BLAIRGOWRIE LADIES V PANMURE LADIES 25/08/2014

Today, Panmure Ladies visited Blairgowrie for our annual friendly match. Played over Rosemount the two teams were blessed with clear skies but alas, unseasonably cool conditions. The match ended in an amicable draw and the ladies warmed up with an excellent meal and chat in the dinning room afterward. Many thanks go to the team: Noreen Fordyce (Captain), Muriel Rae, Barbara Lyburn, Heather Dawson, Diane Wallace, Jan Reekie, Christina Cleeton and Meriel Walker for representing our club.

This was our final match of the season and I would like to thank all the ladies who put their names down to play in these friendly games. Your participation and willingness to give up your time is greatly appreciated!

 Wishing you all good golf!

PLEASE DON'T LET YOUR HANDICAP LAPSE

Ladies - it's that time of year again.  In order for your CONGU handicap to remain active you must have returned at least three qualifying scores each year.  Those not meeting the minimum number of scores will be identified with an "i" (inactive) which will appear on their CONGU certificate and handicap lists. Qualifying scores of less than three will not be carried forward to the next year. The "i" will be removed from the player's handicap as soon as three qualifying scores have been returned.
If you are unable to play in sufficient Medals and Stablefords you can use the Supplementary Scores System in order to achieve this.  This is explained below.

Supplementary Scores System
In order to enter a supplementary card you need to play 18 holes with a member who can mark your card....your marker must have a current valid handicap.  Hand in your completed and signed card, clearly marked "For Handicap"  to Reception. With supplementary cards, your handicap may go up or down. If in doubt, play off the lower handicap ALWAYS.

A full explanation about CONGU handicaps  can be found in the CONGU Handbook which is in the Locker Room.

If you need someone to mark a card please phone the Lady Captain, Margaret Hunter, or any member of the Committee,  and a marker will be arranged for you.

Margaret Kerr
Competitions Secretary

VARIOUS

Our Scratch Team rounded off the 2014 season with a 3-2 win against Strathmore on Monday 28th July, at Strathmore.  The Team  has won five matches out of six, and is still in with a chance of winning the Scratch League Trophy.....it depends on how other results go.  Whatever happens, thanks must go to our two Scratch League Leaders, Heather Anderson and  Gillian Wallace.   And thanks to all ladies who played in the Scratch League this year.

LADIES TIMES AUGUST 8th

You may have noticed that the Ladies tee times for August 8th begin at 10.03am.  This is due to Lansdowne being closed to Members for the PGA Professional Championship.  The change of time was agreed with the Club last year, in order to allow as many members  as possible the opportunity to  have a game.
