Comments

Thursday
Practice round for some of us at Cullen. Sunny day with great views. Buffet dinner in evening chez Watt. Many thanks to Tricia

Friday
A historic day. First round of Ryder Cup + Whitby Golfing Society! Malcolm’s home course of Duff House. A desperate ploy to win? Bob and Frank too good on day! Rain pm. Great to see so may juniors on the course. Seals spotted in river Deveron. Modest alcohol consumption in evening Graham off booze – will it last?!

Saturday
Sunny all day. Frank has steady 36 points to secure trophy. (Steuart has since discovered that he had been having secret lessons. These must be disclosed on future outings). Fun Texas Scramble in afternoon. Won by team of Steaurt, Alan, Malcolm and Peter. Winnings still to be paid.

General
Steuart and Peter as founder members shared their concerns about:- (a) The ever improving standard of golf and (b) The reductions in alcohol consumption which goes against the whole ethos of the Society. Both points to be discussed further!!

Comments

Thursday
Practice round at Granton

Friday
Drive to Dornoch. Good weather - again - and stunning course. "Up there with the best" according to Rules Guru, Mr Rutter. Handicap Certificate fiasco.

Saturday
Nairn West in sunshine. Another great course + England v Samoa in afternoon.

Sunday
Boat of Garton on way home. Sensational Texas Scramble victory for Frank and Steuart over Alan and John. (Will not record score to avoid embarrassment).

Memories of the weekend
Only six of us but definitely quality. Was Thursday's discussion over dinner the most sensible (or boring) in our 28 years of history? Mining shares, the environment, etc. etc. Hotel shade of former glory but new manager will rectify? Rooms confusion. Warwickshire chicken from Nairnshire!! Saturday wedding - have we ever come across so many drunken hotel guests?
John and Malcolm shared well. Will Graham and Dave be upset? Agreed we should try for single rooms in future. Hadyn now official custodian of the "Dornoch Teddy".

Notes re prizes
Peter has confirmed that his prize was lost several years ago. The "Dornoch Teddy" is the Finlayson prize. Peter gave the Quaich to either Graham or Malcolm to have engraved.
