The group picked up prizes of a Shot Scope GPS watch, a Shot Scope range finder, Callaway Chrome Soft golf balls and golf umbrellas and had the opportunity to hear about the plans for Eastwood Estate.
Retired engineer David Gowans was delighted to win the GPS watch. He said: “I’ve been trying to play golf for over forty years. This may be the best prize I have won for golf!”
Keen sportsman Duncan Conway, the lucky winner of the laser range finder, recently moved back to Scotland. “I have never had the time to get involved with a club but having moved back to Glasgow, I’m looking to join a new course and start playing competitively and perfect my swing.
“Eastwood’s 12-hole offering sounds right up my street. I often find 12 holes to be the perfect number before poor shots and frustration creep in, so I am looking forward to seeing what it has to offer.”
Seasoned player Per Oszadlik is currently a member of Cathcart Castle golf club. “At 74, I am lucky to still be very active and enjoying my golf. Delighted to be the winner of an Eastwood Estate golf umbrella as I have not won anything for a while.”
Brenda Conway took up golf 12 years ago and has continued to love the game. “I have made many good friends through it. It offers great exercise and plenty of fresh air, along with fantastic scenery – it’s a real tonic.”
Scotland is the spiritual and historic home of golf, so it’s entirely fitting that a characterful new 12-hole golf course will be Eastwood Estate’s signature attraction, carefully curated from the fairways and greens of the much-loved Eastwood Golf Club. Eastwood Estate is a hugely exciting development project aiming to provide golf facilities for a wider audience, a Woodland Retreat holistic oasis, a new clubhouse and a small residential development.
Eastwood Estate owner Colin Whitelaw said: “We are delighted with the interest shown in Eastwood, it’s terrific that so many East Renfrewshire residents entered this competition and now to hear first-hand their enthusiasm for what we are trying to provide is very gratifying.”
The prize draw competition was run via the Eastwood Estate website, through which entrants supplied their name and email address for a chance to win one of the prizes. The 17 winners were chosen randomly from over 280 entrants.

David Gowans, Duncan Conway, Chris McCormick, Simon Costello, James Duncan, Crawford Rae, Richard Campbell, Finlay Macdonald, Gillian Kincaid, Lindsay Stevenson, Stephen Brooks, Brenda Conway, Ian Ramsay, James Scott, Per Oszadlik, Stewart Campbell, Andrew Stoddart
