On Friday, we hosted the Alexander McKellar Society who were visiting from Sweden, as they celebrated their 40th anniversary. As avid golfers, they chose to name themselves after Alexander McKellar, the first known fanatical golfer!

If you haven’t heard of the infamous Alexander McKellar, the so called ‘Cock of the Green’ as named by his wife, he was the first documented golf ‘maniac’ who played the original Bruntsfield Links course back in 1800.

Our Bistro nights are proving to be extremely popular, with different cuisines from around the world being served each night!

Thank you to our lovely members who helped with our divot morning yesterday, it was very much appreciated!

Congratulations to Susan Woodhouse from East Kilbride, our 2026 winner of the Bruntsfield Links Golfing Society Woman’s Scratch Open. Susan, who won the 2025 Scottish Women’s Amateur Championship, won yesterday against 41 other competitors with a one over par in total, in conditions that were sometimes testing. Thank you to our sponsor, Total Golf Studios, and BLGS member, Richard Dixon.

Golf Operations Supervisor, Megan Scott, attended the Scottish Golf ‘Join The Drive’ Women’s Leadership Summit, on Thursday, held in the second year of their Woman and Girls Strategy 2025-2035.

She joined 80 club officials, coaches, golf influencers and golf industry figures to meet and listen to keynote speakers and discuss, debate and share ideas on how stakeholders in the game can build on a hugely positive year.

I’m sure Megan came away with lots of new leadership knowledge and ideas that she can continue to implement at Bruntsfield!

What a fantastic afternoon for our Professionals Day. With a delicious looking BBQ at the ready and some cold drinks in the bar = happy golfers all round! ⛳️
