Gillian Wallace has reached the semi-finals of the  Net Match Play Championship.    She defeated  Rita Dee of Kingsknowe 4 & 2 this evening  and will now face Lorraine Campbell of Cardross  on Friday morning. 

**UPDATE ** Gillian's fine run has come to end.  She lost 3 & 2  this morning to Lorraine Campbell. Our commiserations to Gillian, but also congratulations on reaching the semi-finals.

UPDATE FROM SCOTTISH SENIOR LADIES

After a rain-delayed start at West Linton this morning  Heather Anderson began the defence of her Scottish Senior Ladies Matchplay Champion in tough, windy conditions. Sadly Heather was defeated 6 & 5 by Kathleen Sutherland of Royal Montrose.
In the  1st Round of the  Net Match Play  section  there was  mixed fortunes. Gillian Wallace  defeated Anne Hanson of Glencorse 2 & 1,  but Sandy Bushby lost to Susan MacVicar of  Gairloch 4 & 3.
We wish Gillian all the best  in the Quarter Finals, being played at the moment.  Result later.

VARIOUS RESULTS 02/07/2013

The weather was looking a bit dodgy for  Turn Up And Play today,  but nine enthusiastic ladies came along to  take part in the fun Tri-am.  One team wished to play only 12 holes,  so the competition was divided into two sections.  The winners of the 12 hole competition were Jean Laburn, Birte Buckett and Christine Smith and the winners of the 18 hole competition were Heather Dawson, Jen Geddes and Katie Chapman.
Thanks to all who came along and to the weather, which was kind to us!
KATY CHAPMAN

Our match at Strathmore in the afternoon  was played in heavy rain.  The Match also  clashed with the Scottish Foursomes Competition,  so after taking  well over 3 hours for 12 holes, both Captains consulted their teams and we decided to  conclude the Match at the 12th Hole  and take the result from the scores as they stood at the 12th. The result was a win for Blairgowrie by 2.5 to 1.5.
Special thanks are due to Ann Henry who  stood in for  Brenda Clough at the last minute. Ann had already played 12 holes in the Turn Up And Play  when she  was asked if she could fill in for Brenda. The other Team members today were Margaret Hunter, Barbara Lyburn, Doreen Johnston, Janette Hamilton, Fiona Barron, Sue Dunbar and  Avril Smith.

TUESDAY 2nd July  : TURN UP AND PLAY
This month's Turn Up And Play will take place  on Rosemount with Katy Chapman in charge.  Katy is planning a fun Tri-am. We have tees booked from 9.03am until 10.06am, so please get to the Locker Room  by 8.45am if you would prefer an early tee off time, and by 9.30am at the latest.
Unfortunately Turn Up And Play clashes with our friendly match against Strathmore (away), so some ladies won't  be around to  support this fixture, but we are  still hopeful of a good turn-out.
