A Busy Time!

July and August have proved successful if not busy months for all concerned with the club. The course has shown itself to be one of the best in the Lothians. Feedback from visitors and members alike has had nothing but praise for the work the green staff has achieved. With Opens, Silloth, Club Championships the golfing calendar was full. Congratulations to all the Championship winners and competition winners. The format of holding the finals on one day proved a huge success again.

Volunteering

It is easy to forget the effort required to run each of these events. In all honesty we are too reliant on the same helpers. Next time you put your name up for a competition, think of volunteering.

Harburn's a Winner!

Congratulations to the Juniors, Ladies and Seniors, Again! Sections for winning their respective leagues. Clearly the condition of the course is helping to maintain our competitive edge.

Unfortunately, we have had a small, however, alarming number of incidents and damage to the course and clubhouse. All members are asked to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activities to the office.

You may have noticed the new custom built display cabinets in Spikes Bar. These have been generously donated by Jim Stewart of ClickNetherfield and will enable us to make more of a feature of our trophies. Our thanks go to Jim and his company.

Welcome to Gary and Kelly our new respective catering and bar managers. Although this is their first venture into club stewarding their coping well even in this busy period. Pool is back at Harburn with the introduction of a new pool table. If we can get the boys off it, only kidding guys, why not enjoy a game.
