Competition Results

The Wee Course continues to see good entries for their competitions.  16 ladies played on 13th August in the medal with Ann Henry winning with 19 points.

Medal 6 winners are - Brenda Clough (Div 1) with net 72 and Lesley McPherson (Div 2) with net 78. The Centenary Medal was won by Brenda Clough with the best net score. 

The Mixed Karrinyup 4BBB stableford  played on 15th August was won by Murray and Mary Miller (better last 6) with 42 points and runners up Peter and Hilary Inglis also with 42 points.

On 16th August, we had our friendly match  at home against Pitlochry who could only manage to field 6 players - the result was a draw;   later on that day, the re-scheduled Handicap League match against Strathmore was played but Blairgowrie lost  4/1 to Strathmore.

Our Ladies Past Captains' Day competition on Tuesday 17th August  on Rosemount in fine weather.  There were fewer ladies playing this year due to holidays, injuries and ill health - a few of our Past Ladies Captains are now in are residential homes and unable to take part.    We had a very enjoyable buffet lunch after play and I introduced Gill Tissell, our Ladies Vice Captain to the Ladies.  Jean Laburn won the competition on the Wee Course  and Fiona Johnston was the winner of the Claret Jug.  Lots of photos were taken but here are two of the best.

Update

 As you will have heard, I was sorry to have to cancel our Ladies Captain's Day yesterday at such short notice due to heavy  rain which continued until the middle of the morning.   56 ladies including the Wee course ladies were to have taken part in the competition and my sincere thanks go to them as that number would have meant an excellent day -  about half  did come along to enjoy complimentary coffee & cakes and a chat.  We welcomed three new ladies, Moira, Margaret and Marion (the three Ms) - it was lovely to get a chance to speak with them and good to note they were already taking part in the Ladies' competitions.

I thought I had mentioned  earlier  that Jan Kennedy had passed away - we were quite saddened by the news.   Jan gave up her membership in the last couple of years.

Congratulations to the winners of The Strokeplay Championships for McPherson Quaichs (Scratch and Handicap)  over the two courses, as follows:-   

Scratch - Susan Arbuckle with a gross 166 and       Handicap - Sue Waddell with a net 146

The Mar Patterson 4BBB Stableford winners were  Liz Fertacz and Ron Dow winning with 47 points with better last 3 holes -  Scott and Jacqui Landsburgh  were runners up also with 47 points.

The Dorothy Farquhar 4BBB winners were Elaine Smith & Jacqui Doig - net 68; runners up were Liz Fertacz & Lorraine MacGregor - net 69.
