HOLE 8

Sammy Hardie had been an enthusiastic member of the golf club for many years. He truly was “a character”! His golfing ability may have been modest, but there was no greater supporter of the 19th hole than Sammy. He had a fund of stories and to spend a couple of hours with him in full flow, was an experience not to be missed. He asked that the hole be named “Sam and Bess Hardie”. The Hardie family had had links to the club since its inception in 1927. Dick was the great-nephew of the first green-keeper John Buchan who served the club from 1927 until 1937.
