 Fiona Johnston was Team Captain for the match against Crail ladies at home on Monday 24^th May.  The result  was a draw.  The ladies started out in heavy rain which only eased towards the latter part of the day.  Fiona Hill playing for Crail had an eagle on the 16th hole.   Our thanks to the team of  Fiona, Sheila Bruce, Carolyn Haddow, Jo Stewart, Sheila Ritchie, Margaret Hunter, June Dargie and Kathy Cameron.

For ladies' matches, the rule for handicaps is that the ladies take their shots from the course rating and then the full difference.  For doubles it is only  90% of the difference.

On 25^th May we played the Senior Gents for the Columbine Cup.    The day was fair until thunder and lightning caused a couple of teams to come in early.    The result was 4 ½ to the gents and 3 ½ to the ladies.    I handed over the Cup to Team Captain, Scott Landsburgh.

The Ladies Texas Scramble held on the Wee Course on Wednesday 26^th May was well supported with 20 ladies again starting in fairly steady rain.   The winning team was Anne Gellatly, Doreen Johnston, Carolyn Haddow and Fiona Edwards with a net score of 26.   A very good result from the  5 teams who entered.

From the Spring Meeting  on 22^nd May-  McQueen Salver – Winner Gillian Wallace (72) Runner Up Brenda Clough (75) and the  Honeyman Trophy – Winner Angela Rooney (75) Runner Up Lesley McPherson (76)

The draws have been made for the Championships and I am pleased to say that we have a full complement in each section.   The draws are now online with the computer up and running for the results to be entered.   The preliminary rounds and semi-finals should all be played on Rosemount by 24^th June with the finals taking place on Sunday 27^th June.   Good luck to everyone who managed to qualify.

In  the next round of the Annodata (formerly the Mail on Sunday), we have been drawn at home against Dunkeld and Birnam ladies which has to be played by 27^th June.    

You will by now all have received the email requesting nominations for Ladies Vice Captain and Ladies Captain.  All nominations require to be proposed and seconded before submission.

The match against Strathmore resulted in a win for Blairgowrie i.e. 2.5 to 1.5.   The teams of Eileen McMurray and Noreen Fordyce, Mary Hope and Ruth Watson, Barbara Lyburn and Liz Ridsdale and Jo Stewart and Gill Tissell enjoyed a lovely meal with lots of friendly chat afterwards.
