The annual event has been held each year for the past 37 years paying homage to the club’s rich history and proud tradition.
The day kicked off with a mixed competition, where the President was led to the first tee by a line of bagpipers.
The celebrations then included a Scottish lunch, bagpipers wearing kilts, dinner and entertainment by band Mood Swing.
McLeod Country Golf Club President Di Paez said a field of 180 players took part in the day’s festivities with a few of the original founders attending the celebrations.
“The Club had to obtain permission from the McLeod clan in Scotland to use their name and tartan, and it was this feat, together with the large number of Scottish members, which saw the start of Scotsman’s Day so many years ago,” she said.
“Scotsman’s Day is an annual event on the McLeod calendar and one the members and fellows really enjoy, dressing up and enjoying the festivities on offer.”
McLeod Country Golf Club sits on land purchased for $1 in 1968 and was founded by a group of women led by Kathleen Atherton and Hilda Reid who wanted to be able to play golf on a Saturday.
Today both women and men make up the 1000-plus membership enjoying strong camaraderie and fellowship as well as a challenging game of golf on the 18-hole course.
