New President For Scottish Golf Union in 2005 - 21st Dec 2004
Former Scottish Boy's and Youths' Internationalist Graham Ewart has been named as the new President of the Scottish Golf Union.
Mr. Ewart, from Edinburgh will take over the position on 23 January 2005, and will serve as President for the next year. In his position as President, he will also become an ex-officio member of the Scottish Golf Union Limited Board.
An honourary member of Kingsknowe Golf Club where he has been a member for the last 59 years, he represented Scotland at Boys and Youths level, and was named Scottish Club Golfer of the Year in 1970.
A faithful servant to the game of golf over many years, Mr. Ewart has been an active member of the Scottish Golf Union since taking up the post as Lothians representative on the SGU Executive in 1983, and was appointed Vice President in 2003.
With the SGU committed to growing the game, developing talent and supporting member clubs, Mr. Ewart is looking forward to his term as President.
"I feel very humble at the prospect of taking over as President of the SGU," admitted Mr. Ewart.
"It is a great honour to represent everyone associated with men's amateur golf, and act as an ambassador for the game in Scotland.
"We have enjoyed a successful last 12 months, and I am confident we can maintain the progress that has already been achieved.
"I look forward to being part of the success of the coming year."
As well as serving the SGU on a volunteer basis, Mr. Ewart was also employed as Championship Secretary, Club Services Manager and Treasurer at the Union for 15 years until his retirement in 2000.
He takes over from outgoing President Hugh Hunter, and will be supported by Gordon McInnes, who has been named as the new Vice President.
SGU Executive representative for Glasgow, Mr. McInnes is a member of Glasgow Golf Club, Cathcart Castle and Old Ranfurly.
The former 3 handicapper, he competed in the Scottish Boys, British Boys and Scottish Amateur Championships. More recently, Mr. McInnes has supported Scottish golf through his company's five-year sponsorship of the Scottish Boys & Girls Under 14 Stroke Play Championship.
