SUCCESS FOR BLAIRGOWRIE LADIES

We are pleased to report some success for Blairgowrie Ladies in recent competitions.

P & K Ladies County Golfers meeting at Muckhart on April 18th
Gillian Wallace came 2nd in the Scratch section  of the Nell Scott Quaich 1st Round with an 88.

Midland Vets Meeting at Stirling on April 25th
Sandy Bushby won the  Handicap Division  of the Allan Cup with a 76.

At both meetings conditions were extremely tough resulting in a REDUCTION ONLY  status for the competitions (to the relief of many!)

Well done Ladies!

HELP!

Moira Stewart  has lost her 8 iron.  Moira was playing on the Wee Course on Saturday, April 20th,  and she thinks she mis-placed her club at the side of a green around  mid-afternoon.  Did anyone find it  and put it in their golf bag, meaning to hand it in to the Office?  Please advise the Office if you have it and they will pass on the message to Moira.

MATCH RESULT

Blairgowrie  played Forfar today in the first of our  2013 Matches.....sad to report we lost 3 - 1, but  most Matches were close, some going to the last putt on the 18th.

LADIES VS THE SENIOR GENTLEMEN

Senior's Captain Ian MacPherson and Ladies' Captain Vike Brown

A bitterly cold but sunny day provided the backdrop for the annual match between the Ladies and Blairgowrie Senior Men today. As holders of the Columbine Trophy the Ladies selected a strong team, flying in their lowest handicap player from South Africa. Despite a valiant effort with many matches going to the 18th green the Ladies narrowly failed to retain the trophy. As someone commented after the match "McPherson stimulated his troops with his lunchtime speech, sprinkling it with references to the aphrodisiac powers of the Columbine flower - the Ladies were exhausted before a ball was struck". The non-playing Lady Captain Vike Brown gave a very gracious closing speech thanking Margaret Hunter for leading the team, Ian McPherson for organising the match and the catering team for providing an excellent meal before presenting the Trophy to the Senior's Convenor.     

 

MAIL ON SUNDAY RESULT

Pleased to report that despite playing in heavy snow, Blairgowrie managed to beat Glenisla 4-1 in their Mail on Sunday match played on Rosemount today. Well done to Mary Hope, Maureen Brass, Barbara Cuthbert, Louise Whitehead and Sandy Bushby.
