SERVICE ABOVE SELF


NOVEMBER 2019: ISSUE 127


For 18 years now the club has hosted its major fund-raising event, a Charity Golf Day. The 2019 event took place in glorious sunny conditions on Monday 28th October at Kingsbarns Golf Links, attracting 112 golfers from all over the UK. Competitors came from as far afield as Bristol, Surrey, Campbeltown and Inverness to play for individual and team prizes. The Grand Match competition is fought out by teams representing England, South Scotland, Central Scotland and North Scotland. The event regularly brings in the region of £6,000 raised from a combination of entry fees, raffle income and sponsor donations from a wide variety of local and regional businesses and individuals. A proportion of the funds raised are distributed to local charities as well as the Rotary Foundation Charity and this year, the nominated recipients are Fife Young Carers, Friends of Craigtoun Park and TCCL Lodge (Tayside Children with Cancer and Leukaemia holiday home sited in St Andrews).


Marilyn and Bruce welcomed the golfers and then recorded their scores.


Rotary 1010 District Governor Alastair McNair travelled from Aberdeenshire to support the Charity Day and to present trophies and other prizes to the winners. Winning golfers for 2019 were; Longest Drive Lady at the 18th – Fiona Campbell Longest Drive Man at the 18th - Stevie Neilson Most Accurate Drive at the 9th - Tony McNally Individual Leading Lady winning the Morris Quaich – Mandy Allan Individual Leading Man winning The Kilrymont Vase – Iain Friel Grand Match Team North Scotland winning The Chesterhills Claret Jug. The Club wishes to to thank not only the players but the many businesses and individuals who gave both time and money to make this a successful event once more. We are sure that the charities supported by the event will make excellent use of the donations they will receive in due course.
