Quarter Finals

A really wet and competitive evening of Club Championship match play saw the semi-final places decided across all sections.
There was some excellent golf played in tough conditions, with every match hard fought from start to finish.
The semi-finals will be played on Wednesday 10th June, and the stage is now set for another great night of championship golf at the club.
If you are around, please come along and support the players as they compete for a place in the finals.
Well played to everyone involved, and best of luck to all those through to the semi-finals!

The opening matches of the Club Championship have taken place, and there was no shortage of drama. Congratulations to all who progressed.

The Championship continues on Wednesday 3rd June, as the Juniors, Seniors and Ladies begin their journey toward becoming our 2026 Club Champions.

Good luck to those involved

In particular, I’d like to acknowledge The Stanley Morrison Charitable Trust – Tim, Maggie, and the Trustees – whose incredible support has played a vital role in growing the sport here in Southwest Scotland.

A heartfelt thank you to Titleist, whose unwavering commitment to junior golf has been a cornerstone of our work. I’m truly grateful to have such a fantastic partner backing our future stars.
