A Wonderful Shot for a Special Occasion

Sunday 27th August was chosen to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Mansionhouse. The Sharp family had their own "Clock Golf" for putting on the lawn, and so as part of the celebrations, a hole was cut for the first time in over sixty years.
Andrew Wilson (8 years) hit the first shot of the day and immediately had a "hole-in-one". It was a magnificent and memorable way to start the day.
Our picture shows Andrew, in the company of his grandmother Kate Dalrymple, receiving his "Hill of Tarvit" hickory cap from "Old Daw Anderson II".

The Stone pickers

We want to avoid those hickory golf clubs coming in contact with stone wherever possible. Just prior to sowing is as good a time as any to spot the rocks!
Our picture shows one of the many gangs helping out during the school holidays. In the driving seat of the NTS tractor is our resident conservation stonemason Tom. Brothers Loïc and Ivan Wattier, who have come all the way from Antwerp in Belgium, assist him on this occasion.
