AWAYDAY TO CRAIL - 23RD JUNE

Didn't we have a lovely day ......

We couldn't have picked a better day for our awayday to Crail - the sun was shining and, even if there was a bit of a breeze blowing, it wasn't bad by East Neuk standards.

We enjoyed coffee and breakfast rolls in the lounge before super-starter Don saw us off the first tee, even running down the slope to locate the odd errant ball.  Heather Dawson being unable to play was chauffeured around the course dispensing drinks and sweets before going back to the clubhouse to number-crunch the scores.  The links course presented its challenges and for those of us not used to links golf, it was a learning experience.  But the stunning views - and good company - compensated.  Afterwards, we enjoyed a two-course meal and (several) drinks 🍹before prizes were presented by Heather & Gill.

The return journey to Blairgowrie by coach 🚌 was smooth and, fortunately, singing was kept to a minimum!

While we were at Crail, a party of Crail ladies were playing Rosemount.  By all accounts, they too had a great day and were appreciative of the welcome they received.
