March 2007
It is with pleasure that I welcome you,
to the 2007 golfing season with the Royal High FP Golf Club.
Some of you will be seeking divine
intervention for this years golf (just like Zach Johnson) so I have
taken the liberty of outlining this season’s outings below and trust you
will look forward to competing at some of Scotland’s top golfing venues;
Friday 11th May –The
Roxburghe Hotel & Country Club –
(Tee booked; 15:10 – 16:10 – Cost £39,
includes round, soup & sandwiches)
Sunday 10th June – Kinross
(2 rounds; Montgomery & Bruce)
Friday 6th July – Kings
Acre
Friday 17th August – Archerfield Links
In addition to the above traditional
strokeplay and stableford rounds, this year sees the launch of the
2007 Inaugural RHS FP Matchplay Tournament. As with all
competitions, we are relying on you indicating your interest in the
above in order to ‘make it happen’.
By the time you have read this on the website, the season
will have commenced, but I would
be most grateful if you could confirm your attendance as soon as
possible via completion and return of the attached entry form, via the
preferred method of communication – e mail. The Roxburghe course in
Kelso is known as the Augusta of the Borders and for only £39 represents
excellent value. We are hoping for a slightly drier day than that of
last year!
As many of you will have noticed,
unfortunately we have had to drop Elie from our rotation, this is due to
the continued inflexibility of the Secretary at the Club who was
demanding full payment in advance and an unrealistic minimum number of
20. The Elie outing has been replaced with Kinross, where the new
Montgomery course is a more than adequate substitute.
Subscriptions this year will remain at
£30.00, with members having the added convenience of being able to pay
directly into our Bank Account (quoting; RHS FP Golf Club) via;
Clydesdale Bank; sort code 82-63-05 and account number 90485665.
Please note that you can also pre pay for
all the outings via this method, thus making it much easier (and more
sensible given his track record) for our secretary, Mark Freedman, to
collect the required monies.
I trust the above to be in order and look
forward to seeing you all at Roxburghe.
Best of luck for the coming season,
Paul.

Archerfield Outing – Friday 11th
August 2006
A superb August day welcomed a
great turnout to the fantastic Archerfield Links, hosted courtesy of
Yuill Irvine.
Paul Dalgleish took the Brydone
Trophy with 37 points, pipping Gus Beaton on the last 6, this is the
second time in 3 years Gus has lost to a Dalgleish on a countback, hard
lines to the big guy!
Thanks to all of you who attended
this outing, it was great to end the season with both an excellent
member and guest turnout.
End of Season Prize Giving
Dinner
Due to popular demand, the end of
season prize giving dinner will be returning this year. Our illustrious
secretary is in the process of finding a suitable venue who will be
prepared to host our motley crew. Thanks to previous deviants who will
remain unnamed, the potential host list is short. More news along with a
confirmed date will be with you shortly.
Sawgrass/Doral Trip – 2007
I am delighted to advise that we
have had sufficient interest to proceed with the above trip. Costings
are currently being collated and the logistics discussed at the end of
season dinner.
Thank you for your continued
support this season and I look forward to Mark buying you all a drink at
our forthcoming dinner.
Paul Dalgleish
Thursday 27th July 2006
A fantastically sunny day saw some new faces and
excellent golf over the challenging Cardrona course.
Paul Dalgleish took the Stevenson Medal with a
scratch round of 79, whilst new member, Alan Gay won the Millidge Medal
with a net 73. (97-24)
Thanks to all of you who attended this outing, I am
sure you will agree the soup, sandwiches and course provided excellent
value for money.
Special thanks go out to honorary member Geoff
Freedman for gracing us with his presence and for yielding a hard earned
£15.00 to Eddie Dalgleish, not a bad wad for a pensioner Geoff!
Our final outing of season is sure to be a popular
affair, therefore I would appreciate your prompt response. Numbers at
Archerfield are limited. Priority will be given to fully subscribed
members and their guest
Tuesday 4th July 2006
Elie Outing – 11th June 2006
A fantastically sunny day saw some
equally tremendous golf over the well kept Elie links.
Cammy Stuart took the T.I.T
(Thomson Irvine Trophy) with a tremendous scratch round of 69, whilst
Mark Freedman won the Inches Medal with a net 65. (76-11)
A huge thanks to all of you who
attended this historical outing. Thank you also to the starter at Elie
who provided Gus Beaton with his ‘unique’ individual buggie. (see
attached pictures)
Gus also gave us this season’s
funniest moment when trying to negotiate the steep slope at the first
tee, he managed to roll the buggy down the hill, endangering not only
his life but those of others around him. The clubhouse almost had its
second demolishing in as many years.

After much deliberation, it was
decided to continue our historical June outing at Elie for one more year
at least, in order to sample the delights of not just the newly
refurbished clubhouse but also the 19th hole.
Once again, I would be most
grateful if you could confirm your attendance at Elie as soon as
possible, via e mail or indeed completion and return of the attached
entry form.
I have received 6 positives for the
2006 Royal High FP Match Play Tournament. I would urge you to consider
taking part, as we require at least 12 members to participate in order
to make this a reality.
You can continue to pay your
subscription and outing fees by cash, cheque or bank transfer to account
number; 82-63-05 90485665.
I trust the above to be in order
and look forward to seeing you all at Elie.

events, please contact me by
