Golf clubs

Stromness Golf Club The original course did not include the park where the first and second holes are.The fifth was over a deep quarry to a green on the site of the battery.The sixth was beyond the road behind the present sixth and seventh in the meadow where the direction post is situated. Adequate bunkering was included in the original plan but was ignored. The course was officially opened by Dr McNeish, a visitor, by driving off the first ball (above). He presented the club with the Doctor's Shelter at the tenth tee.The original wooden clubhouse was re-erected inside the barn, with the dome superimposed on the roof.This original clubhouse was extended in 1963 to the stable and a bar was introduced in the larger lounge - this was all done by voluntary labour.
