Well, as Pitlochry Golf Club passes its first 100 years, its a great honour for me to serve as the Centenary Captain. There is a fantastic calendar of events planned this year and I urge all members to partake in the range of celebrations on offer.
Early highlights include:
The Hickory Challenge, on Saturday 25th April - we have hired 80 sets of Hickory clubs in order to host an event akin to the golfing conditions of 100 years ago. Of course things won't exactly be the same, but this is sure to provide a fresh challenge to us all. Please dress accordingly.
The Grand Match, on Sunday 17th May - each club with whom we traditionally play matches will be sending a team of 6, each matched with a team from Pitlochry in a better-ball aggregate competition - all the invitees are coming (as well as a team of hand-picked professionals), so we need 78 members on the day! Members enjoy free entry to the competition, with food before and after the game.
The Centenary Celebration Weekend - where as well as a number of golf competitions, we will celebrate our 100th birthday with a Ceilidh at the Atholl Palace on the evening of Friday 5th June. Tickets are limited so please reserve yours in good time. The Saturday sees the Centenary trophies and medals contested for the first time, followed by a bbq and evening of fun in the clubhouse - why not stay over at the Atholl Palace for a night or two, with accommodation prices for the weekend heavily discounted for members attending the functions - contact the hotel direct, or there are booking forms in the clubhouse.

Dear Capitan,
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise that golfers used Hickory 1000 years ago! Still you live and learn.
