Cowglen Golf Club

Each year, the Club has the opportunity to present the Jack Murray Trophy to a member, or members, who have made a significant contribution to the Club or brought recognition to it throughout the year.

This can be through their playing or representative achievements, or through their involvement and contribution in other areas of our sport. It is a discretionary award decided upon by the Council, and this year’s decision was unanimous.

We are delighted to announce that the winner of the 2026 Jack Murray Trophy is Calum Morrison.

Calum, our current Junior Champion having retained his title this year following his victory in 2025, has represented the Club across the country throughout 2026.

Among his many highlights were winning the Glasgow Boys Strokeplay and finishing runner-up in the West of Scotland Boys Championship as well a scoring the lowest gross score in our own Campbell McMillan Trophy.

He also qualified for the match-play stages of the Scottish Boys Championship, broke through to play for the Brand Putter team, and reached the final of the Men’s Club Championship, eventually losing on the 35th hole.

We are announcing the award a little earlier than usual for a very good reason. Calum has now headed stateside to take up his golf scholarship at Bellevue University, Nebraska, where he will join the University Golf Team.

We look forward to following his progress and hearing all about this exciting new chapter in his golfing life.

In addition to the trophy, we have given Calum some Cowglen-branded items, ensuring that he will always have a little piece of Cowglen with him and can help to “spread the word” about our wonderful course.

We will have the opportunity to formally present the trophy to Calum’s family at the Club Prizegiving in November.

I hope you will all agree that this is a thoroughly well-deserved award for a young man who is a credit to both his family and our Golf Club.

Congratulations, Calum, and best wishes for the exciting journey ahead.

🏌️🏌️‍♀️2026 Junior Open 🏌️‍♀️🏌️
We held our annual Junior Open yesterday, we hosted 32 players.
There was some great golf played in very blustery and sometimes wet conditions.
The winner was Jayden Kinnear from Cathcart Castle GC who had an incredible net 63 (75 -12) just pipping Murray Harkess from Whitecraigs GC by one shot (85 -21)
Will Sutherland had the best scratch score of 74.
Congratulations to all prize winners and thank you to all players for supporting our event.
We look forward to welcoming you back again next year.

After the summer break it's the turn of one of our most popular acts, "Just John and Paul", who will entertain us with their excellent tribute to the songs of Lennon & McCartney and The Beatles on Saturday 5th September.

If you've seen this act before you will know you won't want to miss out. If you haven't seen them then we can promise you a real treat.

Still priced at only £15, tickets are now on sale from behind the bar and, if you would like to dine with us beforehand, please indicate this when you book your tickets for the show.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Congratulations 👏👏 to Calum Morrison who retained his junior championship title today.
2 up after the first 18 , Calum managed to win the match on the 31st hole.
Congratulations to Max on making the final. The match between the two team mates was played in great spirit. 👍 ⛳🏌️‍♂️🏆

The 36 hole final of our Junior Championship takes place today.
All the best to Calum Morrison playing in his 3rd consecutive final and trying to make it back to back wins and also to Max McPhee, our junior captain playing in his first final.

Another fantastic performance from our current junior champion Calum Morrison. After a narrow loss in the final of the Club Championship on Sunday, Calum finished 2nd in the West of Scotland Boys Stroke Play Championship with a 7 birdie ( yes 7 !) round of 72. Unfortunately Calum isn't able to take his place in the match play as he prepares to head to of to University in the US.

Congratulations 👏👏 to our 2026 Club Champions Duncan McNab and Fiona Cameron.
In an incredibly tight match in which Callum eagled the 14th and won 15 to reduce Duncan's 3 hole advantage to just one with 3 to play of the 36 hole final, Duncan managed to win on the 17th 2&1 for his first Championship win.
Fiona won 3 &3 against last year's champion Denise Parr to win her 2nd Championship. 🏆
The 36 hole junior championship final between Callum Morrison and Max McPhee is scheduled to take place this Tuesday.

It was a true honour and privilege to welcome all the athletes, their families, volunteers, and supporters of this magnificent event to our club. We were delighted to play a part in such an inspiring event and to witness the incredible spirit, determination, and sportsmanship that the Special Olympics represents.
