PUTTING HINTS, TIPS AND TECHNIQUES WITH NEIL CAMERON

27 Ladies came to the ever popular annual putting lesson with Neil.  Neil  stressed the importance of how putting well can make a huge difference to the score and handicap. He covered ways on the green to observe and learn from others putting,  the way the green is cut, marking and lining up the ball. Today we heard about the setup and the thinking process making sure we make good use of the practice putting green before going out on the course.  There were lots of questions and a few rules covered.  Neil then went on to talk about the new thinking with putters, showing us the new L.A.B putters.  A bit pricey but designed to straighten the putts.  Neil also talked about the different types of grips and of course the all important golf balL

18TH JANUARY 2026 WINTER INTERCLUB MATCH V EARLSFERRY THISTLE AWAY

 

Blairgowrie Ladies were keen to play in our Interclub Winter League match against Earlsferry Thistle Ladies on Sunday 18th January.   The weather has caused problems for the Fife Coastal courses and on arrival for the match the ladies found that holes 1 and 2 at Elie were closed.  This did not detract from the enjoyment of the course and the competitiveness of the match.  As the match went on the fine dry conditions turned to rain but very little wind.  All the matches were close but most of the Blairgowrie ladies found the fast greens hard to adjust to.  The end result was a 2-1 win to Earlsferry Thistle.

All ladies warmed up with delicious home made soup and sandwiches  in the clubhouse.  Well done to our team of Claire Bidwell, Julienne Christie-Henry, Margaret Johnstone, Teresa Lynch, Lesley McPherson and Gill Tissell (Team Captain)

 What a lovely morning, sun shining and snow has disappeared, at least for now.  Courses recovering and still closed.  For the first of the Winter Social Events for this year Liz Ridsdale entertained us with her demonstration of winter floral arrangements.  20 ladies attended and were well entertained with Liz showing us how you can transform a few flowers and winter foliage into something special.  Liz answered the many questions and gave us some useful hints and tips.  Two lucky ladies names were drawn from the hat to win the arrangements.  A most enjoyable morning was had by all.

LADIES WINTER LEAGUE 3RD JANUARY 2026

 Due to a forecasted snow flurry and settling on the courses the first Winter League of 2026 was cancelled.  A few ladies came and had coffee but venturing out in the very bitterly cold wind coming from the north was not an option
