One of Scotland's newest head professionals hopes to swap walking on water for walking on air by booking a place in the grand final of Europe's biggest pro-am.
Allan Knox, recently installed at Perth's King James VI golf club, located on an island in the middle of the River Tay, returns to his old stamping ground of Crieff on Monday chasing victory in the PGA National Pro-Am Championship.
Knox will attempt the task with six-handicap amateur Donald Henderson, a bank officer.
It will be Knox's first serious playing assignment since taking up his new post just two months ago - but one he is relishing as he attempts to land an all expenses paid trip to Turkey's Sirene Beach & Hotel Resort and Antalya Golf Club.
"I'm really looking forward to it, especially as I had a lot good times at Crieff, know a lot of the members and enjoy playing the course," said the 27-year-old, who has got used to walking across the Tay on a regular basis - as no transport can get to the island.
"But since taking on my new job I've only managed to play twice, including a practice round at Crieff with my partner.
"Fortunately I know the course but I thought it was important we went and played together so I knew how Donald plays, which is pretty good."
Knox made his debut in the tournament last year when he stood in for his Crieff boss David Murchie, who has handed over playing duties this year to Billy Marchbank.
"I'd liked to have had a wager with David but I think he's running scared!" joked Knox.
"But I won't be worrying about that too much, I'll just be looking to do well on the day. It wasn't too bad last year, though representing the host club can make it a bit more daunting when you're standing on the first tee - especially when a lot of the members are watching.
"It won't be as bad this year but if you're going to do anything in this event it's a case of how you and partner click on the day - it's not about how well the professional plays."
A strong field of more than 70 teams are descending on Crieff including both of Scotland's representatives in last year's grand final - Kenny Hutton of Downfield and Ken Kelly of Baberton, both of whom have been drawn to play together.
Hutton will be partnered by 47-year-old fireman Bob Butter, a 12 handicapper, while Kelly will tee up with 23-year-old electrician David Smith, who plays off 10.
Other past finalists looking to reach the grand final include Cardross' Robert Farrell, Dunbar's Jacky Montgomery and Edzell's Alastair Webster.
Among the club's also looking for success are West Lothian, Royal Dornoch, North Berwick, Pitlochry, Inverness, Loch Ness and Dunblane.
The tournament, which attracts more than 100,000 entries, is now in its 24th staging and has been held in Portugal, Spain, Grand Bahamas and Sardinia prior to Turkey last year.
This year's grand final, played over the PGA Sultan course at Antalya Golf Club, has a professional prize fund of £30,000 and is being played from November 30 to December 4.
