Tuesday 4th August saw much activity over the Dollar slopes in support of the Club's "Drive to Survive" campaign towards raising funds to ensure a viable future for this traditional club and valued asset to the local community.
Tour professional Callum Macaulay was on hand and his challenge to "Beat the Pro" was the opportunity for many hopefuls to pit their golfing skills against this local champion.
The main event, however, was the "Eagle and Birdie Challenge" with four of Scotland's top amateur golfers playing 54 holes in a very unique match. Inspired by local member and Scottish international golfer, Scott Borrowman, he was joined in this venture by fellow internationals - Wallace Booth,
Gavin Dear (World & Amateur Champions and 2009 Walker Cup selections) and Gordon Yates (Walker Cup member). Not only did it provide the opportunity to watch these fine players in action but there were valuable prizes to be won by those who could guess the number of eagles and birdies this quartet could muster between them. Speculation
had been rife for some weeks with advice and estimates from from a variety of sources including that of the highly esteemed 'Course Pundit' whose forecast was featured on this website.
In the event the cards returned by our four gallant competitors were as under:-
