LADIES TEXAS SCRAMBLE OPEN - Tuesday, 9th September

One hundred and twenty ladies were welcomed yesterday to Blairgowrie Golf Club to play in the Ladies Texas Scramble Open in teams of 4.  The texas scramble was a fun format which required 3 drives each with the added challenge of nearest the pin on the 15th.  The 16th tee was positioned so that  you had to hit a good shot over the water !  The weather was very kind to us with the sun shining, adding to an even more enjoyable day.

Rosemount looked fantastic and thankfully had enjoyed some much needed rain of late presenting the course in beautiful condition.

The Ladies Captain Tombola raised another £311.50 in aid of Alzheimer Scotland with ladies winning a wide variety of prizes including Highland Park glasses, Prosecco, wine, chocolates, leather bound Macallan notebooks, Rum, Polo shirts, candles and much more !!

Thank you to the volunteers manning the desk :  Iain Valentine, Maggie Marshall, Heather Dawson, Marion Kay and Elaine Robson. 

My thanks also go to everyone involved in organising the event including the office staff, catering and pro shop staff and of course the green keeping staff.

Here are the prize winners - full results have been posted on the website.

WINTER LEAGUE FRIENDLY MATCHES - 2025/26

A Winter League was established in 2021 with the aim of encouraging friendly competition between lady members of the participating clubs during the winter months. 

In 2023, following two successful years, the founding member clubs of Anstruther, Blairgowrie, Crail, Ladybank and St Michaels agreed that this would become an annual competition with matches, 2 home and 2 away, taking place between 1st October and 31st March (no fixtures during December).

A salver is presented to the winning club at the Annual Meeting, which is held each August. 

In 2024 Ladybank unfortunately withdrew from the league due to difficulties in being able to commit to fielding a full team.  They have been replaced by Earlsferry Thistle and Dunfermline have also joined the league.  We have 3 home matches and 2 away matches in 2025/26.

A sign-up sheet for the 2025-26 season will be placed on the noticeboard in the ladies’ locker room; the schedule is:

2025

5th October - Anstruther (AWAY)

26th October - St Michaels (Home)

9th November - Crail (Home)

2026

18th January - Earlsferry Thistle (AWAY)

1st February - Dunfermline (Home)

 

Teams of six will compete in a 4-ball better ball format. Soup and sandwiches will be served after the game, at a cost of £9.50. 

Ladies of all abilities are encouraged to participate (a maximum course handicap of 36 will be applied). If you are interested in playing in the team please add your name to the sign-up sheet.

 

LADIES AFTERNOON BRIDGE RESTART - Tuesday, 14th Oct

KYOCERA GOLF CLUB CLASSIC - ROUND 5 - Thursday, 28th August

Round 5 was drawn as an away match against Dundas Parks Ladies Golf Club. 

On 28th  August, Heather Anderson (Team Captain), Liz Fertacz, Maggie Marshall, Anne Farquharson and Morna Bell set out on a windy and overcast afternoon in single match play format.

It became apparent to the players that local knowledge was key to positioning and putting on the greens and unfortunately a 5-0 defeat was the outcome.

Dundas Parks ladies provided soup and sandwiches afterwards and a friendly atmosphere was enjoyed.

We wish them the very best in the latter stages of the Kyocera Golf Club Classic.
