Greetings golfers,
We had a welcome visitor to our course on Saturday, the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open Trophy, loaned to us for the day by the European Tour in preparation for the tournament in a few weeks. Many members were able to get a photo with this beautiful trophy including future junior champion Justin Hayes.
The good news is that, now we have a partnership with the tour, we will be able to get some more time with this trophy in the future.
The club are back again at the Scottish Open this year with over 20 marshals under the leadership of Chief Steward Ian Samuel. We are in charge of holes 17 & 18 throughout the whole week, thus guaranteeing some TV exposure and a busy week is expected. Remember under 16's go FREE all week, so why not pop down and see McIlroy, Stenson, Scott & Fowler do battle.
Tartan Tour
Last week I returned to action playing in the Parkdean Resorts Pro Am at Ayr Belleisle, this brilliant James Braid course was is in great condition and is a must play if you are down the coast. My team from Low Mac Alloys were in great form and we managed to shoot 20 under to win the team competition by a clear 5 shots, my individual 1 under was tied 11th at the end of the day. Next competition is the Lombard Trophy at Crieff which is on the 10th July and my partner Logan Young is practising hard.
Indoor Academy
Work has commenced on our new state of the art indoor centre with workmen now on-site, the east end of the car park is now a building site and your patience is appreciated. Please take care while on the putting green and do not enter the site even if your prized Pro V1 ends up in there.
Next Week...My newsletter will take a week's holiday along with me and my family who are taking a week off to spend some proper family time together. Honorary member
John Leith & Ross will hold the fort in my absence. See you in a fortnight!
