed that up yesterday with a 7 shot win in the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre Tartan Pro Tour at Macdonald Spey Valley Championship Golf Course after shooting 16 under for 3 rounds!! His last round being an astonishing 9 under 62, equalling a certain Brooks Koepka’s course record!!

Here’s the thing though….. Stephen Gray and I played with him in a PGA winter stableford about 5 or 6 years ago. I remember saying to Grayso in the morning, “who’s this Joe Mutant we’re playing with today, never heard of him”. Grayso replied, “aye he’s meant to be awright”!!

I remember after only a few holes I was like “OMG Grayso, how good is this”? There was no chance of Graeme hearing me, as Grayso and I were about 70 yards behind him every hole!!! What a player!!! I love a good success story ( especially a Scottish one ), and this is ticking a lot of boxes right now.

I’ve been lucky enough to have played with G about half a dozen times since and even did a wee Q&A with him last November at the PGA members lunch. Best part is, he’s such a down to earth, humble, top guy!!! Couldn’t be more pleased for him. Is a credit to himself, his family and the PGA. We’re lucky to have him.

Take a bow Joe Mutant, and keep this amazing golf going pal!!!
