In the surrounding districts the club which calls for first mention is Brucehaven, which serves the villages of Limekilns and Charlestown. The changes here are outstanding. The course has been extended from nine to eighteen holes.
The club has a membership of about 100, and their enthusiasm for the game has been responsible for this extensive scheme being carried through this winter.
For their added pleasure the members are not being called upon to pay heavy fees. There is only a difference of 5/- , the ladies’ being increased from 10/- to 15/- and the gentlemen’s from 15/- to £1.
