A fabulous day on Saturday 29 June with a Texas Scramble to celebrate the opening of our refurbished club!

Well done to the Texas Scramble winners Frances Mowatt, Margaret Dickson, David Marshall and Eric Wales with a net 29.55 and to Mike Shakspeare for nearest pin at the 1st. Big thanks to Jimmy Boggon on being the successful bidder of the malt whisky that Mike Shakspeare put up for auction having won it on nearest the pin.

Thank you to all who bought raffle tickets and those who donated prizes, we raised £230 to help buy strips for our juniors who represent Gifford in the league.

Refurbishment started on schedule on Monday 7th January and there has been significant progress.

The entire interior of the clubhouse is just a shell at the moment, with the changing rooms and kitchen stripped, partition walls removed, and the old secretary office is just a memory.

Shirley and Sadie are continuing the catering in a limited capacity, providing hot drinks and biscuits from the temporary caravan, as well as controlling the starting sheet.

Please note that the starter number is operating as normal, but the Secretary number is currently unavailable, however anyone requiring to contact me, can find me in the new cabin, or can contact me by email: secretary@giffordgolfclub.com, or by mobile: 07947 442124.
