Maggie Orr (VC) Kirriemuir presented with the
Lady Captain's Trophy by Fiona Johnston, Lady Captain
of Blairgowrie Golf Club
This was a new event for Blairgowrie Golf Club, introduced as part of our 130 years celebrations. It brought together 24 Lady Captains from the clubs Blairgowrie Ladies are directly involved with, through the Scratch League, Handicap League, Friendlies, County, Vets and a few individual invitations to clubs who I as Lady Captain have had the pleasure to have been invited to. 30 invites originally went out, but due to other commitments 6 were not able to attend.
The weather, again, was not what we would have wanted, being overcast and a light rain, but as one Lady Captain described the event, "Despite the weather there was a lovely sunny feel to the occasion." The Captains were served bacon rolls and coffee prior to being announced on to the first tee by Neil our starter at 1.30pm. Following the golf the ladies enjoyed a Captain's punch in the East lounge before sitting down to a two course meal in the dining room and presentation.
My thanks go to Margaret Kerr, Vice Captain for joining us to collect the cards and do the scoring on the day. Also to Gary and Elaine for a wonderful meal, as commented on by all our visitors and to Angie for the punch.
This was a great opportunity to showcase our club and from the Captains' feedback also one which allowed Lady Captains to share ideas and make new friendships. I have already been informed by Kirriemuir's Lady Committee, as the winners, that they are in favour of hosting the event next year, following approval from their main Committee. I must say, I had a wonderful day and a great honour as your Captain to introduce this venture.
