Update on Competitions, etc.

 

Our knock-out competitions and friendly matches are now to be entered online with the entries closing on 31st March.     The Fixture List will be published shortly but now that we are to be longer in lockdown than anticipated, it has been agreed that the March and April fixtures will not go ahead.  You will by now have received the Club’s email regarding bookings from members outwith the Perth & Kinross Council area – we hope Covid restrictions on travel will be lifted soon.    In the meantime, we should continue to book online (heeding the travel restrictions imposed) -  we are permitted only to play in 2s and this will unfortunately continue until Covid 19 restrictions are relaxed.  

The following friendly matches will be either postponed or cancelled because of the existing rules in place regarding travel.

 Senior Gents v Ladies (Columbine Cup)

Match away to Forfar

Match away to Elie

Handicap league match v Auchterarder

It has been decided to hold the match between the Ladies Captain and Vice Captain on Tuesday 22nd June – this will replace the Sundowner.  We have arranged for this to be an afternoon draw from 4.30 p.m. onwards over both courses which means that our ladies who work will be included and able to take part with an evening time.   We hope to have coffee/tea, sandwiches and strawberry tarts after play. 

To date we have 43 new members, four of which are ladies.    I still await their names but I believe Joan is currently sending the welcome packs out to them and I look forward to seeing them on the courses and having a chat with them.

This year, once more we find ourselves living in difficult times but if everyone adheres to the rules, we will be able to look forward to enjoying competitive golf once more.

I will keep you updated with news regarding our future competitions and mixed events.

 Margaret Kerr, Ladies Captain.
