We were fortunate that the early light rain didn’t last and we were able to remove the waterproofs and complete our season opener on Rosemount in warm sunshine. The Greenkeepers are to be commended for presenting the course in such a splendid condition – what a lovely start to the year.
Forty ladies participated in the match which was led by Ladies Captain, Elaine and Vice Captain, Maggie together with their playing partners, Moira Lumby and Avril Smith.
Most of the matches were very close, and although the Captain’s team won 5, lost 3 and halved 2, overall the Vice Captain’s team triumphed, winning by 13 holes to 10. The main objective of the day was to have a friendly game of golf and some fun and that was definitely achieved. On the Wee Course, Heather Welsh was closest to the pin in 2 on the 7th and Margaret Sturrock won the “count the putts” competition – well done ladies. Maggie and I would like to thank everyone that played and helped to get the season off to a great start.
After our match, we enjoyed a drink and delicious lunch with a chance to relax and have a chat; thanks to Tina, Greg and their teams for looking after us all. After lunch I was delighted to announce that the Easter Hamper Raffle had raised a total of £620 for SCAA – thank you again to Pauline, Heather and Anne for arranging the hamper, and to everyone that bought (or helped to sell) tickets. The winner was Leah Gray, with Joyce Morrison winning the second prize.
