LADIES CAPTAIN'S FAREWELL AND THANKS

Another year is over and another chapter is finished as Ladies Captain - where has the time gone !  It has been a pleasure to be your captain and I shall look back fondly on all the memories we have shared together.

We played on Rosemount in glorious, sunny weather.  There was a fun format of teams of three with the best 2 of 3 stableford scores to count, plus the yellow ball competition which ran alongside it.  I bet you never look at a yellow ball the same way again !!

The Ladies on the Wee Course had an individual stableford with spot prizes.

Here are the results from today:

Rosemount

Winners - Fiona Johnston & Pauline Hill & Freda Erskine (84 pts) -  (Prize - snood and Prosecco);  Runners-up - Jacqui Landsburgh, Sheila Bruce & Amanda Cameron (76 pts) - (Prize - Snood)

Yellow Ball Team Winners - Margaret Hunter & Denise Ginley & Jo Menzies (35 pts) - (Prize - Prosecco and yellow ball !)

Wee Course

Nearest the Pin in 2 on 1st Hole - Morag Johnston (Prize - Lindor Chocolates)

Nearest the Pin in 2 on 9th Hole - Heather Welsh (Prize - Lindor Chocolates)

Winner -  Best Individual Stableford - Heather Welsh (23 pts on c/b) - (Prize - snood and Prosecco); Runner-up - Elizabeth Tosh (23 pts) - (Prize - snood)

** For those of you who have not received your prizes, Heather Dawson will be in touch with you **

Thank you so much for the lovely gift of red wine goblets which are very much appreciated !

There has been a lot of effort put into the fundraising and I am delighted to announce that, with the help from the Ladies Committee and you all, we have raised an incredible £9,411.43 for Alzheimer Scotland.  I am overwhelmed and touched by your support and generosity.

It is now time to hand over to Heather Dawson, the 59th Ladies Captain and her Vice Captain, Louise Luke.  I wish Heather, Louise and Committee Members Marion, Morna and Fiona my very best wishes for the coming year.

Cheers everyone !

WINTER LEAGUE FRIENDLY AWAY TO ANSTRUTHER - Sunday, 5th October

This was the first of our Winter League Friendly matches.  It was also the first time that some of the ladies had played the Anstruther course.  We played 2 loops of the 9 hole course in the 4BBB format.

Following Storm Amy which had closed lots of golf courses, including Anstruther, we were relieved to find ourselves playing in the sunshine with no rain whatsoever, albeit in very windy conditions.  The course itself was a real challenge for most, especially in the windy conditions and the greens were a test too!

Post golf we enjoyed tasty soup and sandwiches and talked about our shots on various holes including the notorious "rockies" hole !

The home team were triumphant with a 3-0 win and despite the loss for the Blairgowrie ladies, we all really enjoyed our time there.  Everyone at Anstruther were friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Here are some photos from the day......

Thank you to Heather Dawson, Pauline Hill, Eileen Brown, Maggie Marshall (Team Captain), Shirley Lewis and Teresa Lynch for giving up their time to represent the club.
