Golf: Yankee visit is just dandy

THREE American college teams are heading to East Lothian to play and practise at The Renaissance Club later this year.

The decision by coaches at Alabama, Kentucky and Stanford to set up training camps at the Dirleton venue is a feather in the cap of its owners.

“They are coming over at different times with sponsors,” said main man Jerry Sarvadi. “That’s a welcome change for East Lothian as the US university teams normally go to Fife to play.”
