Sad news to wake up to that Renton Laidlaw has died at the age of 82. Amazing character, voice and warmth. There will be lots of lovely tributes in the coming days but Faldo summed him up nicely with this..
'Renton documented my whole career from the 75 English Amateur on! He was the most trusted and fair, in the heat of finishing a bad round if i said something daft he'd say maybe you'd like to say that a different way! A very rare quality! RIP'
At any dinner that he was part of he would always say grace which was the highlight of any day
Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be Thankit!
