WINTER SOCIAL EVENT: SKIN CARE FOR GOLFERS - Monday, 27th January

Thirteen Ladies braved horrible weather to attend the Skin Care for Golfers winter social event.

Michelle Roberts from Aesthetique started off with a moisturising face mask with hyaluronic properties.  She advocated a good exfoliator to start with to take all dead skin away, followed by a moisturising mask (credit to Cassy for volunteering!)

Cleansers and face moisturisers are vegan friendly and cruelty free.  

Tips are:  Use UV barrier creams on all exposed parts of the body; to rehydrate regularly; in winter take vitamin C and D.

There was a raffle for a chance to win a beauty treatment voucher to the value of £35 - Heather Dawson was the lucky winner!

£46 was raised on the day in aid of Alzheimer Scotland - thank you !

My thanks go to Pauline Hill who came up with the idea, Heather Dawson who led the event and also to Marion Kay who helped on the day.

Here are a few photos......

WINTER LEAGUE FRIENDLY v. ST MICHAELS - 19th January

Our ladies received a very warm welcome from our hosts when we visited St Michaels for our penultimate match in the inter-club Winter League.  We were all looking forward to playing this lovely course without fairway mats and on full greens and, although soft underfoot, it didn't disappoint.  The par 3's were as quirky and interesting as always, and the greens much faster than we have experienced at home recently!!

Our team were not wholly familiar with the course, with many playing there for the first time, however a strong performance resulted in a 2 1/2 to 1/2 win for Blairgowrie.

Post match we enjoyed soup and filled rolls in the clubhouse whilst we recounted the highlights of our most enjoyable day.

Many thanks to Margaret Johnstone, Louise Whitehead, Gill Tissell, Elaine Robson (team captain), Sheila Bruce and Teresa Lynch for representing the Club.

There was a great turnout of 21 ladies attending the first of the Ladies Section social events.

Louisa Johnston, Naturopath gave an informative and interactive presentation on ways to feel better and energised for the golfing season. She provided tips on what to eat for breakfast before and during the game and general health nutritional guidance including fats, protein and carbs. It was good to see ladies engaging in the discussions.

My thanks go to Morna Bell for organising the event and to Pauline Hill for taking photographs on the day.
