FROM THE MATCH SECRETARY

A warm welcome ladies, to what I hope will be a good 2016 golf season for all.  As Match Secretary I wish to inform you that Blairgowrie Ladies have been accepted into the Perthshire Handicap League, which means an additional 7 matches have been added to our calendar. Within the league we have 4 Home Matches and 3 Away.  Information regarding the format will be on display in the Ladies Locker Room alongside the fixtures, early in February.

I wish to encourage all ladies to put their names down, irrespective of handicap as the idea of the matches is to encourage more ladies to play at venues we may not have previously visited.  Please note the Handicap League will be played in the evenings, normally between 5.30 - 6.00pm.

Fixtures for the Friendly Matches will also be displayed in early February, but this year only 5 games at a time will be posted on the board.  Over the years, players have put their names down for the whole year and when it has come to selection time, names have been scored out and I have become aware that other potential players have been discouraged from putting their names down due to the lengthy list already on display.  This method will be tried for this year to see if we can have a larger group of players representing the club.
