Well done everyone !!
In aid of Alzheimer Scotland, I will be running a "Guess the number of Golf Balls" competition for the month of April. This idea, I believe, originally came from one of the Wee Course Ladies, Jean Laburn who kindly donated a sleeve of golf balls, which I will incorporate into the prizes. (thank you Jean!)
I have put my own special spin on this..... have a look in the foyer of the golf club!
It costs £5 per guess (guess cards are available to purchase at the bar). Simply purchase and complete a card then pop it into the box.
Have a look at the exciting prizes on offer !!
The exact number of golf balls will be announced on 30th April. If there are cards with the same guess on it, a further draw will take place with the first drawn winning first prize and so on....
Good Luck everyone!
Fifty three ladies enjoyed sunshine and laughter in the Ladies Captain v. Vice Captain competition. The format for the day was 4BBB with a group photo on the 1st tee of Rosemount before the drive-in by myself (which was rather nerve racking!). Teams then headed off to their starting holes for the shotgun start at 10am.
The matches were played in a friendly manner with the Ladies Captain's team triumphant with a 31-17 win.
Post golf, thirty three ladies enjoyed a welcome drink, lunch and compared stories of their round.
Free raffle prizes were presented along with a gift of chocolates to everyone who stayed for lunch.
I would like to say thank you to everyone who played and/or were at the lunch.
I really appreciate you making my day so special. I wish you all the very best of luck for the coming golfing season but most of all.....I hope you have fun and make new friends along the way.
Here are a selection of photos.....
The last session of this winter's Ladies Afternoon Bridge took place today with a fun competition. Everyone kept a card with their Plus and Minus scores and the winner with 2201 points was Louise Whitehead, closely followed by Maureen Urquhart. There were consolation prizes for Ladies with Minus scores, but no names!
This year we are pleased to have had several ladies, who are relatively new to the game, joining in. Margaret Hunter, Moira Stewart and Maureen Reid have been on hand with help and advice and have noticed improvements in everyone’s card play as the weeks went by.
The Bridge sessions normally begin again in mid October. Details will be announced later in the year.
My thanks go to everyone involved in keeping this going after Noreen Fordyce left and also to Margaret Hunter for the report and lovely photos from today.
Another great turn-out of forty ladies, including some new ladies for the fun Pinehurst competition. Hazy sunshine tried to warm everyone up but the cool breeze made it very chilly.
The results were:
Winning team - Gill Tissell and Marion Kay with a nett 64 who were presented with golf balls.
Closely followed by runners-up Lynne Bell and Liz Fertacz with a nett 65 on c/b.
Congratulations to the winners! My thanks go to Heather Dawson for providing a report and photo.

After having the original match cancelled because of stormy weather, we were very relieved to arrive in Crail on a bright, sunny day for our final Winter League fixture.
The match was played on the Craighead course which was a first for some Blairgowrie ladies. The course presented many challenges with several well-placed bunkers, tricky greens and some stone dykes. All the matches were closely contested but in the end the home team prevailed with a 3-0 win. Afterwards we enjoyed soup and sandwiches and some friendly chat in the clubhouse.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

** Original date was 24th March - now 14th April **
As you may be aware, the dining room is being refurbished. The carpet will not be fitted until the first week in April and rather than cancel this event (I know lots of you were looking forward to it), Beginners Line Dancing will now take place on Monday, 14th April at 10.30am in the Dining Room.
Fiona Edwards will be there to teach you some moves and we hope to see as many of you there as possible.
I was delighted to see so many ladies at the Pre-Season Get Together. Thirty seven ladies enjoyed an evening of fun which started with a welcome drink and lots of mingling with friends new and old.
Barbara Lonsdale put on a fabulous display of her own hand-woven golf snoods, which proved to be very popular.
Raffle prizes were up for grabs and also some summer golf gloves on sale to complete your golfing look on the course.
A lovely one course meal followed by tea/coffee and tablet was enjoyed by all.
The highlight of the evening was our special guest speaker, Heather Dewar - the multi award winning and previously the first ever female BBC sports journalist in Scotland.
Heather spoke at length giving us a rare insight into the life of a female sports reporter. She shared stories of her own struggles which touched and inspired us all. Her key message ..... RESILIENCE. Never give up on your dream or anything you want in life.
The audience were captivated by her story and asked lots of great questions which she answered honestly.
I was able to go over some golfing items before we headed home.
My thanks go to........ all of you for coming along, the catering staff for providing us with a delicious meal and for looking after us so well on the night. To Barbara Lonsdale who worked tirelessly to create the golf snoods for the event. The office staff for helping to print and promote the event, to my Ladies Committee who helped make the evening so special and last but not least to Heather Dewar who gave up her time to share her story.
I am also delighted to let you know that we managed to raise £456 since our last event which will go to Alzheimer Scotland. Thank you so much for your kind donations.
Here are some photos of the evening.........
Another great turnout - this time for the 16 hole Texas Scramble.
Ten teams played on full greens on the Lansdowne course on another glorious spring day which was enjoyed by all.
Making up the winning team (on c/b) with a score of 57 were Fanny Christie, Alison Graham, Louise Luke and Moira Stewart who pipped the runners up Eileen Brown, Fiona Edwards, Jennifer Livingston and Gill Tissell into second place!
A golf ball will be left in the Ladies locker room for each player in the winning team. Congratulations !

Twenty Seven ladies attended this morning and enjoyed coffee and shortbread with plenty of chatter and smiles. One gent contributed £5 for his coffee and another couple of ladies also put £5 in. Heather Welsh gave a short speech encouraging ladies to play in this coming season's competitions.
Most Pars competition: Heather Dawson gave a small prize of one golf ball to Margaret Sturrock, runner up and Heather Walsh, winner, of the highest number of pars.
Thank you to everyone on the Ladies Committee who made today a success and to Heather Dawson who had the idea of the Most Pars competition for the Wee Course Ladies.
Twenty Nine Ladies played on full greens on Lansdowne in a fun 16 hole competition in teams of two or three. It was a beautiful Spring morning. Given the cold, strong winds earlier in the week, today's conditions were lovely.

Runners up were Angela Rooney, Margaret Johnstone and Freda Erskine scoring 141.
Golf balls will be left in the Ladies locker room for the winning team.
Congratulations to the winners and runner-ups.
