BRUNSTON CASTLE - members info now available on line

Congratulations to Morton Kyle , Match Secretary at Brunston Castle for his efforts to provide rapid up to date info on line for his members, with his recently published Blog at www.brunstongolf.blogspot.com .

The Blog provides competition result information with links to the Club website, SGU website and a club handicaps facility.

The Blog appears to be an effective and simple way to provide the kind of info that the members look for. Clubs without their own website (and even those with) may benefit from a look at Morton's Blog, which could prove to be a worthwhile model for others to follow.

Well done again Morton.
