The curator of a Braid Hills golf history gallery has appealed to The Edinburgh Reporter for assistance that might augment a project particularly popular with overseas visitors to the course.
Occupying an alcove in a main clubhouse room used by the official starter, the gallery features a range of photographs, information and some memorabilia associated with golf on the Braids.
John Menzies, starter at the No 1 course, whose brainchild the gallery is, hopes to elicit information on two key questions.
- What date and year did the Braids No.2 course officially close?
- What date and year was Sunday golf officially sanctioned at the Braid Hills?
John says: “I’ve drawn a blank so far. Any information on either date would allow me to progress with my Braid Hills history gallery as I have more material to display.”
Anyone able to assist should e-mail JohnMenzies@edinburghleisure.co.uk or the Edinburgh Reporter’s billlothian1008@gmail.com
