Judicious Association of Golf Writers (AGW) correspondent Dick Turner has gone straight to the top of the 2015 ETIQUS Golfer of the Year title chase with his victory in Monday’s R & A Salver at St. Andrews.
Dick, who has been a member of the AGW since 2009, posted 37 Stableford points over this year’s Open Championship venue and in the now annual R & A Media Facilitation Day.
If fact, it was the Daily Record’s Craig Swan who took out the leading honours with 40 points and with Dick heading those AGW members competing on the Old Course.
The R & A Salver was first contested in 2013 and with Dick now joining Phil Casey (2013) and Dan Murphy (2014) as winners.
Dick’s victory at the Home of Golf is his second AGW triumph after having captured the 2011 Michael Williams Hogget.
The team of the R & A’s Johnnie Cole-Hamilton and AGW members Andy Farrell and Nick Rodger took out the team prize. 
A very special thank you to everyone at the R & A in hosting the media and particularly to Lynn, Clare and Mary for their superb organisation.
ETIQUS is kindly offering either a male or female wrist watch to the value of £300 to the eventual 2015 ETIQUS AGW of the Year.
Full results shortly.
* Please note the next AGW golf meeting – the Michael Williams Hogget – will take place on Saturday July 30th May at the Kilkeel Club. Numbers are filling fast so to avoid disappointment email AGW Golf Captain, Peter Dixon.
