Dear Member
Senior Open 2025 results CORRECTION
On a blustery day this week, 92 golfers took on the challenge of our fast but true greens while coping with the elements. I hope all enjoyed the day.
In the absence of any qualified greenkeeper we are grateful for the efforts and commitment of our 2 young assistant greenkeepers, Murray Wilson and Jamie Crooks, and our Greens Committee to produce the course which was considered in first class condition, by members and visitors. Thanks to all volunteers on the day, Roy Thomson, Bill Russell, Jack Temple, Duncan McCosh, Andy Sinton, Rob Semple, Jimmy Graham, Rae Hastings and Angus Fernie. Thanks also to Fern Graham and Kevin Green for keeping us fed and watered during the day.
