PAT BARRON

Suddenly yesterday Pat Barron the original owner and man behind the idea to create Strathmore Golf Centre out of his farm died. I first met him when I went down to see what he was planning. We jumped into his Land Rover and he took me round the fields to see where the holes were going to be. Dawn and I joined as members 21 & 22 and love what he started in 1994. We played Leitfie, the 9 hole course for a season whilst the 18 hole Rannaleroch course bedded in and opened in 1995. He was a real gentleman and a character, much respected and will be sorely missed by his family.
