Due to heavy rain the lowest parts of the course have been flooded and are unplayable (Greens 2 and 4). Some winter greens are also in use as the weather deteriorates during the Autumn. The altered layout is as follows:
Why not de-clutter your home and make some cash by booking a car space for selling at our Car Boot sale? Or come along, grab a bargain and relax with a cuppa in the Clubhouse afterwards. Details below.
The June monthly medal had an added benefit this year with inclusion in Strathendrick's events that are part of the Loch Lomond Whisky promotions.
There was a fantastic entry of 32 competitors with the worthy winner and runner up, Alan Palmer and Alan Needham respectively, both scoring 61. They will both be entered into the Loch Lomond Whisky Draw, as well as picking up their prize of a bottle of Malt on the day! Member Stuart MacInnes took some fantastic drone footage on the day and compiled a short video that really shows the magnificant condition of the course. Thanks to greenkeeper Gavin Rutherford and greenkeeping volunteers for all their hard work!
