May news

 

The new Fixtures booklet for 2021 is now available from the starter’s hut or the Pro Shop.   Please also ask at the Pro Shop for the 2021 bagtag discs if you do not already have one.  We have made one or two changes to the Fixtures which are noted below.   It may well be that a few more alterations will be made before the end of the season but we will let you know about these in good time.

 The first of our official competitions this year was played on Friday 30th April for the first qualifying championship round and the first round of the Margaret Salver.    Congratulations to Laura Mackay for her score of a net 69 and to Gill Tissell for the best net of 78 in her Division.   We also had a few players in Division 3 but only Jacqui Doig returned a score.  A total of 47 ladies returned scores.   

The Wee Course Ladies had their first medal with 16 ladies playing, the winner being Ann Malloch with 21 points.  

With regard to the Championships, the last of the qualifying rounds is to be played on 21^st May which gives everyone plenty of time until 25^th of June to have all the preliminary ties completed (they should be played on Rosemount unless competitors agree otherwise) with the finals held on Rosemount this year on Sunday 27^th June.

The knockout competitions rounds are now in full swing and the results are online if you wish to keep up to date with these.

You will all now be aware that the Ladies Committee agreed that the doubles knockout competition for the Gellatly Rosebowls should be postponed until restrictions are lifted regarding playing foursomes and    will intimate dates when the first rounds can be played.  The Coronations Foursomes scheduled for 28^th May have also been postponed until later in the season.   We will play instead for the Karrinyup Spoon on that day.   Later in the season, we hope to be able to fit in the Ladies Invitation Day which was postponed from 4^th May.

The first friendly match is away to Carnoustie Caledonia on 10^th May.   We have a full team organised and let us hope the weather is much drier and warmer that day.

The squad has been chosen for the Annodata competition (which previously was the Mail on Sunday) with the first round being played at home against Panmure on 16^th May.

On Saturday, 22^nd May, instead of the Pat Robins Trophy, we have substituted the Spring Meeting. The Pat Robins Trophy will now be played on 18^th June with the alternate day ladies playing for this on 13^th June.

We have a friendly match at home against Crail on 24^th May and of course the Senior Gents v Ladies match for the Columbine Cup is scheduled to take place on 25th May (I will let everyone know as soon as I am given  the list of senior gents) .    There are entry sheets for the friendly matches in the locker room upstairs and I would ask that all ladies who wish to play in any of the matches enter their names on these lists.

Please also note to enter your names for Wednesday 26^th May when the Ladies and Wee Course Ladies play a 9-hole shotgun scramble at 10 a.m. on the Wee Course with lunch to follow.   It would be nice to have a good turnout for this fun event.

Now that we are back into the swing of things and getting used to our new handicap system, I will keep you up to date on a fairly regular basis with news, results etc.  and hopefully with some great photographs.
