The history of Earlston Golf Club, founded in 1906, featured in the last blog post HERE. Although its course never reopened after the Second World War, the Club itself continued playing on other courses.
But
in November 2000, the club launched a new initiative to pursue the
purchase of land to build a course on the moon and called for Moon
Course Associate Members - as described on its web site HERE.
"The holes on
the Earlston Golf
Club are named to keep the authenticity of the course location
whilst ensuring that the history and
traditions of the
Club are echoed in the Course.
There are 18 Seas on the surface
of the Moon, each of which has a
Latin name which
has been translated and given a Scottish Borders flavour to reflect the
origins of the Club."
"As a result, the Club has
featured in newspapers and magazines, on TV and on the web world-wide.
It featured in Robert Duncan's 2003
Canadian TV
documentary, "Golf - The Ridiculous Obsession".
There are now has around 70 local members who play in competitions throughout the Scottish Borders and the Club is expanding its presence around the world with Moon Course Associate Members in the USA, Canada and Australia.
Preliminary
negotiations have been opened with NASA, RKA and ESA, the US, Russian
and European Space Agencies
respectively, to
provide transport to the course. The Russians have thus far provided the
cheapest offer".
A First for Earlston!
