Sinclair’s departure was revealed to Nairn members in a joint-announcement by club captain Ali Asher and board chair Robert Beattie.

“It is with regret that the board of Nairn Golf Club announce the resignation of our CEO Colin Sinclair,” they stated.

“Colin has accepted the role of the Secretary at the Royal St George’s Golf Club in Kent. He will leave proud of what he has achieved here and with our best wishes for the future.

“We would like to thank Colin for his service to the club, which was particularly challenging during Covid.

“The board will now set about the task of finding Colin’s replacement.”

Sinclair, who was born in Inverness, took up his current post in May 2019 after a lengthy spell as the head PGA professional at Carnoustie Links.
