What a great Open Competition it was! The day? - Saturday the 30th July 2011. The weather? - sun and bright skies. The Course? - in tip-top condition. Over 45 players teed off for the Stapleford, which ran from early morning to just before 7pm. A full event, with a number of last-minute comers sadly turned away. Perhaps not the prestige of the Castle Stewart Scottish Open, but a strong event that demonstrates West Coast golf at its best, and proves that Fort William has some superb golfing opportunities.
Players came from across the area, with good support from friends near and far. The Dragon's Tooth Golf Club paid tribute to all those who had attended the event, and thanked each and every player for their active participation.
The event was led by the Dragon's Tooth Golf Club, with superb organisation clearly apparent to all. Terry Goodwin, Club Secretary, led the organisational team and on the day, both Carol Goodwin and Kate Ward were there to meet entrants and ensure the whole competition went smoothly.
Prize Giving took place at 7pm, with an introduction from Vice Captain Bill Bryce. Awards were presented across numerous categories, and warm praise was also awarded to all those local businesses who sponsored the day.
Bill Bryce also paid tribute to David Lawrence, Greenkeeper and to his assistant Robert Morrison. It's their flair and dedication that has turned Dragon's Tooth Golf Course from a good 9 hole, to a truly remarkable gem of a course.
