MORE than 80 golfers have taken part in a special Father's Day golf competition at Trump Turnberry.
The event, in partnership with the Herald and Sunday Herald, saw teams of fathers and sons - both young and old - battle around the Ayrshire resort's Championship Kintyre course.
The teams experienced mixed weather as they made their way through the par-72 course on the rugged Ayshire coastline, enjoying impressive views over the Irish Sea to the Isle of Arran.
Participants, who paid £89 per team of two to take part, were treated to tea, coffee and bacon rolls on arrival.
They also received a bucket of balls to warm up with at the Turnberry Performance Academy before teeing off.
The winners - who have yet to be revealed - will also receive a selection of prizes.
A spokeswoman for Turnberry said the event was an "enjoyable and fun afternoon", which allowed fathers and sons to spend some quality time together on the golf course.
The Kintyre Course, which sits alongside the Ailsa course, is due to be rebuilt as part of a £250 million makeover of Turnberry courtesy of billionaire tycoon Donald Trump, who bought the resort early last year.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
