COMPOSITE MATCH 13TH JULY AT GLENEAGLES

 

What a fabulous day we had at Gleneagles on Monday 13 July in glorious, sunny conditions. 

On arrival our hosts provided breakfast rolls, tea/coffee in the Dormy giving us much needed fuel before playing the King's course.  It was extra special as we were the last group allowed to play the course before it closed in readiness for the Senior Open.

The composite match involved four clubs; Dunbracken(Gleneagles), St Rule, Glasgow and Blairgowrie - twenty-four ladies in total!

The format was the 2 best stableford scores to count (from teams of four players), which was very kind, as it was an extremely challenging course.  During the round players were invited to stop at the impressive halfway house where we could enjoy drinks, snacks and even ice cream!

The winning team were Anne (Dunbracken), Fiona (Glasgow), Christine (St Rule) and Maggie (Blairgowrie) with 88 points.

Post golf we exchanged stories of our round over a delicious meal, which topped off a truly spectacular day!

Thanks go to the Blairgowrie ladies, Fiona Edwards, Jo Menzies, Anne Walker, Morna Bell, Heather Dawson and Maggie Marshall (Team Captain) for giving up their time to represent the club.

 FRIENDLY MATCH v ST RULE 6 JULY

It was a pleasure, as always to travel to St Andrews to play on the Eden Course. We received a very warm welcome in the clubhouse where we met up with old friends and new faces before venturing out to experience some testing links golf.

The course was in superb condition and we all enjoyed our matches and the excellent company .... despite the gusty wind and brief spell of rain!!
