Despite the cold weather there was a good turnout for a competition played by members and invited guests on Saturday 13 June 1903. The winner of the driving and putting competition was Captain Fitzgerald B.H.A. It was reported that "The links are beautifully situated and of a sporting character and have been much improved lately."
