Hello golfers,

It's here, it's officially the start of the summer. Temperatures haven't quite hit the dizzy heights of summer yet, but a prolonged dry period has brought a very dry bouncy golf course. Fingers crossed a bit of overnight rain and some increased temps are just around the corner to get our lush golf course back again.

 

PGA Young Professional's Sprint Series

On Monday, 1 May we held the season opening event of the PGA Scottish Region Young Professionals Spring Series. 48 professionals from all over the country came to a very blustery Linlithgow. The event was headlined by European Tour winner Alistair Forsyth who at 41 still qualifies as "young" due to entering the PGA Education Programme. The event itself was won by another former European Tour player Steven O'Hara who shot a fantastic score of 2-under-par, Steven is a long term friend of mine having grown up playing golf with him as a junior, pictured here you will see that I have aged significantly better than him....

Thanks to all the members who came along to help, support and watch the golf on the day. This was a great event for us to host and I hope to build on this over the next few years. A special thanks to Iain Harrison and Agnes Martin who helped the PGA on the day with starter duties.

The video is Alistair Forsyth driving the first green after a 284 carry over the first new bunker and on to the green.

Blue Tee Junior Event

On Sunday, 7 May the pro shop team will be hosting the first of our blue tee events of the season. All children from the Young Masters programme are invited along. We plan to play from holes 1-5 on the night and I ask all members to be aware of the young kids. The first tee will be closed from 6:00pm - 7:30pm any members looking to play will be asked to start from the sixth hole to avoid interrupting the young superstars.
