The club is looking for teams and donations for the the “Craig Howie Support Golf Day” which will be held on Friday 21st September 2018 with a 1 pm shotgun start.

Craig has been a member of the Club since the age of seven and has been a fabulous ambassador throughout his Junior and Senior amateur career. Craig was Scottish Boys Champion in 2012, he was first in the Amateur Championship qualifying at Carnoustie in 2015 and won the prestigious Craigmillar Park Open in 2013 & 2017. He has represented Scotland with distinction at both Junior and Full International level.

Craig is currently playing on the Pro Golf Tour in Europe. He has performed consistently well and secured his maiden professional win after a sensational final round at the Leipziger Open in Germany. He is in the number one spot in the Pro Golf Tour rankings to all but guaranteed promotion to the European Challenge Tour next season. Craig is also seeking to qualify to play on the main European Tour and will be attending Qualifying School in the Autumn.

We are aiming to have full field of 20 teams for a scramble competition. The entrance fee is £150 per team which can include members and non-members – maximum handicap 28 men, 36 women. The fee includes a buffet meal served after the competition.

Offers to sponsor prizes for the event or the supporting raffle \ auction will be very much appreciated. All funds raised will be utilised to support Craig on Tour next season. Entries and offers of prize sponsorship should be directed to the Office.

Thank you in advance for your support.
