Hi
Committees (and Eric and Anne)
Another
great year for your Club Fundraiser. Fantastic effort on Raffle Sales! Superb
job Hilary, Gwen, Connie, Tracy, Cathy and Jane.
Great
consistency with Registration being completed by the same 2 Ladies all day -
Anne and Diane. Well done all the Ladies.
Eric –
usual great job on Starting. Fred on Ranger and Car park, and Gavin and Graham
are still hard at it on the scoring – difficult job! Only another 4 hours to
go!
Ann and Ian with doing the scoring.
I hope
I haven’t left anyone out!
Please
put this on your Blog Sites and tell all of your Section members.

Funeral arrangements below to anyone who wishes to pay their respects.
Congratulations to the I&D Insurance Services winners Alison and Stewart McLaren who won on count back from Patsy and Mike Duffy with a fantastic score of 63.8.

pin for the Gents
WELL DONE TO JIM KENNEDY WITH A HOLE IN ONE ON THE 6th YESTERDAY IN HIS TIE AGAINST CAPTAIN GAVIN.
Hi all
Hopefully
you are already aware that the 2025 PGA UK National Fourball Finals are to be
held at Strathmore – the first time in 26 years that the finals have been
hosted in Scotland. This is a huge honour and accolade for everyone at
Strathmore.
72 pairs of some of the United Kingdom’s best Professional Golfers will be
fighting to be crowned the Fourball Champions. The Prize Pot stands at £35,000!
There will definitely be some great golf being played over the 3-Day event.
PGA UK
have asked if we could assist them in running the tournament by requesting help
from our members during the days of Tuesday 19th, Wednesday 20th and Thursday
21st August. The various tasks have been listed as Starting, Live Scoring, Main
Scoreboard, On-Course Scoreboard, Ball-Spotting and Leaderboard Carrying (final
day only).
It is
possible the we may need the assistance of up to 15 volunteers a day, so any
help on any day would be greatly appreciated. Without such help, the tournament
will not run smoothly and efficiently.
Needless to say, volunteers will be well fed and watered, and will also receive
from us a Restaurant & Bar Voucher as a token of our gratitude. I don’t
know if PGA UK will be issuing any ‘goodies’ to the volunteers.
Before
I start piecing together a precise timetable and allocating tasks, I first need
to know the names of those who are able and willing to assist, and their
availability. To that end, if you are able to assist, could I please ask that
you let me know which days, mornings and afternoons, that you are available.

If you
have any queries or would like to discuss any aspect of the tournament please,
don’t hesitate to contact me.
I look
forward to hopefully hearing from you soon.
Kind
Regards
David
