Pro's Day 2019 This past Saturday saw my first annual Pro’s Day Event take place. The format was an individual Stableford with prizes for the top 4 in gents, top 3 in seniors and also a top junior and ladies prize. There was also nearest the pins at all of the par 3s, straightest drive at the 5th and a hidden hole prize which was the highest Stableford accumulative points over holes 6,8,11 and 13. I also had my Assistant Professional Connor out on the 4th tee challenging the players to a beat the pro! All in all, it was a great day and the feedback has been amazing. Ultimately it’s you the members that make these days a success all I have to do is organise them and make them as eventful as possible. So thank you for everyone who took part, this was the first of many Pro’s Days at Arbroath Links for many years to come!

Thank you to everyone who took part yesterday without your support these events wouldn't be possible. I hope you all enjoyed the day despite the heavy downpour around 12:30! I will continue to run these types of events and make little tweaks here and there to try and ensure they are ultimately as fun as possible. The money from the 4th hole challenge will now be in your account, big thanks to my assistant Connor for not bankrupting me!! One final note, a huge well done to Callum Stockton yesterday who not only broke 100 for the first time but also amassed 51 points! His handicap has come down from 35 to 26!! Well done and keep up the good work! All prizes are ready to collect from the pro shop. |
