Graham Matheson, third from left in overalls with hands in pockets. He was on the greens staff at the time.

I know Robert Paterson is head greenkeeper at Royal Aberdeen and I think Graham Mathieson is head greenkeeper at I think Wentworth surely testament to the great tradition of Dornoch greenkeepers being thought so highly of around the world Comment left on 17 June 2016 at 20:30 by Dan Murray

The guy third from the left is definitely Graham Matheson, he was my Mom's cousin and I would recognise that incredible man anywhere Comment left on 19 March 2024 at 23:37 by stuart jenkins
