The Nairn Golf Club is going to stage the prestigious Curtis Cup on June 8-10, with players from the Great Britain & Ireland appreciating the officials of the tournament for making perfect arrangements for the event.

Club officials said that they were asked to speed up the preparations before the trial session for the Cup. This is why, they said, the officials put their best foot forward, making things happen effectively.
Sources said that, keeping in view the prestige of the Curtis Cup, the Club management had to do some renovation work.
Andy Burgess, who is the Club’s Marketing Convener, said that the team trial for the Cup provided opportunity for the players to put their skills to the test, but the Club officials played their part.
The Cup is set to pit the best players the United States against the Great Britain & Ireland. According to the stats, the United States has maintained its ascendency over its rivals.
The US won the last seven editions in a row, leaving the Great Britain & Ireland struggling to make a comeback.
Burgess said that the course condition is satisfactory and all the players enjoyed playing this week. “It was a wonderful weekend with all the players showing off their formidable skills,” he added.
Burgess told that the Club’s management knew that staging the Curtis Cup would require plenty of work, and this is why, they began preparations over three years back.
“We started preparing for the Curtis Cup over three years ago. Since then a lot of work has been done on the course including the revetting of 60% of the bunkers. This was the first time a lot of the players had seen the course with these improvements, and
without exception the feedback has been very positive,” he said.
