Welcome

O n behalf of The Royal With the arrival of the Covid-19 worldwide pandemic, 2020 was a year like no other. The resulting restrictions severely curtailed Club events and forced both Clubhouse and course to close for long periods. Despite this we have been able to compile a somewhat reduced historical record of the year and I would like to thank all of our contributors and advertisers. Special mention must go to Tracey Preshaw (House Manager) who once again designed and edited the publication. HuwWorthington Marketing and Communications Convenor Belfast Golf Club it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the sixth annual edition of The Craigavad.
