Unfortunately, the championship week started with very poor weather that resulted in considerable delays to play and resulted in the Championship Qualifier being reduced to a single round. Although this was not a desirable position, thanks must go to Mark Patchett and John McMillan for their considerable efforts on the course and the decisions they had to make. We were fortunate to have good weather for the rest of the week and those who walked the course were privileged to see some very good golf.

I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all our new members, it is encouraging to see our numbers continuing to grow and I trust that all the ‘oldies’ will extend the same welcome and a helping hand to orientate the ‘newbies’ to Broomieknowe.

Since my last report, the weather has been much kinder and, due to the hard graft from the Greens Team and Volunteers, the course has been presented in great condition.   In particular, the greens are as fast and true as I have ever seen them and apparently are running consistently at 10 on the stimp-meter.   Even my putting improves on greens like this!
