Junior Greensomes provide great golf and great fun!
8th February 2010 - A great turnout of 29 Juniors competed in the Greensomes competition played yesterday, Sunday. Amidst much fun and laughter Jack Reid and Jason Weir (pictured left) won the prizes on the Wee Course in the morning, whilst John Bateman and Ellen Forbes (also pictured left) lifted the spoils on the Big Course in the afternoon. New member Scott Heron impressed on the Wee Course in the morning with a great round of 40 and some very good shot-making in the process. Congratulations to all the Juniors, not only for the quality of the golf but for the great behaviour and great spirit in which the matches were played.

Course improvements continue
8th February 2010- The work to improve the path linking the 5th green to the 6th tee has progressed well (as you can see from the pictures above). The old sleepers have been full removed, the ground smoothed off, new turf and new plastic matting laid and a rope and post fence erected.
Drainage works are taking place on the 18th fairway (see picture to left) to further improve the condition of the fairway - a number of large trenches have been dug to upgrade the pipework and drains. This work will be completed soon and the fairway returned to normal play but with less standing water when it rains.
