EUROPE'S elite footgolf stars will return to Greenock this year after the town was chosen to host the next Scottish Open tournament for the second year in a row.

The international competition will be held at Greenock Golf Club following the success of last year's event which saw nearly 100 players from across Britain taking to the fairways.

The memorable weekend last August saw Scotland take on a Rest of the World select at the Forsyth Street venue before the 36-hole singles open competition was played the next day.
