On Saturday 17 August, 100 Members and their guests took part in our annual Killermont Guest Invitational. The weather held up for most of the day but unfortunately the sun decided to have a day off.

Regardless, the golf all ran to time and flowed well throughout the day and by all accounts our course was thoroughly enjoyed by our guests. Refreshments were provided at the 11th tee to help fuel those involved over the last 8 holes!!

The scoring was very good with the prize winners as below:-

Well done to all of our prize winners.

Off the course we were all “fed and watered” and very well looked after by Kevin and his team with many people still in Kelvin Suite approaching 22.30 hrs.

A huge thank you is expressed to all GGC staff and also to the Members involved in making the event a huge success. Well done to everyone.

As far as the Captain’s Charity, MacMillan Cancer Support, is concerned with the donations made for the 17th Nearest the Pin in two and also the auction conducted by the Vice Captain, approximately £2,500 has been raised. A fantastic sum and your generosity is very much appreciated.

In conclusion a great day was enjoyed by all.
