Tuesday 1.45pm - A LOUTH golfer is heading to Scotland in May to play in the US Kids Golf European Championships.
More than 400 players from some 30 nations will be competing in the event which is Europe's premier junior tournament.

They will battle it out for the title of US Kids Golf European Champion – and the chance to win a coveted place in the US Kids Golf World Championships at Pinehurst Golf Club, North Carolina, in August.

The event – to be held across five of Scotland's historic golf courses in East Lothian in May - sees boys and girls split into different gender and age categories.

Amongst the young players representing the Lincolnshire Golf Union will be Ashton Turner, 13, from Alford and a member at Kenwick Park Golf Club, where he plays off a handicap of four.

He won last year's BBC Lincolnshire Young Sportsman Of The Year award and plays for the U14 and U16 Lincolnshire County teams.
