In 1908 at a meeting chaired by Mr William Lawson it was agreed that the costs of repair would be uneconomic and it was proposed that a new green be laid, again leased from Lord Rosebery, at an estimated construction cost of £350. The Club had a balance of £50 and when various fund-raising efforts fell short of the required total Mr Lawson generously advanced the balance. It was entirely appropriate that Mrs Lawson was invited to open the new Green on its present site in 1910. The Green now forms part of the Estate of Lord Rosebery’s grandson, Lord Dalmeny but the rent is considerably higher than 5p per year!

One of the early Presidents was Councillor Horsburgh who owned two Smiddies, one in Johnsburn Road and one in the village. Horsburgh invented metal shafts for golf clubs. Unfortunately, his patent was only for two years and since he encountered strong opposition from the Royal and Ancient at St. Andrews he let it lapse. Thus, it was left to America to get the credit for introducing this revolutionary club! A set of commemorative bowls presented to Mr Horsburgh is displayed in the trophy cabinet in the Club. He was quite a sportsman and also became a Curling International.

Through the years a number of Club Members have earned International Honours. On the Outdoor Green, J.Forrest, Laurie McMorran, W.Dyett and John Summers won the National and British Isles fours. John played in the 1980 World Cup in Australia and until recently was the Manager of the Scottish Indoor Team. Both Willie Dyett and John Summers were also capped Indoors as was Laurie McMorran, David Beveridge and G. Melrose. Finally, one must not forget our latest International, Ron Smith who, in 2003, was capped by Scotland in the British Championships for the Visually impaired.
