Thirty six ladies came together on Friday evening to look forward to the coming season. We enjoyed a delicious meal prepared and served by our new caterers, Steven and Carolyn Gilroy, and their teams. There was much friendly chat and some new members were introduced to the gathering.
After dinner, Gill ran through the main competitions and other events coming up and then Robin Duncan, past Club Captain, gave a short talk on the history of Blairgowrie Golf Club from the formation of the Wee Course, to the Ladies' Clubhouse and on to more recent times with the creation of the Lansdowne Course. He introduced us to the personalities involved in the club's beginnings, many of whom have given their name to trophies or holes on the courses. More information on the history of the Club can be found in the Secure Members' Area of the website.
Gill thanked Robin for stepping in at the last minute to replace Stuart Wilson who is isolating due to a member of his family having Covid. Several ladies also had to miss the evening because of positive Covid tests and we wish them all well.
Earlier in the day, we enjoyed a Texas Scramble played in glorious sunshine. The scores were very close and the results were:
Winners: Morna Bell, Marion Kay & Gill Tissell Runners-up: Susan Arbuckle, Mary Hope & Sheila Ritchie
On the Wee Course, Jeannie Webster won the 3 Clubs & Putter competition and Sheila Christie was runner-up.
Here are some photos of the ladies listening attentively .......
