SCOTT MCCONNELL

February 13, 2021 by davidbrookens

SCOTT MCCONNELL

 
The club is sorry to announce the passing of past captain Scott McConnell, who captained the club between 1992 and 1994 and again for a year early in the new century.

The response, on the club’s Facebook page, to the recent announcement of Scott’s passing speaks volumes of the regard in which he was held. It will perhaps be a comfort to know that he slipped away peacefully, at home, on the 9th of February. The following details are extracted from the notice published in The Herald.

Funeral service at 2.30pm on 3rd March for family only but is available on webcast, contact family for link or those wishing to pay respects can do so as the cortege passes on the A71 between Scott’s home at Priestgill (1.35pm) and childhood home in Hurlford (2.15pm) en route to Holmsford Bridge Crematorium, Dreghorn.

Sunday 14th February – Winter Cup Rd 5

This Sunday we’ll play the 5th round of the Winter Cup. There will be no cash sweep for the round and cards should be left under the clubhouse door. In the event of the weather washing us out the round will be played next Sunday, 21st February.

As with all golf in the current situation please observe social distancing etc rules. Hopefully we’ll be able to get back to something more like normal before too long.

210105 January 2021 – Lockdown Measures & Midweek Sweeps

January 2021 – Lockdown Measures & Midweek Sweeps

Golfers will no doubt be aware that with effect from Tuesday 5th January, the country has been placed into further ‘lockdown’ measures. Fortunately the measures announced mean that golf can continue, PROVIDED all social distancing protocols etc. are strictly adhered to. This will mean that three and four ball games may be played only when all participants are from the same household. For the vast majority of us that means only two ball games are allowed and of course the pre existing prohibition on using the clubhouse continues.

It has therefore been decided to suspend the Wednesday and Friday sweeps (the Tam Young Tankard and the Srixon ball sweep) until such time as conditions are eased, hopefully in the not too distant future.

Golf can still be played and bookings should be made via the online system whenever possible, but remember, only two ball games unless all players are from the same household.

Sunday 3rd January – Flog!

December 31, 2020 by davidbrookens

Sunday 3rd January – How to Play Flog!

On Sunday 3rd January, we’re playing the course backwards. We’ll start at the first (yellow) tee and play to the 17th green. Then from the 18th (white) tee to the 16th green. Thereafter, playing from the yellow tees, we play from the 17th tee to the 15th green, from the 16th tee to the 14th green, the 15th tee to the 13th green and so on until we arrive back at the 18th green from the 2nd tee. 

Scoring is handicap strokeplay and it’s a fun mornings flog. No draw for partners so just make up your own games, preferably using the online system (for track and trace purposes)

Unfortunately we can’t meet up in the clubhouse afterwards so we’ll work out winners etc after the event.

DUE TO THE NATURE OF FLOG, AND FOR SAFETY REASONS, THE COURSE IS CLOSED FOR ORTHODOX PLAY UNTIL 2 pm.
