Kirkmichael Golf Club, Perth & Kinross. (1906 – WW1)

Following is an extract from a report from the Dundee Courier Monday 23 April 1906. - NEW GOLF COURSE AT KIRKMICHAEL – “Carnoustie Professional Inspects The Ground - The proposal to have a golf course at Kirkmichael is now coming into shape. The ground has been selected. It is on Whitefield, a part of the well known property of Kindrogan. The course will, it is expected, be in order for play early this summer. Bob Simpson, of Carnoustie, the well known professional, has been over the ground at Whitefield, and it is understood his opinion is that the site is very suitable, and should make one of the best inland courses he knows. The promoters of the scheme are to be congratulated on the fruition of their efforts, and no little thanks are due to Mr Balfour of Kindrogan, who, it is understood, has given the grounds on most reasonable terms.”
