Today, although cold to begin with, 23 ladies ventured out to play the final round of the Winter League and as in previous weeks the scores were very close. Due to recent frost we were back on Winter greens, which proved tricky at times, however, this did not deter Jo from chipping in for a birdie on the 2nd green.  

Congratulations also goes to Doreen Johnston who had a hole in one on the 1st on the Wee Course.

Next week, the 15th March is the Mad March Medley, teams of 3 and a mixed draw and on the 22nd, a Texas Scramble, again teams of 3 and a mixed draw.  The 29th March sees the start of our New Summer Season with the Captain v Vice Captain match, which is now open online. So please ensure you get your name down for this event which is followed by a meal in the dining room.

LAST WINTER SOCIAL FOR 2019

Well done Lis, a Great Morning

Today was our last Winter Social of the season, and for those who attending, there were skills to learn, beauty to be seen and an air of relaxation as Lis Ridsdale shared her knowledge with the group. Lis took us step by step through the process of creating different size floral displays.  We were all given the opportunity to create our own, with the finished article being pleasing, I'm sure, to our own eye.  The numbers today, may have been affected by the golf coaching sessions which were in full swing, please excuse the pun, however, all present had a great morning.

I would like to thank Lis again and also to extend an overwhelming thanks to Jo Stuart and Pauline Hill for co-ordinating all the Socials for us this winter.  Thank you.

The Committee will be looking for your suggestions later in the year for 2020, so please put on your thinking caps as these events need planning.

WINTER SOCIAL REMINDER

Please note that our last Winter Social for this season is on Monday 4th March, with our own Lis Ridsdale entertaining us with her Flower display skills.  I would ask you to come along to support Lis and pick some new tips.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Lady members who have given up their time to volunteer to deliver a very interesting programme of activities since the turn of the New Year.  My thanks also goes to Jo Stewart and Pauline Hill for having co-ordinated the programme and introduced us to some new activities and adventures which have proved popular.  

Many thanks again to all

Scores were very close, but Caroline had an outstanding score of Net 44.

In the clubhouse, the ladies enjoyed refreshments and some a light lunch, followed by the Lady Captain updating the members on March's forth coming events and the presentation of today's golf balls. Next Friday 8th March, is the final game of the Winter League and the Stanley Clark Trophy, so it is all to play for.  Good luck to all.
