| 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.
