We played our second Winter League match Blairgowrie V St Michaels Golf Club on Rosemount.
Weather conditions were reasonable. Rain fell for most of the round but there was no wind making it feel warmer. The match was keenly fought with some spectacular golf from our opponents and nip and tuck in the other two matches with some fantastic putting. St Michaels Golf Club was the victor with a score of 2 points to 1.
Thank you to the Blairgowrie ladies, Shirley Lewis, Elaine Robson, Julienne Christie-Henry,
Lesley McPherson, Teresa Lynch and Heather Dawson (Team Captain)
Three clubs and a putter proved no problem for our winner today with restricted number of clubs.
