Captain Dalgleish

Several days ago I posted about my friend Gordon Dalgleish's becoming a U.S. citizen (see "Citizen Dalgleish" here).

Golfweek's January 14 issue brings word that Gordon's bro, Colin, has been honored himself. "The Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews announced former Walker Cup player and Scottish Amateur champion Colin Dalgleish as captain of Great Britain and Ireland. Dalgleish, 45, will lead GB&I at this year's St. Andrews Trophy and the 2007 Walker Cup."

Brilliant.

Here's the announcement from the R&A.

And here's a photo I found from Colin's victory (as a mop-headed young adult) at the Scottish Am.
