When you look at the American team I don't think we've got anything to be scared of.
"Bernard Gallacher, OBE" is a Scotland/Scottish professional golfer.
Gallacher was born in Bathgate, Scotland. He took up golf at the age of eleven. In 1965 he won the Lothians Golf Association Boys Championship. He won the 1967 Scottish Amateur Open Stroke Play Championship and turned professional the same year. He won the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year award in 1968. His first professional wins came in 1969; a pair of them in Zambia and another pair in Europe in the equivalent of European Tour events (the European Tour wasn't established until 1972). He accumulated ten wins on the European Tour between 1974 and 1984 and finished in the top ten on the European Tour Order of Merit five times between 1972 and 1982, with a best placing of third in 1974.
In 1969, at the age of 20, Gallacher became the youngest man to represent Great Britain in the Ryder Cup up to that time. This record was subsequently beaten by Nick Faldo and others. He went on to play in the Ryder Cup eight times and was non-playing captain of the European Team in 1991, 1993 and 1995. All three of those matches were very close; Europe lost the first two but won the third.
More Bernard Gallacher on Wikipedia.I went three months without picking up a club. It's the worst time of your life and I don't want that again.
The great thing about the participants is that they had to genuinely qualify. We held two qualifying events at world class venues and company directors and senior corporate officers had to prove they had what it takes.
