Kirkintiloch Gazette Friday 29 February 1924 – “CUMBERNAULD GOLF CLUB – At the anusl meeting on Tuesday, Mr Brown, retiring captain, presided. The treasurer submitted his financial statement. The secretary reporting on the years work, said when in February 1923, a little group gathered round the hospitable fireside at “Beechwood” to discuss the resuscitating of Cumbernauld Golf Club they little thought their efforts would meet with such enthusiastic and generous response. Their balance sheet showed the clubhouse venture was an unqualified success, because the clubhouse appeared not as a load of debt to be removed by bazaar, sale of work or whist drive, but as an asset to the club.The club were particularly indebted to those members who gave so freely of their time and energy in the construction of the clubhouse, in the laying out and improvements of greens, and in the provision of sand-boxes, flags, tins, tee-discs, and other items, and in providing refreshments at the opening meeting. Honoured by being trusted with the guidance of those activities, he knew with what smiling determination they were carried out even in the face of considerable discomfort. The balance sheet indicated secondly that a considerable amount of labour had been expended on the course. They appreciated the improvement which had been made there. An item on the balance sheet, the surplus from the teas, indicted an innovation of considerable importance. There were many items representing little in the report, but much in the planning and execution; many little drops of encouragement which swelled that satisfaction which was felt in a balanced account, with a course in large measure as they would like it to be, and every likelihood that no increased subscription was necessary. Captain Alan Burns had agreed to remain as president, and expressed a desire to offer a prize for competition, while Captain Nelson-Scott had also consented to remain as vice-president, and had renewed his offer of a prize.
Mr D M Aitken was appointed captain. Officials re-elcted or appointed were – secretary, William G Sword; treasurer, Mr S Y Shand, jun; committee – Boyd, Brown, Crawford, Kerr, Logie and Marshall”.
The competition for the captain’s prize was played on Saturday 19 July 1924 when T Y Shand beat W Sword by 3 and 1. Mr D M Aitken presented the prize at the conclusion of the game.
Special meeting held in October 1925.
