With the present wind and rain it may not seem like it but the new 2020 season is fast approaching. The opening day of the season is Sunday 22nd March when the Captain’s Team plays the Vice Captain’s team in a match play Texas Scramble. This is followed by hot soup in the clubhouse. The entry sheets for the day are presently in the changing rooms or alternatively you can e-mail me and I will add your name to the list. A draw will be e-mailed to those taking part on the Thursday before.
The ladies are currently organising a block of coaching with Rory Brunton, one of the professionals from Dumfries & County Golf Club. This will be in the form of a block of 6 hourly lessons scheduled for April & May which will cost £60 for the whole block, These were held in 2019 and were very successful. If you wish to take part in these lessons, please contact Linda Brown by e-mailing lindabrown925@gmail.com

This is held on a Saturday morning and if you have a junior who would like to come along you can contact Dave on 01644 460556. In an exciting development for the juniors the Kirkcudbrightshire Golfers Association are attempting to get all the areas juniors together by providing professional coaching with Ross Murdoch at Towerwood Driving Range once a month.
