Nairn Dunbar hosts one-armed elite

THE world one-armed golf championship is to be played at Nairn Dunbar from 7 to 11 June. The tournament has never before been staged in the Highlands and is expected to draw members of the Society of One-Armed Golfers from the Europe, America, Australia, South Africa, Indonesia and the UK. Two stroke-play qualifying rounds will produce 16 qualifiers for the match-play stages.

The Society was founded in Glasgow in 1932 when members were primarily war victims but now include polio, thalidomide, motor accident and industrial accident victims.
