Longest-serving golf club member in the world hails from Kirkintilloch and he's aged 102
A golfer, aged 102, is officially the world's longest serving golf club member, after joining up an incredible 91 years ago.
Willie Cuthbert joined Kirkintilloch Golf Club in 1926 for ten shillings as a reward from his father James for passing his 11-plus school exams.
Nearly a century on, Willie still plays with the same swing and enthusiasm that he had as a boy and still uses a rare handmade driver he bought for one guinea before World War Two.
