Golf star Torrance swings in to lend support to Homecoming's sporting bid
SAM TORRANCE was due to join First Minister Alex Salmond at Dalmahoy today to urge golfers from around the world to visit Scotland in the Year of Homecoming.
The golf star was expected to endorse Mr Salmond's invitation to fans of the sport to visit the home of golf and back his call for more golf clubs across the country to get involved in the Drive It Home campaign.
Golf is a key theme of Homecoming and Drive It Home aims to attract international golfers to Scotland with the offer of a free four-ball at one of 100 courses.
Organisers say phase one of the campaign has been a sell-out success, with thousands of golfers from around the world registering for the giveaway.
Mr Salmond announced there would be a second phase later in the year.
