It was with great sadness that our local member Colin Troy passed away on the course during the Friday session of our Open Tournament. A true gentleman who quietly went about his golf down at Scarista.

Colin was a newish member of the Golf Club having joined during the last 18 months, this was Colin returning to golf after a number of years away from the game but his games with good friend and playing partner Peter Prince reignited his enthusiasm for the game and It is doubtful if there were many members who played as often as Colin and Peter over the last year.

Both Colin and Peter looked at the game as something not to be rushed and would make the most of the opportunity to play our wee links at Scarista, taking their time to enjoy the the craic with each other but always aware of the fact that others were in more of a rush and they would without question stand aside to let other groups through leaving them to go at the pace they enjoyed. Just as with many of us the golf was a game of light hearted banter and nobody at the club will feel the passing more that Peter. The condolences of the club go to Janet, Colin’s children and the wider family and friends.

The Open was stopped following Colin’s passing and while it is not possible to hold the full event this year we will be holding a one day Open in memory of Colin with all proceeds going to his family. This one day Open will take place this Saturday (21st) with a shotgun start at 10am and will be followed by the prizegiving where we will raise a toast to Colin. This is an Open competition so visitors and members from other clubs are welcome to play.

The Isle of Harris Golf Club has always prided itself on being a friendly and welcoming Club and I hope that this has been your experience as a member here.

The past year has been somewhat surreal at the Golf Club with us having to adapt to the changing landscape the Covid-19 pandemic has left us with. We are in the fortunate position to have had good stewardship over a number of years (long before I was Captain), which has left us financially secure and able to weather the Covid storm relatively unscathed.

Some of the changes forced upon us by the pandemic have resulted in improvements in the way things work. The online booking system for example, has been excellent for both members and visitors alike and is something which we will retain into the future.

There are aspirations and goals we are working towards and we hope that some of these can come to fruition over the next while. Some of these are listed below.

• Improvements at Clubhouse
  – Install broadband and WIFI at Clubhouse
  – Employment of individual at Clubhouse
• New improved website
• Continued on course improvements

As a Club we recognise there are always areas where we can improve and would welcome any suggestions from members of where you see things are not quite right.

I would like to express my thanks to the office bearers, committee members and you as members for your continued support of the Club.

Finally, I would like to thank on your behalf, James Dunne for the work he does. James is not only the Greenkeeper but handles competition entries, tee bookings, handicap secretary and enforcer for non- paying guests, to name but a few of the roles he fulfills on our behalf. Thank you James.

Kenny Morrison
Captain
