The Club has been redecorated in the club colours, as you can see from the stunning repainted ceiling. A lot of hard work by a number of people. A more detailed article is in the next newsletter that will be out shortly.

Our 2025 Presentation Night will be held on Saturday 29th March starting at 7pm. We are using the Masonic Hall as the venue and tickets are £10 each. The ticket includes a buffet and musical entertainment, might even have dancing…… A sheet is up in the club if you want to come or see Mark MacWhinnie.

The team only have one game left against Kilspindie, and a win may give them a good final position in the league, all the best boys.

Mark MacWhinnie helped by his family organised a team match against the Ship Inn in aid of the above charity. A huge success and their Facebook page sums up everything, and shows the gratitude of all their efforts.

The club held a Race Night to support the Winter League Team, helping to provide funds for dedicated clothing and to provide meals for our home matches. A hugely successful night, with a packed hall of punters, digging deep into their pockets. Well done to all those who sponsored races, bought horses and betted on each race. The team made more money than expected and that was down to the hard work of the team, especially Kieran Blyth.

It was the Old Course’s turn to host a team from Dalmeny. This event started just a few years ago and we play home and away. Their course in in the grounds of the Dalmeny estate, with the Main house dominating some of the holes. A number of their team were playing the Old Course for the first time and they soaked up the history. The Old course won the match 4 games to 2 and recorded our first win in this event.

Saturday 26th saw the Final of our League Cup competition between Paul Marshall and Matty Craigie. The competition requires a Sunday qualification followed by the top 16 playing off in a stroke play format over a number of weeks. The double celebration comes in that Paul not only won the trophy by 4 shots but he had a hole in one at the Sea Hole. Congratulations Paul

Following our Charity Day, today 7th October we presented our cheque to the Changes representatives. Here is seen our Secretary, Alan Tweedie and Mike McVean with our cheque for £2,000. Again well done to everyone who donated raffle prizes, bought tickets, played golf, our sponsors on the day “Quicklube” and everyone that contributed to the day. 66 golfers played on the day so such a wonderful effort by everyone.
