It could be argued that the last fifth of the Club's hundred years has witnessed a greater extent of change than before, save perhaps the first decade of the Twentieth Century.
The base provided by the new clubhouse was steadily built on during the 1970's. As resources permitted, the amenity of the building was improved with soft furnishings such as carpeting and the locker rooms were steadily upgraded. By 1984 the Club was in a position to employ a Steward and Chris Yuill became the first occupant of the post.
Allied to the creation of this post, the Club undertook an extension of the Clubhouse to provide Steward's accommodation and further storage areas. These works were completed in early 1986 at a cost of three times that which it took to build the Clubhouse in 1967. Perhaps this point alone indicates the benefit which the Club derived from having built before the explosion of building costs in the 1970's.
The means by which the Clubhouse extension was financed serves to point out a characteristic of recent years. One third of the cost was provided in the form of a grant from the Highlands & Islands Development Board.
Although the 1967 building works did receive grant aid from public bodies, the greater availability of such funds in recent years has been of considerable benefit to the Club.
This has never been illustrated more clearly than in the instance of coastal erosion.
During the 1960's and early 1970's, the loss of land on the seaward edge of the course became increasingly apparent. The issue appeared regularly in the minutes and by 1976 agreement was reached with the Manpower Services Commission for a project to carry out protective works at the third hole.
However, in late 1977, a particularly bad marine incursion served to highlight two main points. First, the cumulative effect of erosion had resulted in lower-lying areas of the course being exposed to swamping by the sea, especially in Springs and Autumns when easterly winds coincided with high tides. In 1977, this had meant that large areas of the 3rd, 4th and 5th fairways, as well as the 5th and 6th greens were submerged, while waves lapped at the embanked sides of the 18th green. Second, the scale of works required to offset this menace posed a formidable problem for the Club. Continued discussions with and representations to various authorities only served to highlight the problem.

When possible, the Club sought to stem the loss. The demolition of the old railway bridge in August 1979 afforded the opportunity to provide some rubble protection of the shoreline below the Clubhouse.
The major breakthrough in the battle against the sea came in 1980. By then Highland Regional Council, although only five years old, had become adept at utilising funds available from the EEC. In its capacity as agent for coastal protection, Highland Region committed a six-figure sum to a project which saw the 3rd hole and most of the 4th hole given protection by a facing of large quarried stone. Four years later a similar scheme was effected around the 5th green and 6th tee.
Since then, it has been gratifying to see that nature has provided a fine storm ridge between the two lengths of stone defences, so that the shoreline has become well protected along the length of the course.
Quite simply, public funds enabled the completion of a task utterly beyond the resources of the Club.
A second key to improving the course happened in 1974 with the removal of grazing sheep from the course as Heavitree Farm ceased its enterprise. While there had been relatively little friction between the farm and the Club, this development was nevertheless welcome. It eased the rate of damage to bunker faces and offered substantial relief to efforts in maintaining greens. Mark you, the Club also quickly came to realise the extent to which grazing had kept the rough in check!
Doubtless encouraged by this turn of events, the Club installed a water supply to the greens in two phases between 1974 and 1976. The timing of this could not have been better as the summers of 1975 and 1976 were characterised by gloriously hot dry weather.
All told, these changes have allowed the Club to optimistically address the matter of seeking to improve the condition of the course. It's a pity that Bobba was not able to enjoy the greenkeeping benefits derived from these changes. His ability to produce a fine course for tournaments, despite grazing sheep and lack of water, had become a hallmark of his trade.
In 1972, he decided to retire from greenkeeping and his departure was appropriately marked by the conferring of Life Membership at a function in the Autumn of the year. It is difficult to convey fully the extent of Bobba's contribution to the Club over his many years of service. Suffice to state that his name continues to be synonymous with Club life and many regular visitors to the area continue to enquire about him.
Possibly one way of putting his contribution into context is by remembering that between Charles Stage and Bobba, the post of greenkeeper was occupied for something like eighty years. By contrast, there have been four greenkeepers during the last sixteen years.

Bobba was succeeded by Willie Murray. Willie was as energetic a greenkeeper as he was a player. The author recalls being paired with Willie in a medal. The round took 1 1/2 hours to complete, Willie took 72 shots to negotiate the course and the author took oxygen to effect a recovery.
However, after a year in post, Willie decided to move to other work and Adam Sutherland was appointed Greenkeeper. A steady worker who breathed fire on members engaged in a spot of illicit practice on fairway areas, Adam expired very suddenly in January 1980.
Ken Park, who had been an apprentice greenkeeper on the course, then took over the reins. Ken's appointment as an apprentice in 1976 indicated a change in Club policy. It had been the norm to retain only one full-time greenkeeper and support him with seasonal assistance in the Summer. This change signalled a clear commitment by the Club to furthering work on the course.
In 1985, Ken Park took his leave of the Club and George Marchmont, Assistant head Greenkeeper at Royal Aberdeen, took over. George's particular skills in construction work were put to use as a substantial programme of tee extensions was embarked on.
The matter of tee ground had become increasingly problematic. The essence of this was that tee capacity was failing to keep up with what has been an explosion in the playing of the game.
In the course of the last twenty years, the numbers playing golf have increased beyond all possible predictions. The membership of the Club has doubled in number. The number of men with official handicaps has tripled. The number of ladies with LGU handicaps has increased similarly. The number of visitors playing the course each year has doubled. The number of fixtures in the season has tripled.
The growth in Ladies golf has perhaps been the clearest change, not only reflecting change within the Club, but also indicative of wider social changes. During the early 1970's, Ishbel Urquhart and Helen Smith had carried the Office of Lady Captain.
Andrew Mackintosh and Sheila Robertson, winners of the 1986 National Final of the Save the Children Fund Mixed Foursomes.
Marion Shand and Margaret Sutherland each undertook a two year stint in the Captaincy to complete the decade. During that period, the idea of allotting Tuesday evenings for Ladies golf was first tried. It has proved successful and the practice continues.
Etta Brown and Sheila Robertson have each subsequently performed the duties of Lady Captain for a three year stint, overseeing a continued growth in the Ladies game. Linda Hart, perhaps the most accomplished Lady Member of recent years carried Office in 1986 before looking to a future in Australia. Since then Juna Sutherland has shouldered the burden of Captaincy.

One of the benefits of this growth in ladies golf is that the Club has become more balanced. The other main spin-off has been the re-emergence of Mixed Foursomes as a popular playing format. The pleasing success of an annual Open Mixed Foursomes has been an encouragement and the fixture is now well established in the calendar. Indeed, it is the mixed format which has given the Club its only success in a national final of the new breed of large scale sponsored events. Andrew Mackintosh and Sheila Robertson won the 1986 Final of the Save the Children Mixed foursomes at Glenbervie. Not only did this serve to encourage this form of the game, it was pleasing that the honour fell to two members who have combined the playing of the game with contributing to running the Club.
This growth in nationally-sponsored events in which there is an initial Club qualification round comes at a time when the Club's fixture list was already expanding. A number of new trophies have arrived in the fixture list with this increase in events. This process has continued right through to 1988 with the inauguration of the Golspie Classic, a 72 hole Open Tournament.

However, the more traditional fixtures have continued to hold their place.
In 1970 the format for the Club Championship was changed to 72 holes medal play, reflecting a trend towards strokeplay within the game. Robbie Macrae, a most natural striker of the ball, won the Bell Cup in 1970 and 1971, while Donald Urquhart's eleventh success in 1972 illustrated his effectiveness in all forms of competition. Macrae regained the title in 1974 before local government reorganisation saw him move to Stornoway.
Ken Houston, Carnegie Shield winner 1977.
The year in between, 1973, was when Ross Shand, then a youngster of solid promise, secured his first Club Championship. This heralded the arrival of another golfing generation in the event. Perhaps not the most elegant swinger of a golf club, Shand is nonetheless possessed of a consistent long game allied to a short game which stands comparison with the best. He went on to enjoy golf at University during an era when golf was one of the few sports in which Universities did not suffer a relative decline in standards. A consistent performer in Open Tournaments in Sutherland, Shand gave Golspie its only success in Brora's Four-day event when he won the Ainslie Salver in 1977. In that year's Final, he accounted for Stuart Shaw by one hole, winning the last three holes to retrieve and overcome what had been a two hole deficit.
Ross Shand's return to settle in the area has seen him accumulate a further six Club Championships, so that he is currently the only player who is within sight of Donald Urquhart's record in the event. Perhaps that is a sign of his abilities.
In 1975 another new name was added to the Bell Cup when Ross Shand's contemporary, Ken Houston, prevailed.
Ken's win in 1975 came during a season largely characterised by runner-up positions. He secured the bronze medal in that year's County Cup, played over the Golspie course, thus becoming the Golspie Club's only County Cup medallist between Donald Urquhart's success in 1961 and the completion of the Club's first century of existence.
In the space of two weeks that August, Houston lost in the Final of the Ainslie Salver to Brora's Ronald Macdonald, missed the Sinclair Cup in the Golspie Open by one shot with a score of 143 to the 142 returned by Brora's Robin Wilson, and went down to Jim Miller of Brora in the Final of the Carnegie Shield at Royal Dornoch.
A very solid player, given to phases of inspirational putting, Ken put matters right in 1977 when he won the Carnegie Shield. This was indeed a notable achievement and no small satisfaction was derived from accounting for Jim Miller at the Quarter-final stage before defeating Robin Wilson by 3/2 in the Final, thereby offsetting events of two years previously.
It is one of those little ironies thrown up by sport that the only Golspie winners of the Carnegie Shield, Richard Mennie and Ken Houston, gained their respective victories in Royal Dornoch's Golden Jubilee Year and Centenary Year. Needless to say, that has not been lost on the denizens of the Golspie Clubhouse.
Taken in tandem, the successes of Shand and Houston in 1977 were not only delightful moments for two lads who had grown up together on the Course, they contributed to the most notable of recent years for the Club in Open Tournaments.
Both had received much encouragement to play in Open Tournaments from James Macpherson and, in 1976, he succeeded Houston as Club Champion. Following this first success, he went on to complete a further hat-trick of Championships between 1978 and 1980. A teacher to trade, Macpherson had moved into the area some years previously and soon established a significant contribution to Club life both as a player and administrator. In a sense, he broke the ice as far as success in scratch sections of Open Tournaments is concerned, winning the Sinclair Cup at Royal Dornoch in 1974 with a score of 149 giving him a one shot margin.

In so doing, Macpherson showed that there was no reason for Golspie members not to win, a message taken up by Shand and Houston in due course. While there have been relatively few further successes since 1977, there have been more near misses than before.
If anything, James Macpherson was prone to hooking the ball. One recalls a Golspie Open in which he tied with Jim Miller for the Sinclair Cup. So to a play-off. Still even after three holes and on to sudden death. In the course of the long fourth hole Macpherson's ball twice paid the visit to the beach which results from a hook only for the bounce of the ball on stones to return it to the fairway. On the card, the hole was only a half in par 5. Miller ultimately won at the 7th, carrying the look of satisfaction born of the feeling that one has finally triumphed not only over one's opponent but also over something extra.
The Bell Cup has been dominated by Shand and Macpherson in recent years as they have won between them eleven of the last sixteen championships. Ken Houston interrupted the duopoly in 1981, but it was 1985 before a new name appeared on the trophy.
In the case of Michael Bonner, who finally secured a Championship in 1985, the question had really been `when' rather than 'if. There was never any doubt about Michael's ability as a striker of the golf ball. However, he had seemed unable to sustain the level of game which he is capable of over the four rounds of the championship. Until 1985, that is.
Ross Shand totted up another two victories in 1986 and 1987 before Roddie Cameron took hold of the Bell Cup in 1988. Roddie is able to combine a powerful long game with a deft putting touch and his return to live in Golspie gave him the opportunity to make his mark on the Club Championship.
Another encouraging signal comes from Cameron's success in the Club's hundredth year. He represents the arrival of another generation of players and this continues to give hope that the Club will foster good Category 1 golfers. His contemporaries have already contributed to the Club. Alistair Macdougall has recently been a losing finalist in the Ainslie Salver, while Larry Stewart was in the Northern Counties Cup team of 1981.
After a gap of four and a half decades, a Golspie team made the final day's play at Nairn that year before falling to the ultimate victors, Elgin, at the penultimate stage. Perhaps the best single Northern Counties result achieved by any Golspie team was that year. Ross Shand, John C Mackay, Robert Inkster and Larry Stewart caused a major shock when they defeated a formidable Inverness team at the Quarter-final stage. Not least of the pleasures attached to that result was that the Club caught the headlines in the Press & Journal's coverage of the event, although the hole in one by John C at Nairn's 4th added considerably to proceedings. What a scarcity of success in Open Tournaments does mean, however, is that any such result is all the more pleasing.
Golspie Open Day. The car park is full and there is a buzz around the Clubhouse. James Macpherson checks his time with starter John Williams who was a regular visitor and Golspie Open Starter for many years.
Although there has been a capacity for Golspie members to compete more forcefully in Open Tournaments in recent years, successes have been guy scarce. Although a victory in the Brora Open by Douglas Macrae while home on holiday comes to mind, it remains a fact that no member of the Club has won the Sinclair Cup in the Annual Tournament since 1960. In that year, Robbie Macrae overcame monsoon-like conditions to return a total of 149 which left him two shots clear of the field. Interestingly, the Class 2 winner that day was a 12 handicap player from Brora - Jim Miller.
Miller's game progressed rapidly and only two years later he won the Sinclair Cup in the Annual Tournament. Since then he has consistently dominated events in the area and by 1988 he was having his name engraved on the Sinclair Cup for the fourteenth time.
The Annual Tournament has continued to prosper, assuming the title Golspie Open after the successful development of the Millicent Bowl Tournament. During the 1960's, entries for the Tournament steadily grew and by the mid 1970's an entry list in excess of 120 had become the norm. In an effort to satisfy this demand without having play from dawn to dusk, Council decided to split the event into two days with Class 2 playing on the Saturday and Class 1 on the Sunday. This arrangement started in 1976 but lasted only a very few years as the loss of the atmosphere which had accompanied the one day event was keenly felt. Since reversion to a single day, the entry limit of 90 places has been regularly oversubscribed.
During the 1960's the Open Tournament became an occasion on which course records were established. Hamish Sutherland of Royal Dornoch started this off in 1963 when two halves of 34 in his afternoon round matched the par of 68. In so doing, Sutherland finally matched the score set over three decades previously by Adie Sutherland, albeit over an altered layout, following the move of clubhouse in 1952 and the establishment of new tees in the late 1950's.
This record lasted only until the next Annual Tournament when Brora's Ross Dawson reduced it by one shot. His 67 was certainly assisted by a hole in one at the Saucer en route to an outward half of 32 shots, although a 6 at the Fields offset the effects of this. A calamitous afternoon round of 79 meant that Dawson did not win the Sinclair Cup that year, Jim Miller's rounds of 73 and 72 sufficing. Indeed, the name of Miller has become synonymous with course records over the years. His afternoon round of 66 in the 1967 Golspie Open was born of an inward half of only 30 strokes. This set the mark over the amended layout following the opening of the new clubhouse that year. Five years later he trimmed a further shot off this, largely as a result of negotiating the first nine in 32 shots. Tacked on to a morning 70, Miller's margin of victory in that year's Open was eleven shots. A further three years later, in the 1975 Millicent Bowl, this remarkable player matched his earlier 65 in the morning and went on to add a 66 in the afternoon. That gross score of 131 represents the single finest day's golf compiled by anyone over the Golspie course.
It is entirely appropriate that Jim Miller should have this distinction. Quite simply, he is the most accomplished son of Sutherland golf. Not only has he acted as a lead for the Brora Club, he has set the benchmark for all players in the area and recognition of his contribution should never be sublimated to parochial feelings.
One sign of the effect of this on the standard of golf in Sutherland is that, despite the entry list for the Golspie Open being regularly drawn from a wide area, the Sinclair Cup has rarely left Sutherland during the last twenty five years. Very capable Brora players such as Robin Wilson and Iain Grant have prevailed on occasions, as have members of Royal Dornoch of the calibre of Gordon Fraser, Ian Mackintosh and Stuart Shaw.
There have been two two year exceptions to this norm. In 1968 and 1969, the event was won by William Murray, a very stuffy player from Wick. The 1969 event was marked by being the only Open to be limited by weather, a fierce morning thunderstorm resulting in the event being reduced to eighteen holes. In 1973 and 1974, the event was won by Leslie Taylor and Chris Hird, both members of the Ranfurly Castle Club. Taylor was a sufficiently fine player to have been a finalist in the Amateur Championship and was possessed of a beautifully languid swing. One measure of the pleasing nature of his swing was that Bobba was moved to make a point of going out to watch him in play.

The Ranfurly Castle connection was a result of the encouragement of Ken Murray. Ken had grown up in Golspie and played the course many times. Following a career in the RAF, he settled in Bridge of Weir and visited Golspie each summer. He actively encouraged his golfing friends at Ranfurly to visit the Golspie Open and so the link developed. It is a pleasant coincidence that the Ranfurly Castle club is celebrating its Centenary in the same year as Golspie. Ken later became the first Manager of the Royal Dornoch Club and played a major role in re¬establishing that Club's international reputation. In so doing, he always kept Golspie in mind and the Golspie Club has much to thank Ken for in making it known to people.
Miller's tenure a course record holder was interrupted briefly in 1985 when the Amateur Championship saw the mark reduced to 64 shots. Ian Stephenson from Moortown near Leeds, a left handed player, required only twenty five putts during his round. Four consecutive birdies from the 4th gave him the base of an outward half of only 31, while his inward nine culminated in holing a wedge shot at the eighteenth for the clinching birdie three.
By 1987, however, the course had been altered further with the changed first hole to make space for a Practice Area being the main feature of amendments which included several new tees and necessitated a remeasuring of the course. In that year's Millicent Bowl, Jim Miller put together halves of 33 and 32 to reestablish his tenure as record holder and thus set the mark for future players to aim for.
The alterations to the first hole which led to Miller's latest tenure as course record holder was born of the Amateur Championship. By the early 1980's, Royal Dornoch had reasserted its reputation as one of the world's finest courses. In 1980, it hosted the Amateur Home International matches for the Raymond Trophy. Despite indifferent weather, the event had been successful.
This, plus the gradual improvement in communications between the Highlands and the rest of the country, prompted the Royal & Ancient Golf Club to stage the 1985 Amateur Championship at Royal Dornoch. The current format for the Championship requires a second course for the thirty six hole qualifying stage of the event and so Golspie received an invitation to take part.
Quite plainly, this was an unprecedented honour for the Golspie Club.
Preparations for and staging of this event required a substantial effort from the Club. However, what rapidly became clear in approaching this is that the professionalism of the Royal & Ancient is complete and every support was given to the Club as it approached its moment in the sun. Nevertheless, the event placed a heavy burden both on paid staff and voluntary helpers. The extent to which members offered help was remarkable, perhaps highlighted by the army of volunteers who walked the course in line abreast repairing club marks on the fairways.
This was indicative of the Club's response to the challenge and by the time the practice days arrived the course was in fine condition despite a cool Spring characterised by easterly winds. Portacabin accommodation gave the Clubhouse area the look of an encampment, but was necessary to provide extra office accommodation.
The practice days provided delightful weather for the finest array of golfing talent ever to visit Golspie. However, a strong east wind posed problems for all but the earliest starters on both days of the Championship and so the predicted massacre of Golspie did not occur, less than ten of the field returning sub¬par scores.
Despite the weather, Golspie's reputation was undoubtedly enhanced by the Amateur, the Times' describing it as ".. a jewel of a course .." and many competitors speaking highly of both the course and the cordial welcome provided by the Club.
The event was suitably marked by the establishment of a course record with Ian Stephenson's round of 64 on the first day of the Championship. Garth McGimpsey from Bangor in Northern Ireland ultimately won the Championship, but he was only one of a number of players who left a lasting impression on the memory.
Perhaps the most notable was Jose Maria Olazabal, the young Spaniard who arrived as defending champion. A tragic opening 86 in Dornoch effectively ended his defence, but his 68 on Golspie the following day went some way towards restoring pride. As Olazabal has subsequently rocketed to prominence on the European Tour, gaining Ryder Cup honours on the way, it has not been beyond the observers who populate Golspie's nineteenth hole to suggest that their own previous eighteen gave him his start!
What the Amateur Championship did for the Club was not only to project it to a wider market for visitors but also to give it the confidence to realise that it could well cope with such a scale of event. The fact that the 1987 Northern Counties Cup was held at Golspie would suggest confidence in the ability of the Club to host such events. An excellent Muir of Ord team successfully defended the Northern Counties title won at Royal Aberdeen in 1986.
The hosting of such events organised by bodies outwith the Club has been relatively rare. True, Bert Sinclair's powers of persuasion saw the 1947 North District Championship come to Golspie. JG Sutherland of Royal Dornoch won the title that year, but the Championship has yet to return to Golspie.
The Lochy in recent times. The original trees might have gone, but this remains one of the most photographed views on the course.
In terms of its projection to a wider market, the Club has, if anything, underestimated the number of visitors who have subsequently played over the links as a result of the staging of the Amateur.
In another sense, the notable increase in golfing visitors to Golspie reflects a longer trend as income from Green fees has steadily grown in recent years. During the early 1970's, the Club was part of a series of successful golf weeks run by the three clubs with support from the HIDE. It was truly fascinating to listen to Dai Rees giving clinics to participants. Max Faulkner, the former Open Champion, was another to take part in these events while David Huish established the course record by a professional at 65 shots during this era. Times change, however, and the Golf Week ceased after a number of successful years.
By 1973, it was becoming clear that the task of Treasurer had grown beyond the scope of asking the bank to keep the books. At the 1973 AGM Norman Douglas took on the Treasury, while Jim Sawers became Secretary. Sawers had succeeded George Dunn who had undertaken the Office for two years, the same span as his predecessor, Harry Hamilton. For Harry, that had been a return to Office having before been Secretary from 1957-1961. Jim Sawers carried the duties of Secretary for three years before his employment took him away from Golspie.
Norman Douglas then took on the dual post of Secretary and Treasurer at the 1976 AGM. His experience in banking was of great value to the Club as he utilised that expertise to secure funding for a number of projects from the public purse. He became a weel-kent figure at the HIDE in his pursuit of support for the Club. Norman's sudden demise in a road accident in July 1979 left a considerable vacuum in Club life, particularly as the Offices of Secretary and Treasurer are perhaps characterised by the volume of unseen work which they demand.
The Offices were again separated. Gordon Mackay, Lewis Morrison and Rod Houston each undertook the Secretaryship for a short time until the 1983 AGM when Andrew Mackintosh took over the reins. Andrew carried office for four years until his banking career took him off to Forres and the present Secretary, lain Smith, took over in 1987.
The Treasury was cared for briefly by Fred Batt until Dickie Mackay took up the challenge in September 1980. His stewardship of financial matters continued through a period of burgeoning growth until he stood down at the 1987 AGM and a teaching colleague of his, Robert Mackay, became the present Treasurer.
The 1973 AGM had also seen Jim Fraser stepping down from an eleven year stint as Captain; he was succeeded in office by Hugh Mackay who had served as Secretary for the six year period centred on the building of the present Clubhouse. By this time it had become clear to the Club that no-one should carry the increasing burden of the Captaincy for an indeterminate period. The Constitution had been amended to make it a three year term of office. Accordingly, in 1976 Hugh was followed in office by James Macpherson who, in turn, was succeeded by Rod Houston in 1979. Since then, Houston, a teacher in the local high school, and Lewis Morrison, a local GP, having alternated in Office as the Club progressed towards completing its first hundred years of existence.
