Parish Fundraiser at Royal Dornoch GC
Invitation to play at Royal Dornoch Golf Club
Struie Course on Saturday, September 13
A JULY 31 deadline has been set for a Dornoch Firth Church of Scotland golf fundraiser.
Last year, the parish generated more than £15,000 with an event supported by Royal Dornoch.
This year, four person teams will play over the Struie Course on Saturday, September 13.
A few places are still available.
The £300 per team entry fee includes a goodie bag, pre golf bacon roll and tea/coffee and a two-course meal in the clubhouse, followed by an auction and raffle featuring a range of in-demand lots.
The golf day is being backed by Morrison Construction – the company building the new clubhouse – Glenmorangie and Royal Dornoch.
Application forms are available from John McMurray at:
