If you spotted a sudden, aggressively rosy bloom across the Struie course this August, fret not—the gorse hasn't mutated. It was the annual Pinky Col Invitational at Royal Dornoch, a gloriously loud charity tourney where players, caddies, and even local dogs wear as much hot pink as dignity allows.

Behind the eye-straining knitwear is a serious heart of gold, raising thousands of pounds for Sutherland causes. The community spirit was high, with the club celebrating a banner era since its late-2024 clubhouse opening. Even our own [[page-3191753|Dornoch Ghost Tour]] guides got in on the act, swapping their eerie attire for vibrant pink to march the links.

As Royal Dornoch gears up for the 2028 Curtis Cup, we at the Royal Dornoch Gondola Company are already drawing up plans for custom magenta gondola cabins. Imagine the sight: a fleet of pink-clad golfers soaring gracefully over the A9, avoiding the tractor queues in matching high-flying style. Follow the saga as we prepare to elevate Highland charity to new heights!
