The Heriot's FP Golf Club has celebrated the season successes at its annual dinner held at Goldenacre, hosted by captain Grahame Clarke (1983).  

We were superbly entertained by our main guest, former football referee and lawyer, Willie Young.  The audience were in constant laughter.  He was ably supported by Chris Donkin (Captain of Braids Utd), who replied on behalf of the guests, recalling fond memories of his teaching practice at Heriot's in 1981.  Donald Gray (1983) provided the toast to the guests, suitably making joyful fun of our kindred club guests.  Our resident prize and raffle compere, Ian Thomson (1979), provided his usual wit and good humour.  

Both as part of the club and as individuals Herioter's continue to have great successes.  Innes Christie (1983) has completed a career hattrick of winning club championships at Junior, Men’s and this year at Senior level by winning the Mortonhall Seniors.  Our young bucks of Scott Dickson, Steven Sinclair, Sam Hall, Fraser Christie, Elliot Innes and Ben Alexander were triumphant in winning the prestigious Queen Elizabeth Trophy (QE), defeating Glasgow High in the final at Royal Burgess GC.

Dave Campbell (1983), picked up a bundle of club prizes but also won the Lothian Seniors Championship. A terrific performance by Sam Hall saw him win the prestigious Lothians Championship, the Heriot Club Championship, as well as being a member of the winning QE team.

A special mention also to elder statesman and former school PE teacher Stewart Barnes, winning both the 'B' Championship and Ronnie Middleton Trophy.  Still proving that age is no barrier to winning.

The Captain's Prize was awarded jointly to Graham Ewart, our retiring Honorary President, for his services to the club and wider Scottish golf over the past 70-years, and to Sam Hall for his tremendous achievements on the golf course.
