Andrew Graham and Alix Shepherd are two of six players who qualified to play the famous Ayrshire course in the R&A 9 Hole Challenge Final.
They were one of the leading pairs who will compete at Royal Troon on the eve of the Open Championship.
A total of 126 golfers went to the Dundas Parks Golf Club in South Queensferry over June 6 and 7 to try and secure a place in the final.

Graham and Shepherd were in the lead with 34 points halfway through, but they were overtaken by Susan Graham and Tommy Struthers of Blair Atholl with 36 points.
Alan Farquharson, club captain at Dundas Parks, said: “Our club has benefitted enormously from the increased exposure of being able to hold this event and showcase the 9-hole format.
“We believe that 9-hole golf is a great alternative for golfers with busy lives.
It’s been an honour to work with Scottish Golf on this event for the last three years.”
