For FGCW, this comes in the form of the luxury cars that meet you at the airport and bring you to the house or the pavilion, a chauffeur service that escorts you to any of the courses, formal evening dinners, which incorporate the greatest treasures Scotland has to offer. A very special atmosphere of golf tradition, the quality of the company, the bagpipes playing outside the window, some wonderful art, all supported by our host and G.M., Aubyn Stewart - Wilson. One of our Board members, Dr John Reynolds, has been very instrumental in helping to model the membership on some of the finest private clubs in America. The idea and concept was sound, but it was the soft issues, which could have seen it fail. Many of our members belong to the world's premier clubs.
Human nature is such that people naturally compare things or copy great ideas.
From the outset, individuals who were associated with some of the world's most famous and respected private golf clubs were key. To name but a few, individuals such as John Arthur, Neil Hobday and Michael Yamaki brought much to the table. They know how to do things, the ways to create rules, the need for rules.
