HANDICAP LEAGUE PERTH LADIES V BLAIRGOWRIE AT HOME

 The Blairgowrie Ladies welcomed Perth Ladies on Bank Holiday Monday to play in our first match of the new Handicap Season.  The weather was beautiful with warm sunshine which lasted till almost 9.30 pm,  with first match teeing off at 5 pm.

Most of the games were very close, with players relying on final putts on the 18th hole to win the game.

Following the match both teams enjoyed tea/coffee or soft drinks in the clubhouse, where a vote of thanks were expressed by both Team Captains on the night.

As Team Captain I would like to thank the team of Mary Miller, Jo Menzies, Elaine Robson and Louise Luke for their contributions.  Blairgowrie came home winners with a 3-2 result

ACADEMIA CLASSIC MATCH AWAY AT DUNKELD AND BIRNAM

We had a beautiful sunny day for our 2nd round Academia Classic Fixture away to Dunkeld and Birman.  The course is challenging, one with undulating terrain, elevated tees and greens and, on a couple of holes, water courses, but the views are spectacular all the way round.  Pauline Hill kindly provided everyone with 'Strokesaver' information to help us navigate the course which proved very useful.  Club choice is crucial and the home ladies used their knowledge in this respect to good advantage.  Good golf was played by both teams in this singles matchplay event, but Dunkeld just edged it with a 3-2 win.

thanks to the Blairgowrie ladies Claire Bidwell, Teresa Lynch, Maggie Marshall, Pauline Hill and Gill Tissell (Team Captain) 

MATCH FRIENDLY BLAIRGOWRIE V STRATHMORE AWAY 26TH MAY

 Our ladies enjoyed  a lovely welcome on a beautiful day at Strathmore.  The azaleas and rhododendrons in full bloom are a particular feature on various holes and the course was in excellent condition.  The greens were tricky for us with lots of undulations.  Strathmore won the day 4-0.

Thanks go to Linda Rice (Team Captain) Eileen Brown, Fiona Edwards, Denise Ginley, Heather Dawson and Jacqui Landsburgh, Jo Menzies and Louise Whitehead.
