2nd Bronwen Godley 61 - 08 = 53
3rd Mary Miller 60 - 06 = 54
Due to heavy rain, those of us who had intended to play in the Winter League, decided that a chat over coffee, plus a chocolate or two sounded a better idea than getting wet. If you are free next Friday,30thDecember, we have the Stanley Clarke and Winter League on Lansdownefor anyone wishing to play, just enter your name on line and comealong.
22 ladies had a break from writing Christmas cards and wrapping presents and played 12 holes on Lansdowne, on a damp and misty morning,but it wasn’t cold, in fact we played from winter tees to full greens.

Funeral Arrangements for Mrs Hilda Smith
There will be a Funeral Service at Dundee Crematorium on Tuesday December 20th at 11 a.m. to which all relatives and friends are respectively invited.
It is with regret that we have to announce the death of Margaret Bryce. She was a keen golfer but latterly came to Blairgowrie to play bridge every Tuesday with the ladies. She will be missed by all who knew her. Details of her service will be available later.
The Lady Captain Meriel Walker is very sad to report the death of Hilda Smith. Hilda was the mother of Hilary Inglis and mother-in-law to the new Club Vice Captain Peter Inglis. Hilda was a great supporter of Blairgowrie Club well into her nineties playing both golf and bridge. She will be missed. Service details will be posted as soon as they are known. Hilda is pictured below playing in the 2012 Lady Captain's Day with her daughter Hilary :
The Ladies gathered at Blairgowrie golf Club for their annual Christmas Lunch. Despite the slightly warmer rainy weather there was a festive feeling in the clubhouse. Ladies were greeted by Captain Meriel Walker and were then served a drink by Angie and her team to get the party started.

At 12:30 everyone was called into the dining room by Jane and Janis Lang said an appropriate golfing grace. Afterwards we were shown pictures of the Committee as children and we had to guess who they were. It was a challenging task as the winning team only managed five correct answers!
Captain Meriel introduced us to a new way of playing pass the parcel whereby she read us a story that included the words left and right and every time the words were said, the parcel had to be passed in that direction. The winner was the person at each table holding the parcel when the story was over.
Presentation to the winners of the Turkey Trot was made: Sandy Bushby was 1st with 39 points, Doreen Johnstone was 2nd with 38 points and Katie Chapman was 3rd with 35 points.
The grand finale of the afternoon took place with music being played by Andy Lang and Jim Webster. The ladies were all in good voice and sang a number of Christmas songs. Below you will be able to see the ladies sing a special song about golf written by Andy.
