Last weekend we held our annual Member & Guest event. With the field lower than expected due to varying factors, the players were met by a fantastic day to play golf. The sun was shining and with the course in good condition, it was all to play for. Club Captain Alan Knox and partner Mark de Looze were on top form and after a solid opening nine holes they continued to hole the putts and managed to record a brilliant nett 64 for victory (pictured below).
On Sunday, 9 August we held our 2015 Mixed Open. This greensomes event is now firmly ensconced in the mixed circuit and attracted a big field, and along with Carolyn Craig's organisation it was sure not to fail. Although the weather gods were not behaving and it was sunny in Skelmorlie and Port Glasgow, we ploughed on with dark clouds hanging about all day. Winners of this year's event were husband and wife team Tom and Maureen Kemp with a fantastic 70.6 (pictured above). The scratch prize was won by visiting couple Gordon and Susan Tyre with 78.
Well my summer clothing SALE never lasted long with the rail decimated by close of business on Saturday. Thanks to all who came in and had a look, there are a small amount of items remaining with the rail will stay out for another couple of days, come now before it is too late.
In the next few weeks I will begin taking delivery of my autumn/winter stock, with collections from Sunderland, Glenmuir, Murray Golf and ProQuip all due in. I look forward to displaying and showing you all the new stock.
Following on from Jason Day's deserved victory in the USPGA last weekend, I head back out on tour next week. Dundonald Links awaits for me and I am looking forward to the 36-hole event. Playing on Monday morning I am hoping the practice will get me round this tough links course.
As I write this there are only 10 days until my annual Professional's Day. Please check your tee-times prior to the day and if possible confirm your team names. As always fancy dress is welcomed and I hope you are looking forward to Greenkeepers & Pro revenge pin positions.
