Note from Editor Colin Farquharson. As readers of Kirkwoodgolf.co.uk will know, I am fascinated by US college golf. Scott Goddard of Davis & Elkins College, who attended the Scottish boys' match-play championship at Royal Aberdeen in April, will not mind me letting you read his welcoming letter to his golf team for the new season. It gives you an insight into the amount of work and attention to detail that men like Scott have to do behind the scenes.
We'll do our best to give you regular news updates about the Scots on the Davis & Elkins College golf team - and the non-Scots as well! - as part of our comprehensive US college service.
From Scott Goddard
Dean of Students and Golf Coach
Davis & Elkins College,
Elkins, West Virgina.
I’m excited about the upcoming year. I feel that we will have a solid team that can make an immediate impact on the W.V.I.A.C. ( West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference). Please find the roster below with everyone’s “travel notes:"

Alasdair Forsythe-Sophomore from Glasgow, Scotland (Arriving on Sunday, August 16, 2009 with Robert McCleneghen-Flying into PIT and taking the 6:00 p.m. D&E Airport Shuttle)
Robert McCleneghen-Freshman from Glasgow, Scotland (Arriving on Sunday, August 16, 2009 with Alasdair Forsythe-Flying into PIT and taking the 6:00 p.m. D&E Airport Shuttle)
Samuel Oliver-Freshman from Bedlington, UK (Arriving on Sunday, August 16, 2009 with his mother Dawn who will be departing on Monday, August 24, 2009. Dawn will be staying at the Graceland Inn & Conference Center . Flying into PIT and renting a car.)

Ricardo Soler-Senior from Chi-Cundinamarca , Colombia (On Campus)
David Shields-Freshman from Glasgow, Scotland (Arriving on Wednesday, August 12, 2009 with his mother Margaret who will be departing on Wednesday, August 19, 2009. Margaret will be staying at the Graceland Inn & Conference Center . Flying into PIT and renting a car.)

For those of you driving to the Campus for the first time please refer to this link: http://www.davisandelkins.edu/admission/gethere.cfm
I would like to share a few “packing tips”. All of you will be receiving a Davis & Elkins College team golf bag upon your arrival and clearance from the N.C.A.A. Clearinghouse. So, a simple bag to carry your clubs will be sufficient. The College provides team polos for competitions and assorted items for colder/wetter weather. That being said, I would recommend brining your own rain gear. Please bring assorted shorts and trousers in khaki and black to wear in competition. They do not need to be top of the line articles of clothing, just need to make sure there is some consistency when we step on the course. Obviously please do not forget your golf shoes.
Finally, with the large influx of Scottish student athletes I would like to work in concert with our Director of Communications and Marketing (Carol Schuler) on a press release to local media outlets.
Davis & Elkins College is proud of it’s heritage and happy to have so many young men from Scotland . So, I ask that one of you bring across the Scottish flag to use in the picture/story.
