So Brora was looking for financial support because it was struggling, and that was around about the time it bought the land the course sits on ? Hmmm...

Niall,
To what level are you aware of the sequence of events from March 2020 onward at Brora? The global call for support was swift and aggressive. It seems that support was so large that the club turned from dire straights rather quickly.

You are correct to detect a degree of cynicism in my post and I suspect you correctly surmised I did not know of the exact timings of events at Brora when I posted, however, from the articles that you and Tony have provided links to I note the club went from supposedly a position of being about to fold to buying the course in under 12 months. And that's while the effects of the pandemic was still playing out. I have to say my cynicism remains but good luck to them.
As for the hundreds of other clubs in Scotland that weren't as well off as Brora to start with but who still managed to get through COVID without the benefit of a world wide fundraising campaign, hats off to them.
