Peter Emsley getting the Dougie Macfarlane award in 2012. This is for outstanding contribution of work & service for MBGC & Arran golf.
Machrie is going to really miss Peter
& we all owe him a huge debt of gratitude in terms of what he did for this Club .

I am sure many of you have fond memories of Peter on the golf course, as a colleague on the committee and as a friend. He always had time for a chat and a word of encouragement. He was a past Captain and committee member and for many years was the guiding light of Machrie Bay Golf Club. He was the only member to be awarded honorary membership, which reflected the esteem in which he was held.

Captain Campbell Laing said…” I knew Peter for nearly 30 years and worked with him on Pirnmill Improvements Association and on the Golf Club Committee.
He was always a thorough gentleman and you could
guarantee that if he was involved in anything he would give 100%. “

We all send our condolences to Paul and the family,

" Great little 9 hole course with very friendly members."
