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.
