Irish snub disappoints Walker captain

BRITAIN and Ireland Walker Cup captain Nigel Edwards is far from pleased with a decision by the Golfing Union of Ireland not to nominate four players for the Links Trophy, which begins at St Andrews today.

Portstewart’s Paul Cutler is the only Irish amateur competing in the prestigious event being held over the Old and New courses.

The GUI elected not to take up the option of nominating four players because of this week’s East of Ireland at Baltray.
