STUDENTS' GOLF ORGANISER MAKES SURPRISE RETURN TO HOME TOWN

Dr ROB MACPHERSON APPOINTED

 CLUB MANAGER BY NAIRN DUNBAR

Nairn Dunbar Golf Club recently has appointed a new club manager to take charge of their championship links nestling on the shores of the Moray Firth in the Scottish Highlands.

 

Dr Rob Macpherson, who hails from the area and whose family lives in the town, was a member of the club from 1977-2008 and learned his golf over the impressive seaside links. Previously Director of Golf Studies at the University of the Highlands and Islands in Dornoch, Rob also is involved in the management of Scottish, British and European University golf (and will manage the Great Britain team in the World University Championships at Crans-Montana, Switzerland in June 2014).

Rob, who is keen to take the club forward into the new season, said: “Managing Nairn Dunbar is a life-long dream. As a junior member, I spent hours during the long summer holidays practicing my golf and generally being a nuisance in and around the clubhouse and the putting green. 

"Returning to Nairn Dunbar, and greeting members old and new, has been great fun. The club does a magnificent job for its members, and the town, and I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead”. 

Nairn Dunbar’s 6,800 yard course has an enviable reputation, having hosted the Senior Home Internationals (2002), the Scottish Boys Strokeplay (1999 and 2011), the Scottish Ladies Strokeplay (2009) and the British Amateur (1994). 

Founded in 1899 for the artisans of the town, the club celebrates its 115^th birthday on May 24, 2014.

+ Dr Macpherson confirmed to Scottishgolfview.com that he will remain as the Scottish Manager, the British Chair and European Commisioner in students' golf.
