13th August:  We have required to make some small changes to the initial draw published yesterday. As a result of call off''s, we have managed to find a space for everyone on the reserve list.

Please take a note of your revised time by clicking on link below.

We appreciate that members dont like changes being made to the draw, but we are trying to meet requests for members travelling together, and avoiding 2 balls in the middle of the field.

Hopefully there will be no more changes to the draw, but a final draw will be emailed to all next Monday night.

It is with great sadness we inform you of the death of Richard Goodale.

Richard was a long-time member of the S.S.G.S. and a "well kent " face at many of our events. He will be sorely missed by all those of you who knew him well.

In memory of Richard, Maggie's Fife has been selected as this year's favoured Captain's Charity.

Our thoughts are with Richard's family and friends at this sad time.

July 2019 Newsletter update

                     THE GENERATIONS CUP.

The S.S.G.S. and Golphin have joined forces in a new initiative to develop links between Senior and Junior golf in Scotland.

Our inaugural event will be held at Dunning Golf Club on Sunday 22nd September with a 10.30 shotgun start

The format will be Texas scramble with 9 teams, each comprising of 2 Golphin and  2  S.S.G.S  players.

We therefore require 18 players to make the day a success - any wives / partners keen to play will also be most welcome.

This is a great opportunity for S.S.G.S. to be involved from the outset in this new and exciting drive from Golphin to develop Junior golf in Scotland and we will, in the coming months, consider other potential ties between our respective groups.

We trust this event will be well supported and would ask anyone interested to contact Keith Ross - mobile number - 07483 273489 or by e-mail - rosco1956@hotmail.co.uk
