We played our third handicap league match of the year on Monday and although rain was forecast from early evening it did not materialise until after 10pm. The weather, unlike that in the Open at Troon, was fair with no wind and warm enough for everyone to put their jumpers in their bags!!
Overall the handicaps were fairly well balanced with our ladies giving shots in each of the matches. With the course beautifully presented and the lovely evening it was perfect for some good golf and fortunately we did not disappoint. The Blairgowrie ladies took full advantage of playing on their home course (due to the pep talk from the captain perhaps?), bringing home our first handicap league win of the season with a score of 3&1/2 to 1&1/2. We later learned that Perth had won all three of their other matches!!
Both teams enjoyed the banter in the clubhouse afterwards over a cuppa and biscuits. My grateful thanks to the Blairgowrie ladies who gave up their time to represent the Club; Morna Bell, Anne Farquharson (team captain), Maggie Marshall, Elaine Robson and Gill Tissell.
