At exactly 8am Colin teed off in front of a large crowd and hit a ceremonial tee shot accompanied by cannon fire.

His position as Captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, the founding club from which The R&A devolved its governance role, is an ambassadorial one and Colin will travel the globe representing the Club and the game of golf.
