From a playing perspective Scott has won two provincial championships, won a number of regional events, and recorded many top ten finishes.

Quick Golf Tip: Try and practice a couple of times a week.  It will do wonders for your game.  If you can't hit balls, then just swing the club in the back yard.  As Ben Hogan said, " the more I practice the luckier I get!".

Favourite Golf Moment: It was a beautiful sunny day at Uplands Golf Course and I was playing with a bunch of my friends. We were playing from the back tee on hole 7, and I landed my drive right down the middle. My second shot with a Hybrid I miss hit slightly and ended having 60yrds left to the pin. I pulled out my trusty 60 degree wedge. I had a perfect lie and there was no wind. I hit the ball cleanly, the ball headed straight to the flag, and went in the cup, no bounce,  for eagle!
