It was a very warm sunny day and the atmosphere in the clubhouse matched the conditions. The Blairgowrie team consisted of a good mix of players who had played the course before and three new members who were experiencing Edzell for the first time.
Our team order was changed, due to a replacement player being required for Edzell. When Moira and I teed off second with our now new Thai companion and her partner, we were to witness some wonderful golf, a golf lesson in itself. Both players were a delight to play with and, from feedback from the other groups, all really enjoyed their matches and the day.
Since the storms of 2021, the course has visibly changed with over 800 trees lost, but the greens are as tricky as ever.
Following the games, all enjoyed a great two course meal and coffee, followed by the usual votes of thanks. From the friendships established, I would expect to see some new faces at our invitation days next year.
Thanks go to the Blairgowrie team of Moira Campsie, Brenda Clough, Linda Rice, Eileen McMurray, Anne Farquharson, Maggie Marshall and Jacqui Doig. The result was a 3-1 win for Edzell.
