Course of a Century 1896-1996
Foreword
Dufftown was my home in my early years, where I received my education and first discovered golf, leading me to later become President of The Scottish Golf Union. One of my earliest memories as a pupil at Mortlach School was the emphasis by the late headmaster, George J Jamieson on the school motto, NIHIL VIRTUTE ARDUUM— nothing is beyond hard work, or more loosely translated, nothing but honour to the industrious.
This adage could well be applied to both the founding fathers and the post-war resurrectionists of Dufftown Golf Club. Both groups showed a foresight which has been justified by the Club attaining a century as well as the extending of the course to a full eighteen holes.
The enthusiasm, energy and guidance of your Club Captain and Officials I believe will sustain and advance your success into your next hundred years.
Remember, NIHIL VIRTUTE ARDUUM.
Best Wishes
President, Scottish Golf Union
