On 6th November, the ladies played a non counting stableford
competition on the most beautiful day of our Autumn. There was a very good entry and the winners were
Barbara Lyburn (Division 1) (39 points bih); Susan Arbuckle was 2nd also with 39
points; Erica Espley (Division 2) with 36
points and 2nd was Gill Tissell (34 points bih). The scene around the loch was stunning; not a
ripple on the water making it look like a glass mirror, and so we asked Gill to
take a photograph. Here is one view
and another with Kathy Cameron in action on the 16th tee.
The Ladies Committee have been unable to hold monthly indoor meetings due to the Covid19 regulations but have instead discussed various matters by email and made decisions.
The Turkey Trot had a very good entry number of ladies this year and so we
agreed that it would be fairer to give gift cards for 1st and 2nd
in each division rather than an overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The rules will therefore be altered
accordingly.
I see there are more names entered for the competition on Friday 13th November than time
slots booked – I have asked Dawn to extend the times available and make sure
all the ladies are included in the draw.
For the winter league and also the Wee Course winter league, because of
the pandemic, we are to give a voucher at
the end of the season to the lady with the best six scores (with count backs on
last cards if required) for play on Rosemount and on the Wee Course rather than hand out
golf balls on the day but we will continue when possible to take photographs of
the winners for the blog. The Stanley Clark Trophy will still be played
on Lansdowne on the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month per
the current rules. Also, because of the Covid19 rules in place regarding
the handling of paper, there will be no winter ringer or eclectic competitions
held this year.
The Club is not to hold an annual prizegiving but the list of prize
winners is displayed on our noticeboard in the upstairs locker room and will also be
online. The Report & Accounts booklet will be available on 19th November. The AGM will be a virtual one
and the information regarding this is now online.
Unfortunately, this year we will be not hold
our Christmas Lunch but our caterers, Gary and Elaine continue to provide excellent
meals and will be continuing with their delivery service.
This is a unique year - we can only hope that things will be
different by the end of March 2021.
Margaret Kerr, Ladies Captain.
