Some More Information

It may come as news to some ladies that we have three divisions for handicap purposes for all competitions i.e. Handicap 1 to 20.4 is now Gold; Handicap 20.5 to 36.4 is now Silver; and 36.5 to 54 is now Bronze.  You may have noticed this on the results sheets which Dawn has been posting on the downstairs notice board. 

The Ladies Operating Principles have now been finalised and are currently with the Rules Review Committee for approval.   Once they are, they will be emailed to all lady members and then passed to the Managing Secretary to go to the Club Committee and Annual General Meeting.

Please note that any lady who plays in the allotted times on the alternate days is deemed to have entered the competition and if she fails to return her card, it will be recorded as a No Return.

There are one or two spaces available for the Tri-Am  and there is still time to enter a team -  the Tri-Am is  to be held on Thursday, 8th October.  

Congratulations and good luck to the finalists, Mary Miller and Liz Fertacz playing  for the Jessie Valentine Trophy and to  Jacqui Landsburgh and Brenda Clough playing for the Coronation Trophy.

The Centenary Medal is to be played for on Tuesday, 20th October on Rosemount - ladies should book their own times and partners and tell the Pro Shop that they are competing.  The alternate day for this will be  Sunday, 18th October.   The winner is the lady with the best net score overall.   

The draft Ladies Fixtures (including Wee Course) for 2021 have now gone to the office with dates mirroring this year as far as possible.

With the Covid19 restrictions at present in place, our Committee meetings are not permitted but I will  keep you updated as best I can on current matters.  Please let a member of  the Committee know if  you have any queries or there is anything you want to report.

Ladies,

Please note that you can  can read a short  history of the Blairgowrie Ladies Golf Club on the main Club website under News and Events. As requested by Robin Duncan, Margaret Hunter wrote the story and it took her quite an amount of time to do so.  There are also four pictures to help you see what the old days looked like.     We think it would  be  good to share the story with Ladies so please do take the time to have a look at the article.

News and Annual Meeting information

Finally, we managed last Friday to get Sheila Ritchie's photograph with the Patience Trophy for her Hole in One and I have updated the book which is kept in the trophy cabinet in the Clubhouse.

I obtained permission to present a silver medal for the centenary of the formation of The Blairgowrie Ladies Golf Club in 1920.  This is to be played for on Tuesday 20th October.  Ladies should book their own times and partners and indicate at the Pro Shop if they wish to play for this.  Thereafter, the medal will be played for annually.   Here is what it looks like.

 9th October was the original date for the Ladies Annual Meeting but as we are unable to hold this, the Ladies Committee elected to keep to this date for the sake of notices, etc.  In view of this, Steven Morgan will be sending out a notice to all ladies (with a copy on our notice boards) to keep them informed.  We have approved the 2019 Annual Meeting Minutes and nomination forms have been passed to Steven for Nora and myself to continue for 2021.  The Minutes will be posted online within the next few days.  You will all have heard that the Club Committee have set aside the Ladies Management Agreement - a replacement document called Operating Principles for the Ladies Section will be made  available to the ladies once completed and approved.

In the meantime, please keep alert and stay safe.
