1st Hole-in-One for over 70 years!

Kingarrock recently succumbed to its first ace since George Thomson had two hole-in-ones on the same day in 1939.

Our star player on this occasion was Paul Charlton who holed his 166 yard tee shot with a brassie at the 2nd named 'Stand Sure'.

Old Daw Anderson was on hand to ensure that the ginger beer was replaced by something a bit stronger for the celebrations that followed 'afore ye go'.

WELCOME GEOFF OGILVY

Our timing for the Mansionhouse to receive its new coat of paint and be back as it was 100 years ago could not have been better.

The Open at St Andrews brought many first time guests to Kingarrock. Among them was a former US Open champion.

After his round, Geoff Ogilvy said "It can really help your swing speed and your imagination. You're learning all over again. There is something fun about playing golf like this."
