Golfing legend Colin Montgomerie gives some lucky youngsters a masterclass in the short game.
The 53-year-old, a runner-up in majors four times at the peak of his career but who had to come through final qualifying just to get to Royal Troon for The 145th Open, took time out to educate some golf enthusiasts.
Veteran Montgomerie, who was European No 1 eight times and a Ryder Cup hero, explains the importance of the short game.
In golfing terminology, '100 yards and in' is engraved in every professional to every club player across the globe.
Montgomerie talks us through the importance of the wedge shot, grip, stance and then swing.
And it seems his words of wisdom did the trick with the lucky group of kids learning the tricks of the trade from the master himself.
