SUMMARY:Highland Tour: Match vs Fortrose and Rosemarkie
DESCRIPTION:Fortrose and Rosemarkie GC\, Ness Road East\, Fortrose IV10 8SE \n\n\n\nThe first evidence of golf being played over Chanonry (now Fortrose) was in 1702. Fortrose & Rosemarkie Golf Links is now known to be the 15th Oldest Recorded Club in the World with golf being played along the current 6th\, 7th and 8th holes in 1793. The AGM in July 1793 was arranged in Williamson’s Tavern! In 1932\, James Braid was invited to advise on a new\, extended course layout. In June 1935 a newspaper report noted that ‘The new 18 hole golf course\, laid out by Mr James Braid\, is of great variety and necessitates much skill. It’s sporting character will\, no doubt\, attract many visitors to the district’. Braid was invited back over the next 2 years to make a fresh survey. His fee was £12.10/-. Under his recommendations\, the course was re-designed and laid out forming the basis of the one in use today. The course is a Scottish Championship venue. \n\n\n\nMeet in golf attire from 11.30am for refreshments at member’s own cost. Tee times from 1pm. The format of the match will be a Fourball Better Ball for pairs of ladies or gentlemen against the club. Match fee £75 to include golf\, after golf drinks and a two-course meal (jacket and tie). This is a wonderfully convivial match hosted by a most friendly club and played at Fortrose and Rosemarkie GC. The match is limited to 28 golfers a-side.

SUMMARY:Highland Tour: Match vs Royal Dornoch
DESCRIPTION:Royal Dornoch GC\, Golf Rd\, Dornoch IV25 3LW \n\n\n\nGolf in Dornoch can be traced back to 1616\, and what is certain is that everyone who came to play marvelled at the wonderful links land and the challenge it presented.  In 1877\, Dornoch Golf Club was formed. The course was then only 9 holes long. In 1883 the annual subscription to the club was 2/6 and the annual income was £9.00. In 1886\, the Club invited the veteran champion golfer\, Old Tom Morris\, to visit Dornoch and lay out a more fully planned golf course. In 1906\, through the influence of Her Grace the Duchess of Sutherland\, a good friend to the Club\, Dornoch Golf Club secured the title and dignity of ‘Royal’ from King Edward VII. The Second World War saw an aerodrome on the Ladies 18 hole course and 4 holes of the Championship Course were lost. Royal Dornoch was the home of the course architect  Donald Ross who was also the first golf Professional at the club. Tom Watson is an honorary member of Royal Dornoch and is quoted as saying “It’s the most fun I’ve ever had on a golf course”. \n\n\n\nMeet in golf attire from 11.30 am for refreshments at member’s own cost. Tee times for the match from 1.00pm on the Struie Course. The format will be Fourball Better Ball for pairs of ladies or gentlemen against the club. The number of golfers for this match is restricted to 24 a-side. Golf for 12 is also available on the Struie course as needed or requested. Dinner for 60 (max) in the Royal Dornoch clubhouse (jacket and tie). Match fee is £60 and includes golf\, after golf drinks and dinner. This is another very enjoyable and well-contested encounter.

SUMMARY:Highland Tour: The Founding Meeting
DESCRIPTION:In November 1891\, a Public Meeting was held in Brora\, for the formation of a golf club.  After the chairman stated the object of the meeting\, the matter having been fully discussed\, it was unanimously agreed to form the club known to all as Brora Golf Club.  The membership fee was set at the modest amount of Two Shillings and Sixpence per annum. The golf course was originally 9 holes until around 1900\, when it was extended to 18 holes. In 1923 James Braid\, five times Open Champion and a prolific designer of golf courses\, was invited to visit. This he did in 1924 and for the princely sum of £25 plus travelling expenses he submitted plans for a redesigned 18 hole layout. This was largely implemented as he suggested. The course has suffered little change since Braid left it and remains mostly unchanged to this day. It is a classic example of a links course which can be numbered among the designer’s masterpieces and provides a fair and challenging test of true links golf. As the course is grazed every green is protected by an electrified wire fence. \n\n\n\nThis is the society’s main summer competition. Tee times from 11.00am. The prizes to be played for include the Peter Thomson Memorial Trophy Stableford\, the Curate’s Egg and the Captain’s Pink Balls. The entry fee is £85 (£60.00 for members of Brora GC) which includes golf followed by the James Braid Golfing Society dinner at Brora GC. \n\n\n\n\n\nBrora GC\, 43 Golf Rd\, Brora\, KW9 6QS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNon member/member\n	Non member £85.00 GBP\n	Member £60.00 GBP
