2000

American President Bill Clinton is royally welcomed to Royal Dornoch. A keen golfer, he wanted to add the Championship Course to his list. 

After their round, pro Andrew Skinner confirms that President Clinton has been persuaded by the Junior Convenor to hand out prizes to the youngsters.

Andrew, pictured with Maurice Smith, says: “His advisors were saying they didn’t have time but Bill said he’d do it. So a former American president duly presented these primary school kids with their prizes. He was a class act.”
