PROSTATE CANCER DAY 18TH JUNE

 

Ladies,

On behalf of myself, Maggie and Elaine, we would like to say a huge THANK YOU to every single person who donated, shared our story, encouraged us and supported us during our recent challenge of playing 45 holes of golf in one day at The Blairgowrie Golf Club in aid of Prostate Cancer UK.

On Thursday 18th June, we walked approximately 18 kilometres, battled tired legs, sore feet and a few challenging holes along the way, but thanks to your incredible generosity, every step was worthwhile. 

We are absolutely delighted to have raised £5,135 as a ladies team, helping contribute to more than £17,000 raised overall by the 8 teams of 3, playing on the day. This is an achievement we could never have reached without your support.

This challenge was about much more than golf. It was about raising awareness of a major disease that affects 1 in 8 men, encouraging earlier diagnosis, and helping fund research that can save lives. We have seen first-hand how early detection can make all the difference, and if our efforts encourage even one more man to get checked sooner, then every mile walked and every golf ball struck was worth it.  Sadly, 1 in 3 men in Scotland only receive diagnosis when it’s too late.

Your kindness, generosity and messages of support kept us going throughout the day and reminded us why we were doing this. Knowing so many people were behind us gave us the determination to finish all 45 holes with smiles on our faces.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us make a difference and for supporting such an important cause.

Together, we are helped to create a future where more men receive an earlier diagnosis and have a better chance of successful treatment.

With sincere gratitude,

Pauline, Maggie & Elaine

TRI-MATCH WITH ST RULE AND TURNBERRY AT HOME 18TH JUNE

 We welcomed teams from St. Rule and Turnberry in overcast conditions.  The format was teams of three with the two best Stableford scores out of three counting.  This made for a very friendly and relaxed game.  All the visitors were complimentary about the course and there were some very good scores.  We had some rain towards the end of our rounds but this did not detract from the enjoyment of the day.  The winning team, with a fantastic score of 90, was Denise Ginley, Fiona Mackie from St. Rule and Claire Erskine from Turnberry.  

A delicious two-course meal was served after the match and the winners were presented with a small memento.

We look forward to next year's match which will be held at Turnberry.

MATCH FRIENDLY BLAIRGOWRIE V EDZELL AWAY 15TH JUNE 2026

 Our ladies enjoyed a keenly fought match against Edzell.  The course was in excellent condition, there was no rain but the temperature is still struggling to feel like a summer's day.  The Edzell ladies were very welcoming and helpful during the round.  Sad to see that they lost so many trees in the great storm  of 2022 it has changed the look of some of the holes. Some of our ladies played there for the first time and really enjoyed the challenge especially on the back nine.

We had an excellent meal after the match and good to see lots of members enjoying the restaurant facility.

The ladies from Edzell won 3 1/2 to 1/2 despite our best efforts.

Thanks go to Sue Waddell, Meriel Walker, Carolyn Haddow, Louise Luke, Gill 'Tissell, Mary Miller, Lorraine MacGregor and Heather Dawson (team captain)

HANDICAP LEAGUE CRIEFF V BLAIRGOWRIE AT HOME 14TH JUNE

We welcomed the ladies from Crieff to play in the handicap league match at home on Sunday, 14 June.

Rosemount looked stunning in the sunshine, which was a lovely change from recent adverse weather conditions of thunderstorms and rain.

All matches were keenly contested with one match being played to the last putt!

The matches were played competitively but in good spirits and it was obvious that everyone enjoyed each other's company, regardless of the score.

The match was halved at 2.5 / 2.5.

Post golf we swapped stories of our respective games over some drinks and biscuits.

Thanks go to Jo Menzies, Maggie Marshall (Team Captain), Lesley McPherson, Teresa Lynch and Elaine Robson for giving up their time to represent the club.

HANDICAP LEAGUE KING JAMES VI V BLAIRGOWRIE AWAY 8TH JUNE

 The King James VI away handicap league match saw the team beat the rain into the clubhouse and secure a 3-2 victory.  This was a welcome reversal after last year's home defeat.  The evenly matched pairings and low shots given reflected the close contest, with one match going to the 18th and a grudge return match win.  A special thanks goes to the team for their trip: Jo Menzies (team captain), Judith Carmichael, Morna Bell, Elaine Robson and Heather Dawson

MATCH FRIENDLY BLAIRGOWRIE V ALYTH AWAY 1ST JUNE 2026

 

Friendly Match v Alyth - Monday 1 June

At 11.30am on Monday morning the team Captain’s were discussing whether to play the match given the weather forecast of constant rain all afternoon. Thankfully it was agreed to play as despite commencing all 4 matches in the rain the skies cleared and we enjoyed a dry afternoon.

The course was in excellent condition, the undulating greens as always proved tricky for the Blairgowrie ladies with no putt being flat or straight! All matches were keenly contested, with plenty of chat and laughter. However, despite our best endeavours, the result was a 4–0 win to the home side.

Following our golf, we all enjoyed a one course meal in the Clubhouse. Many thanks to Maggie Marshall, Pauline Hill, Janice Lang, Eileen Brown, Sue Waddell (team captain), Elaine Robson, Fiona Johnston and Louise Luke for giving up their time to represent the Club.
