1980

A landmark year as Royal Dornoch hosts The R&A Home Internationals for the first time, with England emerging victorious. 

It is a source of immense pride for the golf club. The event dates to 1932 at Troon and other previous Scottish hosts have included Prestwick, Muirfield, Turnberry, Carnoustie and Gullane. 

The calibre of golfer taking to the links is impressive, with Irish duo Ronan Rafferty and Philip Walton among those going on to make their mark in the professional ranks.
