Due to the below damage caused by golfers today (sadly there is more).
We are extremely sorry to all members, guests and visitors who were effected by this. We hope it didn’t spoil your experience today.
(1 of 2)
Our Head Pro Gregor Howie & Ex Head Pro Bill Lockie (combined 100 years of
@PGAScotland
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.

Kerr will take over from Brian Finlayson in January, who will retire from post after 30 years at the club.
We know the group responsible and give them until tomorrow evening to write to the club and apologise for this action, we also suggest a donation to the junior section as an apology.
We will be costing up the damage and if there is no apology we will be in touch with the group.
Congratulations to James Caldwell who won
@PGAScotland
Year 3 Trainee of the year.
James is our Assistant Pro

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.
At our AGM last night we made a couple of presentations…
Our Head Pro Gregor Howie was presented with a painting by ex Pro Bill Lockie to mark 25 years at

James Caldwell was presented with a gift for becoming

“The highest quality display of golf I’ve seen in 41 years”
“A lovely links in gorgeous condition”
We haven't really shouted about our junior section
@Barassie_KBGC
.
We can boast that we have had juniors play
@EuropeanTour
,
@WalkerCup
or work in the golf industry.
What we are mostly proud of, is that many kids who have been a junior at Barassie are still playing golf.
A nice little addition to the car park this afternoon.
We are looking forward to hosting the

team today from an American visitor.
“I’ve played 20 rounds of golf in the last 21 days and these are by far the best greens I’ve played on”.

Today is

It also marks the last day for our volunteer greens team who have been assisting with course set up this week.
Thank you to Royal Troon greens team for this great opportunity.
A few donations from our Walker Cup players. These will be added to our Walker Cup Players’ Lounge to celebrate the achievements of our 4 members who have played in 5
@WalkerCup
.
Can you name any players from the 5 Walker Cups (1989,1991,1995,2015,2019)?
Thanks to
@GolfDigest
for this one!
We are biased but Ayrshire really is a top destination to play golf in Britain.
Add in other notables just outside of the 7 mile stretch such as

Again golf in Ayrshire is a must.

We are excited that work on our new approach to the 13th hole will commence shortly.
Unfortunately our current green is holding water which has impacted on play in recent years.
@BarassieGreens
@KimberGolf
envisage that the new approach/green will be ready for play, come April.
We've teamed up with
@gaileslinks
&
@theWKGC
to offer golfers a unique golfing experience, called The Ayshire Classic.
Golfers will have the opportunity to play a round at Gailes Links, Barassie Links and West Kilbride, midweek during September at the special price of £299.
