Ladies Section<br />
We have a very active and committed Ladies Section with a full fixture list covering<br />
both the Championship and Struie courses. Our numbers have increased steadily over<br />
the last few years, due in part to the support and encouragement given to ladies to<br />
take up golf and proceed to gain a handicap. Throughout the year the many fun<br />
competitions encourage those without handicaps to participate and winnings often end<br />
up in the Captain's charity box. Our nine hole competitions have also proved to be very<br />
successful with the ladies. The ladies run weekly ‘roll ups’ on Mondays on the Struie<br />
and on Wednesdays on both courses which are excellent ways for new members to<br />
meet others. Please contact the office for more details.<br />
Senior Section<br />
A very active group of men meet on a Tuesday every month throughout the year for<br />
Stableford competitions on the Championship Course. Additional individual and team<br />
competitions take place on the Struie Course during the summer months. All scores<br />
are recorded to determine winners and any handicap adjustments. Senior’s fixtures<br />
are organised during the spring/summer against Highland and Speyside clubs and as<br />
far as Royal Aberdeen. It is great fun meeting new people, having the opportunity to<br />
play other challenging courses, followed by a pleasant lunch or dinner and often with<br />
the satisfaction of winning the match. If you are interested and would like more<br />
information just contact the Club on 01862 810219 or email at<br />

The Wednesday Seniors<br />
The Wednesday Seniors, better known as the Geriatrics (Gerries), are a cosmopolitan<br />
group of men with a love of life and golf in particular. Whilst there are trophies to be<br />
played for two of the highlights of the year are the matches against the Ladies and the<br />
annual luncheon. They meet every Wednesday for a 14 hole stableford (13 in the<br />
winter) over the Struie course and whilst the golf is competitive they like nothing better<br />
than a chat in the clubhouse afterward over a dram. Anyone wanting further details<br />
please contact the office.<br />
Speed of Play<br />
With the club being such a popular destination for golfers, you can imagine that our<br />
Championship Course tee sheet is usually full throughout the season, therefore when<br />
playing on the Championship Course it is important to play at a suitable speed and<br />
keep up with the pace of play. To help manage the pace of play we have a course<br />
