Stan Russell will be known to many members. He joined Blackford in 2002 and retired in 2020. Along the way he was The Matchplay Champion in 2004 & 2006.
In September 2022, he reached the great age of 90 years young and at the annual prize-giving dinner of Bruntsfield Links Golfing Society on November 12, he was awarded a special ‘Age Is No Barrier’ Trophy.
Stan, of course couldn’t let the moment pass without some humour and so he dropped the trophy while the Bruntsfield Captain, George Reid was making the presentation. Thankfully, the plush carpet and the fact that the trophy is wooden, ensured that no damage was done.
