BALFOUR FLASK 2012

It has become our custom over several years to attempt to play the Balfour Flask competition over the New Year holiday period.

At the time of writing it looks like we won’t be golfing over Ladybank for about 2 months, so, weather permitting, the date & time will be:

Sunday 2nd January 2010, 10:30 a.m. at Ladybank.

This year we plan to go again with 3 clubs and a putter over 9 holes, a fun size morning.    15/12/11

2011 OUTING

The Auchtermuchty Golfing Society held their 2011 Outing at the Crail Golfing Society on Friday 3rd June. Due to the unfortunate absence of Captain George Cook ex-Captain Sandy Green welcomed the party of nineteen members and guests on a beautiful summer’s day by the Fife coast. The company played the morning round on Crail’s challenging Craighead course with the slightly easier Balcomie in the afternoon. Doug McGilvray’s excellent scratch 70 in the afternoon was the outstanding score of the day. Prize-winners were:
