The Host
Ian Rae
Ian has been based at Mearns Castle Golfing Academy since 2022.
PGA Master Professional and Ian has been a Golf Professional for over 40 years.
He is also a UKCC Level III Coach who has taught some successful individuals and teams to some impressive victories.

The Presenters
Scott Borrowman
PGA Golf Professional at Stirling Golf Club.
Adding Speed & Power to a golf swing is his passion.
He has played tournament golf in the past, but sadly developed the Yips in his putting.
This ultimately led him to an early retirement from tournament golf, and now he concentrates on Teaching & Coaching.
Murray Patterson
PGA Head Teaching Professional at Cruden Bay
He has developed a keen interest in the use of 3D Force Plates, which are excellent tools to use.
3D Force Plates measure your Ground Reaction Forces (GRFs) and how your weight is distributed throughout your swing.
David Patrick
PGA Fellow Professional at Bruntsfield Links Golfing Society.
He is a Walker Cup winner in 1999, and has been a PGA Golf Professional since 2001.
Nicknamed the Short Game Doctor, as that is where David specialises.
There is nothing that David doesn’t know about the short game in golf.
