and Chair of the Marine Alliance for Science and Technology. Dr Maynard said: “Saltmarshes absorb wave energy. When we studied the Eden Estuary it was clear that land behind salt marshes was in pretty good shape and far less likely to be eroded or flooded, whereas areas where there were no salt marshes were clearly getting pounded by the waves and were at risk.” So, with the help of Dr Maynard’s Team, our Greenkeeping staff, community volunteers and the Dornoch Academy students transplanted the saltmarsh plants around the 10th hole. This work continued for the next 2 years and helped to safeguard the Struie Course and allow it to remain playable for years to come. For more information on this project please see https://synergy.st-andrews.ac.uk/serg/projects/greenshores/ GEO Certified® Royal Dornoch has been awarded the GEO Certified® ecolabel, an international symbol of ‘great golf environments’. This recognises clubs that have met high standards for performance in nature conservation, water and energy efficiency, ethical and environmental supply chain, pollution control and community engagement. Scott Aitchison, our Deputy Course Manager, helped drive forward this project and which led to the accreditation of GEO. He said: “We are a rural site of stunning beauty, thriving with flora and fauna. We are responsible for a massive area of land which in itself is diverse. We have everything from grass airstrips, fields for grazing through sports turf to dune land. We are "links" and we encapsulate the very essence of joining the sea to the farmland. We are managing this diverse range of land as a members club who are active in supporting our community. We are consciously changing the mind-set of a large staff to think about the impact we have on the environment in each task we perform which amounts to our footprint as a business. Our recent, Global Environment Organisation (GEO) accreditation suggests we are doing things with the right attitude.” Dornoch Golfing Memories Group Recently, at Royal Dornoch, our staff took part in a session, hosted by Alzheimer’s Scotland, to become Dementia Friends. Our staff now have a better awareness of what Dementia means and how we can help those we encounter who are living with Dementia. Dornoch is a small community with an ageing population and it has become more apparent in recent years that we have members and people within our immediate community that live with Dementia. We are always actively looking for different ways we can improve ourselves and our community relationships and 30
working with Alzheimer’s Scotland seemed like a great opportunity to do just that. As Dementia Friends, we have teamed up with Alzheimer’s Scotland to host a get together, once a month, where people with Dementia can pop in and join us for a coffee in a warm and welcoming atmosphere and relive all of Dornoch’s golfing memories. There is also a support group, for carers, that runs alongside the Dornoch Memories group, which will be hosted by representatives from Alzheimer’s Scotland. For more information on our Golf Memories Group or if you would like to attend, please contact the club office. 31
