We played our season opener on Friday morning on Rosemount. It was a bit of a cold and damp start but at least the rain stayed off for the group photos and the Captain teeing off! Unfortunately the Scottish weather was true to form and we were all pretty wet and cold by the time we found our way back into the Clubhouse!
Thirty nine ladies participated in the match which was led by Ladies Captain, Sue and Vice Captain, Elaine and their playing partners, Carolyn Haddow and Susan Arbuckle. Most of the matches were pretty close with the main objective of the day to have a friendly game of golf and some fun. The final result was not so close with the Captain's team winning by 29 holes to 8. Better luck next year Elaine!!
The Greenkeepers should be commended for the way in which they presented the course given the challenges they have faced with the winter weather.
After our match, we enjoyed a drink and delicious lunch with a chance to dry out, warm up, relax and have a chat. Thanks to Tina, Greg and their teams for looking after us all.
Thanks to Alistair Batchen, our photographer for the day, who stayed out in the rain and could be seen lurking behind trees and bushes taking photos of all the playing groups! The photo slide show then played over lunch which was a lovely surprise (thanks Elaine).
Elaine and I would like to thank everyone who played and who helped get the season off to a great start.
Here are a selection of photos from the day......please click on the images to enlarge.
