The next auspicious tournament was the Scottish<br />
Amateur Championship. It was won by Cameron<br />
Adam from <strong>Royal</strong> Burgess who set a course record<br />
for the new layout of 63 on the way to winning the<br />
championship. Chris Mailey (Chippie) reached the<br />
semifinals, one of the best results for a local<br />
member for many years.<br />
Unfortunately I missed this event because I was again<br />
on the other side of the pond, this time at the <strong>Royal</strong><br />
Montréal 150th celebrations. Great hospitality and<br />
a fabulous event spread over three days. It gave me<br />
both some ideas for our 150th coming up in 2027,<br />
but also an appreciation of some of the challenges<br />
we have to confront! Appealing to my vicarious<br />
Canadian background, I also enjoyed spending time<br />
with <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Dornoch</strong> members in Ottawa and<br />
Montréal, as well as some exploration of the wineries<br />
in Prince Edward County.<br />
In mid-August, I refereed the final of the Carnegie<br />
Shield. It was won by Ewan Cuthbert, who is a<br />
member both at Nairn and <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Dornoch</strong>. My job<br />
was not too demanding, with Ewan winning 7&5.<br />
