HANDICAP LEAGUE MATCH v. PERTH LADIES (AWAY) - Monday, 25th August

At the beginning of August, Storm Floris caused a rescheduling of our ladies Handicap League match against Perth Ladies at North Inch. A new date was found which ended up being held on a glorious summer evening. 

The views across the course were fantastic and a first visit for most of our team. However, due to the recent dry weather, conditions were testing and local knowledge of how to stay on the greens won over with the Blairgowrie ladies suffering a 5-0 defeat. All matches were tight though with one going to the last putt on the 18th. Afterwards we were fed homemade cakes and pots of tea at the bowling club before the trip home. 

Thanks to Jo Menzies (Team Captain), Louise Luke, Lesley McPherson, Hannah Hislop and Angela Rooney for representing the club.

FRIENDLY TRI MATCH - BLAIRGOWRIE/CARNOUSTIE/PANMURE - Monday, 25th August

Eighteen ladies played in a mixed team of one lady from each of the clubs.  It was yet another beautiful day and we enjoyed the fun format of best 2 of 3 stableford scores.

Because the weather was so pleasant, we were able to enjoy a post match drink outside on the patio watching the various teams as they came in.

A delicious 2 course meal was enjoyed by all in the dining room before the results were announced.  The visiting teams were given a Blairgowrie Golf Club pouch which included a pitch mark repairer, pencil and ball marker to take away as a momento.

The scores were very close but the winners were Team 2 with 91 pts :  Anne Walker (Blairgowrie), Liz Husband (Carnoustie) and Dawn Hart (Panmure). The Ladies Captain presented each lady with a small gift.

Well done to the winning team and I hope everyone had a lovely time in the last of our friendly matches for 2025.

Thank you to the Blairgowrie ladies for giving up their time to represent the club:  Shirley Lewis, Anne Walker, Anne Farquharson, Maggie Marshall (Team Captain), Judith Carmichael and a special thanks to Linda Rice who stepped in at short notice. 

Here are some photos from the day................

LADIES PAST CAPTAINS DAY - Tuesday, 12th August

We had a fantastic turnout for the Ladies Past Captains Day.  Ladies were dressed in skorts or capri trousers, put on suntan lotion and some even put up umbrellas to shield themselves from the strong sunshine as the mini heatwave continues.

Eleven ladies played in the stableford competition  on Rosemount (including Noreen Fordyce who joined us having left earlier this year) with three ladies playing on the Wee Course.

Post golf, complimentary drinks were on offer where golfers met up with some more Past Ladies Captains who were joining us for lunch in the dining room.

A lovely 2 course meal was enjoyed and a small gift was given to all attendees from myself before announcing the results as follows:

Winner of the Muriel Rae Claret Jug -  Margaret Hunter (41 pts);  Runner-up - Mary Hope (38 pts)

Wee Course Winner - Jean Laburn with the runner-up Sheila Christie.

Both winners received a gift of a bottle of prosecco.

Well done to all winners and runners-up.

It was my pleasure to host all Ladies Past Captains.  I would also like to thank my Vice Captain, Heather Dawson for helping on the day and for the catering staff for looking after us.

Here are some photos from the day............

FRIENDLY AT HOME v. DOWNFIELD - Monday, 11th August

On Monday we welcomed the Downfield Ladies for our annual friendly match on Rosemount. The weather was extremely kind to us, with dry conditions, minimal wind and a pleasant temperature which set us up for an enjoyable competitive afternoon of golf.

For a number of the Downfield Ladies it was their first time playing Rosemount and all were complimentary of how the course was presented. The Green keepers continue to do an excellent job of presenting a pristine course, especially given the excessive windy conditions of last week which caused some disruption.

All matches were keenly contested with all 4 games playing out over the 17th and 18th greens. Unfortunately for the home team it was not our day with the visitors securing a well deserved win of 3/1.

After golf we enjoyed a delicious two course meal in the dining room. Thanks to the catering and bar staff for looking after us.

As always many thanks to Shirley Lewis, Marion Kay, Jo Menzies, Louise Luke, Sue Waddell (team captain), Lorraine MacGregor, Anne Farquharson and Linda Rice for giving up their time to represent the Club.
