Centenary Book - Course of a Century

In 1996 the club celebrated its centenary year and as part of the celebrations a book was written to give members and visitors an insight to golf at Dufftown over the previous 100 years. The book was researched and written by one of our longstanding and very active members of the club, Ivan Montgomery. Credit for the information in the pages that follow go to Ivan along with our thanks.

This book is dedicated to all those who have shared our fairways over the century.

Its record is an acknowledgement to every member past and present, and to our many friends, without whose selfless dedication the enjoyment of the game of golf would not have been possible at Dufftown.
