Busy week for the Rotary Club of Dumfries
The club's Am-Am golf competition took place at Dumfries and County Golf Club on Tuesday and on Friday there was a visit from the Guid Nychburris principals.
It was a busy week for the Rotary Club of Dumfries with their Am-Am taking place on Wednesday at Dumfries and County Golf Club and the Guid Nychburris principals visiting the club's lunch meeting on Friday.
The Am-Am was blessed with fine weather and the 31 teams found the course in wonderful condition.
There were the usual prizes for the teams with the best score, nearest the pin on certain holes and longest drive on certain holes.
One prize which caught the eye was for the best team score on the 14th hole which was won with a super score of 10, which suggests two pars and two birdies. Wouldn't it be lovely if it was 3 holes-in-one and a seven.
A well supported raffle was held during the day and helped to swell the coffers to a total of £4,500 which will be split between the nominated charities of the local branches of Parkinsons UK and Alzheimers Scotland .
On Friday, a tradition that has been going since pre-war days, was a visit from the Principals of Guid Nychburris.
The club was delighted to welcome Will and Lynsey and their Lynors Fergus, Jack, Rory and Ross and hear a bit about them and how they are enjoying their duties.
Among the members there is a previous Cornet from the 1960s and a Lynor from the 1980s and among the guests were two former Cornet's lasses from 1964 and 1975. It was lovely to think that present Cornet's Lass Lynsey might pay the club a visit in the year 2075.
