WINTER LEAGUE MATCH v ST MICHAELS - Sunday 27th November

We enjoyed mild, sunny conditions for our third Winter League match away at St Michaels yesterday. The hosts proved to be tough opponents winning the match 2/1. After the match we enjoyed soup, sandwiches and plenty of chat in the clubhouse.

Many thanks to Sue Waddell (Captain), Heather Dawson, Anne Farquharson, Gill Tissell and Sheila Bruce for representing the Club.

It was a delight to see the sun after so much rain!

WINTER LEAGUE AND STANLEY CLARK TROPHY COMPETITION

At least the weather was slightly better last Friday for the Winter League and Stanley Clark Trophy competition on Lansdowne. It was relatively mild for the time of year and the majority of the field managed to complete their round before the heavy rain started. However, when we arrived back in the clubhouse a power cut had occurred and whilst there was light, none of the computers, tills etc were working and the clubhouse was closed early afternoon. This meant there was no chat over coffee / lunch or announcing of the competition winners. Congratulations to the winners:

Division 1: Winner - Sheila Bruce (33 points on count back); Runner-up - Anne Farquharson (33 points).

Division 2: Winner - Kathy Cameron (39 points); Runner-up - Gill Tissell (37 points). Impressive scoring ladies.

Nine ladies played in the Wee Course Winter League. The winner was Lynne Bell with 21 points with Heather Welsh runner-up with 20 points. Well done to all the winners. 

WINTER LEAGUE - FRIDAY 18TH NOVEMBER

The Winter League on Friday 18th November was cancelled as the course was closed due to the persistent rain. However, three ladies ventured out on the alternate day on Sunday 13th November. The results of this competition are:

Winner Division 1 - Claire Bidwell (37 points).

Winner Division 2 - Fanny Christie (30 points); Runner-up - Gill Tissell (27 points).

Golf balls will be presented when I see you all next!
