From the Post Bag

My parents were telling me that they had visited your club last week. they had an absolutely fabulous day and I just wanted to thank you and everyone at portpatrick for making their day so special. they said they couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome and if they lived a little closer they would be applying for membership.

Thank you for making my Christmas present such a good one.

Everyone really enjoyed Portpatrick, even the 2 girls who were too ill to play!

The welcome at the club was fantastic not only from yourself, but more importantly in some ways from your members. The few we met were so friendly and pleased to see us (unlike a few clubs, namely mine!).

It was a really good fun day and the food afterwards was excellent. The whole experience is a real credit to all of you involved and you should be very proud of your club!

Dear Mr Captain

Just a quick note to say thank you for the wonderful hospitality we received on our trip to Dunskey.

Everyone enjoyed participating in the Open on Saturday.

The entertainment on Saturday night was great fun and please thank your catering staff – the quality of the food served over the weekend was superb.

We look forward to entertaining your ladies next year.

I would just like to say a big thank you to James and Portpatrick Golf Club for the fantastic welcome and hospitality extended to my son Ally and the rest of the Junior Golf Tour at the recent match against the ‘Auld Enemy’. James was brilliant with the lads and his enthusiasm made for a great weekend of golf.

Anytime you are over in St Andrews let us know and we will be happy to meet up.

Be great if the event is on again for next year – hope so.

Thanks again, Duncan and Ally.

Thank you very much for sending me so promptly a copy of your Club’s poem ‘Do you  Just Belong’. It is something which applies to almost all clubs and certainly ‘rang a  bell’ with me when I first read it on our recent visit to your club with my wife.

Our visit in July was a lovely day. Your course was in splendid condition and we were  well looked after by your staff after our game. We couldn’t resist finishing our meal  with a ‘sticky toffee pudding’! It was delicious and one if not the best we sampled on  our trip.

Finally thank you very much for the courtesy you extended to me as Captain of my club  Chigwell Golf Club.
