On Monday we were welcomed to the Caledonia Golf Club for our friendly match on the Championship course at Carnoustie. Whilst the handicaps and pairings were confirmed, we were treated to complimentary bacon rolls and coffee.
We couldn't have asked for better weather with clear blue skies and a warm, brisk wind (which for Carnoustie was calm playing conditions!). The course was in a fantastic condition, the fast undulating greens however posed a few challenges in the wind together with the deep, well placed bunkers and water hazards! On the plus side the rough was manageable as it is still early in the season for growth.
All the matches were keenly contested, however local knowledge of the golf course terrain certainly favoured the home team with a win of 4/0.
Afterwards we enjoyed a very tasty two course meal where we shared stories of missed putts, balls refusing to make their way out of the sand and balls lost to never be seen again after landing in the water hazards! Despite all these distractions we all had a fantastic memorable day.
Thanks to the Blairgowrie team - Morna Bell, Sheila Bruce, Anne Farquharson, Linda Rice, Elaine Robson, Angela Rooney, Sue Waddell (team captain) for the match report and photos and Louise Whitehead for representing the Club.
