Now that everyone has a copy of the Fixtures for August, September and October, you will see that our first round for the Championships will be held on Friday 7th August with the second round on 14th August. There are alternative days for these and other competitions. Once the draws are done for the preliminary knock-out rounds, please organise to play the various rounds as soon as possible. You will have until Friday 28th August to complete these, with the finals being held on Lansdowne on Sunday 30th August.
The Senior Stableford on 4th August and Senior Medal on Tuesday 18th August are open to gents and ladies with more of these during September and October. Ladies pay a £1 entry for their sweep which will be paid out in two sections - the first being up to 20 handicap and the second for handicap of 21 and over. The age limit for ladies is 55 and over. This is a counting competition for handicap purposes. These are trials and if successful, will be included on a regular basis for the Senior ladies next year.
On Tuesday 11th we will be playing our Summer Meeting for the Thistle Bowl. There is no alternate day for this as time is short and there is still sufficient daylight to enable ladies to play in the evening.
Further Mixed competitions will be intimated shortly.
There is to be a white board at the foot of the stairs with the ladies' and wee course ladies' competition draws and results for you all to check. Our Wee Course ladies should get into the habit of entering online or at the Pro Shop for every Friday competition and check online or on the notice board on a Wednesday afternoon for the draw showing their partner(s) and time of play. Please ensure you all check in at the Pro Shop before play.
The computer for entering scores in the Clubhouse will be operational from 1st August. You need to sanitize your hands before using this.
There is still time to enter the draw for the mixed competition for the Lyle Trophy - the entry sheet for this is on the board at the foot of the stairs.
I wish you all good golfing for the remainder of the season.
Margaret Kerr
Ladies Captain
