SAXONE GOLF CLUB - County numbers drop to 61 clubs with demise of Kilmarnock based club

The number of member clubs affiliated to The Ayrshire Golf Association has been reduced by one to 61, following the news that the Saxone Golf Club will no longer be functioning as a club.

The Kilmarnock based club, whose origins stem from the Saxone shoe firm whose manufacturing premises were located in the town, have struggled to attract membership in recent times and indeed the club Secretary cited the lack of numbers as the reason for the club discontinuing to function as a golf club.

It is regrettable that one of The Association's member clubs has had to make the difficult decision to discontinue, but the best wishes of all at The Association is extended to the former Saxone members, who will hopefully continue their association with Ayrshire golf through other local clubs.
