LADIES CAPTAIN'S DAY & 100 YEARS ANNIVERSARY OF EQUAL STATUS CELEBRATION - 23rd August

Thank you to everyone that participated in the Ladies Captain's Day on Friday, which also included a celebration of the 100 year anniversary of ladies gaining equal status as members.  

Many ladies embraced the 1920's theme and a special mention is due to Mary Miller who dressed appropriately for golf and also afterwards....deservedly winning the prize for best vintage outfit....and she played with her mother in law's wooden club, Jessie Valentine irons & cleek putter!!

After golf we enjoyed complimentary "Great Gatsby" cocktails before assembling in the dining room for a delicious "Step Back in Time" buffet lunch followed by Maggie giving a presentation on the background to The Blairgowrie Golf Club Ladies Section gaining equal status which also highlighted the achievements of our notable ladies.  We were very privileged to be able to display a selection of Jessie Valentine's trophies and clubs - many thanks to her son Iain for entrusting us with these precious items.

We were then treated to an "All That Jazz" dance, performed by Maggie and Fiona Edwards - another highlight on a memorable day.

Thank you to everyone that was involved prior to and on the day, and for your contributions to my chosen charity.
