Kirkcudbright Golf Club Newsletter - July 2016 (Issue 07) KIRKCUDBRIGHT GOLF CLUB www.kirkcudbrightgolf.co.uk Follow us on Twitter: @kbtgolfclub Facebook: Kirkcudbright Golf Club Email: [email protected] Phone: 01557 330314 Captain’s Desk At this time of year many of you will be torn between cutting your own grass or watching our green staff whizzing around the golf course. With growth at its peak there is little time for anything other than cutting, yet summer aeration of the greens and foliar feeding, all part of the summer programme, move on a pace. I am particularly pleased by members and visitor plaudits regarding course condition. All congratulations to competition winners, whether team or individual, details further on in the newsletter. Remember this is your newsletter so contribute. I also try to do a weekly update, at the beginning of the week, and if you wish to contribute with information please let me know. Just a gentle reminder that we have only 5 buggies and you can book online with your tee time. You need a number (see the office) and you create your own password. (Simples). A big thanks to all who returned the Member Satisfaction Survey. It is difficult to create a forward looking plan that meets members needs, without your input. I will publish the outcome on the main notice board and action areas with the appropriate people over the next few weeks. We are now looking forward and on the course, our convenor Adam Gray (busy man), will be working with head greenkeeper John on a winter programme. If you have expertise we would like to talk with you. Surveyor, topographer, drainage, agronomist, etc. We may not be able to use your skills, but having a skills register is always helpful and remember it is your club. Swing Slow, Maurice. (Club Captain) 1 LADIES NEWS 19 Ladies are off to Slaley Hall Golf Resort in Northumberland on Wednesday for two nights and three rounds of golf. Slaley Hall has two 18-hole golf courses and we intend playing them both. The Hotel offers a swimming pool and Spa and other facilities should we need them! The plan is to have an individual competition and two team competitions. Results will be published in the next Newsletter. There is a Galloway Championship and 18-hole Competition on Sunday 10th July. This is expected to have about 10 ladies who will do the Championship 36 Holes and about 25 - 30 doing the 18 Hole Rennie Salver. There is still time to enter. We would like as many of our members as possible to have a go at the Rennie Salver. Lots of the ladies are getting involved in competitions around the Region and our own club competitions are being well supported. Mary Robertson EGGS NEWS EGGS Match v Glenluce The Eggs played a home match against Glenluce on Thursday 2nd June with the Eggs running out winners by 4½ to 2½ despite Glenluce fielding a strong team. The weather was very kind to us and to date the Eggs as still unbeaten having played three matches. Zip Wire Challenge Well the long wait is over as the lads have managed to conquer the Zip Wire. A big thanks to Brian Turnbull and Ian McConchie and to all who sponsored them. It was great to see some of the Eggs and their wives at Laggan Outdoor Centre to support the boys. A big thanks to Duncan and his staff at Laggan for making the day a great success. Brian was well up for the challenge but Ian was a bit apprehensive and needed a bit of help from Stacey in getting Ian to complete the challenge as she had to give him a helping hand (or was it a push). The total raised was £965 which was a valuable contribution to the financing of the gents’ toilet refurbishment. (see Zip Wire photographs below) Bill Telfer Memorial Trophy The Eggs played for the Bill Telfer Memorial Trophy on Friday 10th June, with the competition being stroke play as this was Bill’s preferred format. 34 players took part in the competition and it was great to have Bill’s son John over from Ireland to compete and his daughter Karen to present the prizes. The conditions were good and this was reflected in the scores. Winner Stewart McKean= net 63 Runner-Up Neil McIntosh =net 65 Third Place David Brown =net 66 (Continued ….) 2 Ted Houghie Open The annual Ted Houghie 4BBB Open competition was held on Thurs 16th June in excellent conditions with a good turnout of 39 pairs. The winners on 43 points were Wm. Brown and Rbt. McGuickin from the Doon Valley Club. Jimmy Cloy and John Sawyer from Newton Stewart were a close second on 42 points with our own Bryan Crawford and Gibby McCoskry third on the same total. Trevor Williams from Southerness impressively holed his tee shot at the 13th. EGGS Match v Moffat Baffies On Monday 20th June 6 pairs travelled to Moffat Golf Club to challenge the Baffies in our return match. Good golf and home advantage prevailed and we were defeated by 4 and1/2 matches to 1 and 1/2 matches. June Medal On the last Friday of the month a good turn-out of members contested the June medal in favourable conditions. It was good to see an old hand in the shape of Bob Currie triumph with an impressive 39 points.

This is the junior/adult day which has greensome competitions held over 5 holes, 9 holes and 18 holes. If you would like to play, please get in touch and we will find you a partner if you don't already have one. Kirkcudbright golf course hosted the recent junior match between the South and Cumbria. Four of our own were part of the team. Angus Bendall, Nathan Watson and William Squires were joined by Callum McMillan making his full team debut. The other members of the team were Mitchell Cowie (D&C), Callan Harkness (Loch), Dylan Cairnie (D&C) and Ross Whyte (D&G). Unfortunately, we lost the morning foursomes 4-0 which meant we had to win 6 out of the 8 singles games to tie the match. It looked possible for most of the afternoon but they couldn't quite pull it off. We won the singles 4½ to 3½ but lost the match 4½ to 7½. Well done to Angus and William who both won their matches on the 18th green and Nathan with a convincing 5&4 victory. I would like to thank and congratulate John, Jamie and Bob for the superb way they presented our course. There was nothing but praise from the Cumbrian players, officials and spectators who all enjoyed the course. The standard of golf was incredible with lots of birdies and eagles the order of the day. (Continued … ) 4 Pictured above are the four juniors that represented the South at the Boys Area Team Championship at Grangemouth at the beginning of June. Angus Bendall (CD) Callan Harkness (Loch), Nathan Watson and William Squires from Kirkcudbright. They finished in a creditable 6th place. Angus has since joined our junior section and we are delighted to welcome him. Nathan and William then went on to Perth to represent Dumfries and Galloway at the Scottish Schools competition at Murrayshall. No prizes this time but they enjoyed the experience. HANDICAP & COMPETITION NEWS The season is well under way now with competitions coming thick and fast. Our premier Gents Singles competition the Silver Tassie was played on 4th June and the eventual winner was Ian McBeth of Castle Douglas who successfully defended his title from 2015 with a great score of 68-5=63. We had a field of 127 competitors on the day and I’m sure they will all have been impressed with the tremendous condition that the course was in, not only on the day, but largely for the whole season to date. Away from Kirkcudbright, Jamie Menzies captured the Cally Cup at Gatehouse-of-Fleet with a great score of 68-6=62. Well done Jamie! The second prize-giving of the season will take place after the Dalziel Trophy in September. Winners are reminded that trophies should be engraved and returned to the club office in advance of this. Don’t forget that all competition results, including live scores can be found in the results section of our website at www.kirkcudbrightgolf.co.uk or directly through www.masterscoreboard.co.uk 5 STAR INTERVIEW In the hot seat this month is former Club Captain and six-time Club Champion Stephen Eccles.

  • The Golfer's Annual for 1869-70
    ONE ILLIKG AND SIXPEN : No. G-/PO2.. * « GOLFER'S ANNUAL FOR 18.69-70. COMPILED AMD EDITED BY CHARLES MACARTHFR. AYE: TROTTED AND PUBLTSIIED BY HENRY & GRANT. 16 PKEFACE. GOLF, the National Game of Scotland, and one of the most enticing of out-door exercises, is now so extensively indulged in as to deserve, at least, some statistical publication. A few years ago a work similar1 to this was published, but was not continued. Since then the practice of the Game has rapidly extended; and many solicitations having recently boon made to the Editor to bring out a GOLFER'S ANNUAL, his love for the Game, and his desire to gratify Golfers and others, induced him to undertake the work. The ANNUAL contains much interesting matter, such as a record of all the Golf Clubs at present known, with their respective. Competitions and Tournaments during the last three years, the llules of the Game observed by different Clubs, as well as other incidents; and the details of tho Competitions for the Champion Belt since its institution by the Prestwick Golf Club have been deemed of sufficient importance to entitle them to consider- able space. While imperfections may be apparent, it. is hoped that, though not claimed on its merits, the object of the ANNUAL will secure it a passport for this year, and that sufficient encouragement will be j^'ven for the appearance of its suc- cessor. The thanks of the. Editor avo due, and are now warmly tendered, to the Secretaries of the different Clubs, and others, who so readily furnished information in aid of his efforts.' 1JRUNTON C'OTTAGK, LONDON ROAD, EDINBURGH, Fubfuaiu, 1S70.

    L G C ANARK OLF LUB 1851 2001 FIFTY YEARS ON 1951 to 2001 To mark the Club’s 150th Anniversary of its Constitution on 4th October 1851 T. Henry Shanks Captain of Lanark Golf Club 2001 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The source book for all researches into our Club history has to be the excellent Centenary Booklet prepared by Mr A. D. Robertson in 1951. The quality of his authorship and academic knowledge has to be acknowledged along with the fact that some of the material in this booklet has been borrowed from that source. The detailed and painstaking researches of the present Vice President Jimmy Steele into the Minute Books and his valuable and interesting synopsis have been another rich source. Written contributions have also been made by my editorial team of Past Captains George Thomson, John Watt and Brian Orr. Reminiscences by President Eddie Foulis and the late John Glaister and from many other Club members and officials have hopefully added considerably to the interest of the material used. The support of the 150th Anniversary Committee under the Chairmanship of Past Captain John Pearson and our present Club Secretary George Cuthill has also been invaluable. Many other Past Captains and other members including Miss Marion Bryce daughter of the late John Bryce, along with others who have also contributed material and photographs. They are so numerous that space does not allow them all to be named individually. Their valuable contributions are nevertheless very warmly acknowledged. I would also be failing in my obligations if I did not acknowledge the very valuable assistance of my proof readers and the computer expertise of Past Captain Bill Toy.
