Recollections of a Dalry resident - I grew up in Dalry, Ayrshire, and when we were teenagers we used to occasionally whack a ball from some of the old tees which were still there. The council houses we stayed in were built over most of it during the 50s and 60s, replacing the miners' rows that were close to the edge of it. There was also an attempt to revive the club and find a new course some time during the 1970s-80s.
