Today the Ladies' Section welcomed their guests to our yearly Invitation Day and the Ladies Committee and I were pleased to see a fair few wait for the presentation of prizes in the dining room at the end of the day. Guests came from a wide variety of clubs with some ladies travelling from as far as Aberdeen and just outside Edinburgh.
The day began with the clouds looking heavy above, but the rain was only slight and most of the 76 ladies who played stayed dry, although it remained quite cold throughout the day. This was in great contrast to the atmosphere in the clubhouse, where smiles, laughter and a great deal of chatter was to be heard among the players.
A two course buffet was on offer, providing hot and cold options and around 60 ladies sat down in the dining room throughout the day, to enjoy the delights of Elaine and Gary's presentation. The catering certainly received positive comments, so many thanks goes to their team and to the bar staff for ensuring the day ran smoothly.
The results were :
Scratch - Heather Anderson (Blair) & Linda McDonald (Ladybank) (72)
1st H/C - Ruth Watson (Blair) & Fran Stirk (Dunbraken) (67)
2nd " - Jane Cameron (Blair) & Caroline Henderson (Aberfeldy) (68)

I would finally like to thank everyone for making this a great day for me, especially the ladies Committee who all took turns on the Registration desk and to Jo Stewart and Pauline Hill as co-ordinators. Please remember that the next Invitation day is the Senior Invitation Day on Tuesday 27th August.
Linda McDonald gave a well received vote of thanks on behalf of the guests.
