Golfing century
Brodick Golf Club is 100 years old this year. In 1897, the Brodick Hall Company Ltd began the course after setting up a committee to canvas for members. They leased a few fields in Mayish and had a small clubhouse of sorts. About 1912, the club appears to have lapsed for a short spell and, in 1913, Arran Estates set it up again. It set aside 40 acres in what is almost the present course – we say present because of the significant changes last year.
