This season has been the end of a era for Carrbridge Golf Club and long term assistant greenkeeper Robert Brandie. After 18 years of loyal service Robert’s back has finally decided it’s time for him to retire. Not many people know the course like Robert and he will be missed by members and the greenkeeping team, however we are sure it won’t be long before his advice and course knowledge will be called upon again. We thank you and wish you a happy retirement, Robert.

It’s the end of the season and the traditional 3 club challenge and prize giving took place on Saturday 9th October. Armed with only 3 carefully chosen clubs 18 golfers took to the field in a shotgun start. Two prizes were up for grabs, the best nett score and the fewest putts. Jock Clark was the winner of the best score with a very good 67 and John Walker was the winner of the glass putter with just 26 putts. Thanks to the Cairn Hotel for their sponsorship of the event.

After the golf came the annual prize giving with all the winners from this season awarded their trophies and vouchers. Following the prize giving we were treated to a lovely meal and enjoyed good company.
