Niddry Castle Golf club played host to the latest SDGP event.  Disabled golfers from all over Scotland met at Niddry Castle for a game of golf in the wonderful sunshine. 

The course playing around the castle, which is being restored, has some interesting and tricky holes ready to catch the over ambitious or the fool hardy .  Event organiser Stevie Cunningham said “We couldn’t have wished for better weather.  The course is in wonderful condition and the greens were superb, it is a credit to the members and Green staff of Niddry Castle.”

Golfer’s traveling from the West of Scotland met up to travel using the Towpath Trust minibus.   The Trust very kindly provides a much used and valued mini bus service to the SDGP.  The SDGP would like to express their appreciation and thanks to everyone at Niddry Castle Golf Club for their superb golf course and hospitality.
