MATCH FRIENDLY AWAY AT DOWNFIELD 12TH AUGUST 2026

 

Downfield Report 12th August

The Blairgowrie Ladies received a warm welcome at Downfield on 12th August.  We teed off in bright sunshine The tree lined course afforded much needed shade. There was clear evidence that a number of holes had a few changes, making approaches to the greens very different from previous years.

Following the match both teams enjoyed a lovely two course meal in the newly refurbished clubhouse which presented as bright and airy. Votes of thanks were given by Team Captains..

The result was 3-1 win to Downfield, with our two players Jo and Teresa winning their match never having played the course before. 

I would like to than Carolyn Haddow, Fiona Edwards, Anne Walker, Jo Menzies, Teresa Lynch, Linda Rice and Denise Ginley.

HANDICAP LEAGUE BLAIRGOWRIE V MUCKHART 26TH JULY 2026

 

Blairgowrie V Muckhart 26th July 2026

Our final Handicap match took place at Muckhart Golf Club where we played on the Naemoor and Cowden courses.

All the Blairgowrie ladies were giving shots to the home team which made it an uphill struggle.  The result was a 4-1 win for Muckhart which was disappointing after our previous successes in the Handicap League. 

The courses were in excellent condition and the setting among the hills was very picturesque.  The weather was mixed with a few showers early on, then some warm sunshine, but most of us were caught in a very heavy downpour towards the end of the round.  We all enjoyed the course and the chat over drinks in the clubhouse afterwards.

Thanks to the Blairgowrie team of Denise Ginley, Lesley McPherson, Kathleen Norris, Elaine Robson and Gill Tissell (team captain).

FRIENDLY MATCH BLAIRGOWRIE V CRIEFF THURSDAY 16TH JULY

 

Friendly Match Blairgowrie V Crieff at home

Match Report

It was a glorious afternoon when we had the pleasure of hosting the visiting ladies from Crieff for our friendly match on Rosemount.

 

The course was in stunning condition, with many compliments being extended to our greenkeeping team.  We all enjoyed the company of our playing partners and whilst all matches were keenly contested our guests were able to secure a 2¹/₂ - ¹/₂  win.

 

Over post-match drinks we were pleased to hear that Crieff now have more ladies available to play than previously and it should be possible to revert to teams of 8 when we visit there next year, with catering also likely to be available.

 

My thanks as always go to the Blairgowrie ladies, Linda Rice, Maggie Marshall, Gill Tissell, Judith Carmichael and Marion Kay, for joining me to represent the Club.
