Having just received the printout from Dawn, here are the results of the Winter League played on Rosemount on 20th November.  I note there is another good turnout for Friday this week.

Division 1 winner Sheila Bruce - net 47

Division 2 winner Erica Espley - net 50.

Wee Course winner - Jean Laburn with 19 points



An another subject altogether, Margaret Hunter is wondering if anyone can let her know the name of the lady on the far right at the back  in the picture below.   If you do know, can you please either let Margaret or myself know.

Ladies Winter League

Today we had a record number of ladies playing on Lansdowne in our first round for  the Stanley Clark Trophy.  Whilst the weather was cold with a bit of a breeze, it was dry and good scores were recorded.

Division 1 winner was Susan Arbuckle with a net 48

Division 2 winner was Elaine Robson with a net 50.

Anna Carson was the winner of the Wee Course winter league with 18 stableford points (after  countback).   

Well done to you all - it was grand to have such a large turnout.

Stableford winners and more information

 

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.

Up to date winners and competition on 6th November

  

The new system at the Club will not be in place for our competition on 6th November so  instead this will be played as  a non-counting stableford competition.  

The Winter League will start on Lansdowne on 13th November - this will be the first round for the Stanley Clark Trophy;   please enter online as usual and a draw will be done by the office.

Congratulations to Susan Arbuckle for winning the Medal Winners Medal but all the  players deserve a medal  for playing the full round on Lansdowne in such adverse weather conditions.

The Turkey Trot had an extremely good entry with £68 collected. First prize of £35 goes to Barbara Lyburn with 35 points; second prize of £20  goes to Mary Miller (33 points bih); and third prize of £13 to Liz Fertacz (33 points).
