As we approach the start of August I am about to start my Summer Clearance Sale! It will commence on Monday 4th August and will include many amazing bargains including brand such as Callaway, Lyle&Scott and PING. Please drop in to the shop to have a coffee and grab a bargain while stocks last!

Championship time has arrived! Commencing this Monday we had the Junior event which was won by Daragh Cuddihy with fabulous scores of scratch 71-75. Ally Taylor followed Daragh onto the winners' podium with nett scores of 65&70.

Last weekend also saw the Senior Championship take place over two days, with these guys getting a bit older and needing time to rest there weary legs overnight. 2013 winner Colin Erskine managed to defend his crown by the narrowest of margins- just 1 shot split him from Allan McEwing. Well done to all competitors who endured some tough testing conditions over the weekend. Congratulations to Ian Minton winner of the Baird Trophy this year, another major to add to his CV.

On Saturday the Men will do battle for the crown of 2014 champion. As usual all 50 players will set out with dreams of emulating last year's double winner Colin Erskine. Good luck to all.

Congratulations to Lady Captain Margie Carmichael who has reached this year's 2014 final. She will now play champion Maureen in final on the afternoon of 2nd August. 

We are now going into week our last week of our very successful Junior Academy Evenings. These events have been amazingly well attended, with numbers averaging 36. I would like to thank all of the parents and children who have attended, it has been commented on by many members how great it is to see young boys & girls around the club.

I thought I would take this opportunity to remind everyone about the member benefits you have as a member of GGC. We have some amazing reciprocal deals with Crieff & Bothwell Castle GC. If anyone is interested in taking a 4 ball a these course please let me know and I will call to arrange.

Also it is worth reminding everyone about the Firth of Clyde reciprocal arrangement. I was chatting to a member the other day who didn't know anything about it, for the pricely sum of £7.50 you can play at Millport, Port Bannatyne, Routenburn, Blairmore & Strone and Cowal!

If anyone would like more details on these arrangements please contact me here.
