Braids United Golf Club

Braids United Weekly
AGM was held on Saturday, minutes will be posted on the club website when completed.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank two resigning members of the committee, for their years of commitment and hard work to the club, both of them previous club captains themselves so their experience will be a great loss to the committee. Dougie Aitken and Glenn Marsters, they will still be around playing and am sure will still be approachable for advice and help if required.
We would like to welcome two new members to the Committee Gordon Brown returning committee member and Dan Sim. Welcome to you both.
