We met at the Links Clubhouse St. Andrews for pre-match coffees and were warmly welcomed by our hosts from St. Rule and the team from Dunbracken. The sun was shining and there was only a slight breeze - most unusually for St. Andrews - when we set out on the New Course in teams of three. The format was a friendly Stableford with one score counting on each hole. The course was in excellent condition but those unlucky enough to find the long rough or the tricky pot bunkers found plenty of challenges. The good weather remained for the completion of our rounds.
After the match we repaired to the comfortable St Rule Clubhouse where we enjoyed a delicious cold buffet lunch. No one was in a hurry to leave the pleasant surroundings and the friendly atmosphere. The scores for all six teams were very close but the winners were Alison Niven (St. Rule), Jane Black (Dunbracken) and Fiona Edwards (Blairgowrie) who all received a small memento. Next year Blairgowrie will be the hosts for this fixture.
Thanks to the Blairgowrie team members: Fiona Edwards, Anne Farquharson, Fiona Johnston, Maggie Marshall, Anne Walker and Gill Tissell (team captain) and to Anne, Maggie and Fiona for the photos.
