The first leg of the match against Nairn was played at
Nairn GC on the 6th June. The course was in immaculate
condition with the 'gentle' breeze adding to a challenging
day.
Nairn hosted the KGS wonderfully well and the KGS team
enjoyed a good day, apart from the result. Some of the
matches we tight affairs with some matches not being decided
until the back nine..
The Nairn team showed the KGS how to play golf on their
magnificent course in a breeze.
