Our Head Pro Gregor Howie & Ex Head Pro Bill Lockie (combined 100 years of

experience😜) are still debating on how to repair this driver that was handed in when Gregor was Bill’s assistant.
Buzzwords used: Buffing, Sole Plate, Varnish, Whipping, Modern Technology!

Another measure taken by
@BarassieGreens
to help reduce contact with the pin for our members and visitors at Barassie.
The simple measure of turning the hole cup upside down will help players retrieve the ball without touching the flag.

The new 1st tee on the Links course looking fantastic this morning.
This is a great new upgrade to the Links following on from the new 12th hole.
The new teeing ground offers more variety of tee positions, a flatter teeing area and can make the par 5 slightly longer.
