On Sunday the 28th April, Blairgowrie Ladies played Panmure Barry Ladies at Carnoustie, in the second round of the Annodata Competition, due to Blairgowrie receiving a bye in the first round.
The team consisted of 5 players, Emily Aird, Fiona Johnston (c), Liz Fertacz, Jillian Milne and Heather Anderson and the games were match play, with handicap difference. The games were played in bright sunshine, although the wind was evident and varied throughout the day.
The rules stipulated that should the initial match end in a draw, then sudden death would be played involving the 5th named player. Our games varied, with some being very close, and the match result was 2.5-2.5. This being the case, and with only a comfort break, Heather headed out for sudden death. There was excitement in the Blairgowrie camp, as Heather had already won her game. However, with only a putt separating the players on the 19th hole, Blairgowrie went down 3.5-2.5.
Both teams enjoyed sandwiches and coffee in the clubhouse with votes of thanks being given by the two captains on the day. Our best wishes go to Panmure Barry in the next round.
Fiona Johnston
Lady Captain.
