Tain Golf Club
Another great open in the club’s 125th Anniversary year. After the huge entry in the Spring Open the numbers in this year’s Glenmorangie Greensomes were double that of 2014 and everyone was delighted with the new greensomes format (if not the wintery weather in the afternoon).
Massive thanks to Glenmorangie for their continued support, the guys for having the course in great shape as usual and also to everyone who bought raffle tickets – the money raised will go towards the celebrations on the anniversary golf day on June 6 – it’s going to be a great day’s golf and live music in the evening from the Scone Fairies.
