AWAY WINTER LEAGUE FRIENDLY MATCH v. DUNFERMLINE - 10th November

 

As you drive through the gates of Dunfermline Golf Club, along the sweeping driveway, the spectacular Pitfirrane tower house greets you.  Dating back to the 15th century it really is a sight to behold!

This was the venue for our third Winter League Friendly match played on the Pitfirrane course.  The weather for the most part was kind to us with the sun coming out towards the end.

All matches were keenly contested however our opponents won 2-1.  Post golf we enjoyed a selection of soup, sandwiches, croissants and sausage rolls along with a nice chat.

Thank you to Moira Campsie, Denise Ginley, Fiona Edwards, Hannah Hislop, Margaret Johnstone and Maggie Marshall (Team Captain) for giving up their time to represent Blairgowrie.

WINTER LEAGUE MATCH AT HOME v. EARLSFERRY THISTLE - 27th October


It was a pleasure to host the ladies from Earlsferry Thistle on Rosemount and to welcome them for their first match since joining the Winter League.  The weather was very pleasant and we all enjoyed making new friends whilst playing the course which was in excellent condition.

Our visitors thoroughly enjoyed their day which was rounded off with a very friendly post match chat over soup and sandwiches.  The matches were keenly contested, however home knowledge proved to be an advantage, with Blairgowrie winning 2 to 1.

My thanks go to the Blairgowrie ladies - Lesley McPherson, Denise Ginley, Hazel Moore, Cassy Grant, Mary Miller and Elaine Robson (team captain).

Well done Ladies !!




Thanks to Elaine for the match report and photos
