HOLE 5

The Club Council gifted this hole to A. Davidson and Sons, of Knockothie Farm, as an acknowledgement of the debt owed by the club to the Davidson family over many years. Mr Alex Davidson (Senior) had been involved with the club during the war years. His wife, Mrs Jean Davidson, a keen golfer, had been an enthusiastic member of the ladies’ section for many years. However the club was particularly indebted to their sons Sandy and Ron for their help and support during the construction of the new nine holes. The club at the time had limited resources with little in the way of plant and machinery, but the Davidsons were always ready and willing to loan a tractor, a cart, or any other piece of equipment, whenever asked, and always free of charge.
