CHARLES' FAREWELL CHALLENGE 18/10/2019

Lady Captain Margaret Kerr presents Charles with a token of appreciation
Today we played our Charles’ Farewell Challenge with a non counting Stableford rather than the 4 club competition in the Fixtures, with Charles challenging us to beat him on the 15th hole on Rosemount.  Charles was in good form and the ladies had their work cut out to beat him or equal him.   The weather was kind but at  the end, the  rain came on and caught out  the last three ladies playing.

Charles as our guest of honour, along with the ladies and some members from the Wee Course, enjoyed soup and sandwiches after play.    Our thanks go to Elaine and her staff for providing this.

The winners of the Stableford competition, both with 34 points, were Sally Hebden winning from Jan Kennedy on a better inward half.    These ladies received wine as prizes.  A card was signed by all ladies present and we presented this to Charles along with 2 bottles of Champagne as a small token of our appreciation.   The rest of the donations made by the ladies will be presented to Charles at his retiral  Dinner on 29th October.
