Hello there everyone. From time to time over the past 18months I have been posting pictures and up-dates on the progress - or lack of it - being made to our Clubhouse during the renovation project .
​Thankfully the lengthy and stressful lease arrangements are behind us and we have been able to move back "Home" to our own Clubhouse during the past week.
​There was much to be done to get the Clubhouse operational and gradually the bits of the jig-saw are falling into place, hopefully our Members will see a difference and an improvement each time they visit the Clubhouse where our new team behind the Bar - Manager Tony, and his assistants Emma and Robbie - will be doing their best to cater for our needs.  Improved Bar Food and Snacks, delicious Espresso Coffees, Draught Beers and Lagers served at the perfect temperature via the very latest sophisticated delivery system, all designed to make your Membership experience in the Clubhouse more enjoyable - all you have to do is use it.
​Thanks are due to all who worked so hard in all sorts of ways behind the scenes to make it happen - especially to Treasurer Henk Tor, Secretary Richard Cox and to Ladies Captain Anne Fraser whose help and advice have been invaluable.
​Finally, now that we are installed in the Clubhouse and you can see the results for yourselves there is no need  for further Clubhouse Updates and I am Redundant, but I leave you in the good hands of our Website experts Jack Allan and Lee Boyle, who are doing an excellent job and will keep you up to date on all matters relating to The Welbeck.
​All the Best - and as my old golfing partner Robert Dalton would say - "Long Balls tae you!"  Thank you for looking.
​David Mac.    

There was happy gathering of almost 80 at last night's combined Junior and Senior Prize-giving in the South Beach Hotel which included proud parents and relatives on hand to enjoy the occasion and share an enjoyable free Buffet.
​Our resident Professional, Gordon Mckinlay was on hand to present the Trophies with his usual style and panache, sadly for us at the Welbeck, Gordon has decided to retire from his post after 27 years. Gordon will enjoy some quality time with his Family, especially his new grand-daughter and actually playing some golf and involving himself in new projects.
​Gordon received presentation gifts from the Junior  and Senior Sections and thanked the company in his usual graceful and eloquent fashion. 
​Special thanks to Junior Convener Alec McCrone and Isobel Stirling for organising  Junior Golf and the Prize-giving, and especially to  Joe Carson and his Match Team of Alan Blackwood and Brian Reid for all their hard work, often in difficult circumstances, culminating in the Senior Prize-giving. Well done Lads!
​Thanks also to Stuart and all the staff at the South Beach for making us so welcome and looking after us so well.

Here are some more pictures taken today. I have included a few of the 'Conservatory ' end  of the main Clubhouse. It will look very stylish.

I WAS ABLE TO HAVE A LOOK IN AT THE CLUBHOUSE TODAY.  THE CLEANERS WERE IN AND I HAVE TO SAY THE FINISHES ARE EXCELLENT APART FROM WORK NEEDING DONE TO THE BAR, AND IT IS LOOKING GOOD. I AM SURE OUR MEMBERS WILL BE IMPRESSED.
​LEASE NEGOTIATIONS ARE STILL ON-GOING.

Here are the latest Clubhouse Pictures - looking good!!
