There is a vacancy for one player for the 14.50 tee-time on Sunday's Tri-AM. The group had a last-minute cancellation and would be grateful if a Blairgowrie member could make up the threesome.
If you can help, please contact Sean in the office ASAP.
Thank you.
Blairgowrie hosted a Senior Open Qualifying Competition on both Rosemount and Lansdowne today in sweltering conditions. Approximately 230 players completed for a handful of places in the Senior Open taking place at Gleneagles this week. The players were complimentary about the condition of the courses and they certainly proved a challenge for some. The final qualifiers will be decided once all scores are in.
Many club members supported the organisers with various duties during the competition and practice days, including managing the car park, starting, scoreboard, ball spotting etc. Here are a few of the ladies who were on duty.
We enjoyed wonderful conditions when we welcomed the visiting ladies from Ladybank on 12th July. The course was in excellent condition and the match was played in warm sunshine and a cloudless sky. Thanks and congratulations to Elaine Robson (Captain) and her team of Eileen McMurray, Ruth Watson, Anne Farquharson, Marion Kay, Katie Chapman, Maggie Marshall and Meriel Walker, who brought home an impressive 4-0 win. Despite being defeated, the visitors expressed their compliments and thanks for their amazing day at our Club.
The third round draw in the Annodata Championships was an away match to Kirriemuir. The Blairgowrie team of Mary Miller (Captain), Anne Farquharson, Susan Arbuckle, Liz Fertacz and Fiona Johnston was outdone by the hosts, but all enjoyed playing the Kirriemuir course, which was in excellent condition, on a fine day. The result was a 3 1/2 - 1 1/2 win for Kirriemuir.
Thanks to everyone for playing - there's always next year ...!
The third round of the Allison Trophy (12 holes on the Wee Course) will be held on Wednesday 20th July and booking is now open.
Following the game, competitors will gather in the Dining Room for an informal lunch - order at the bar when you come in.
Good luck to all players!
Handicap League Match against Strathmore - Monday 4th July
The Handicap League fixture against Strathmore was due to have been played on Monday 30th May, but had to be abandoned because of inclement weather. It was finally played - in much more pleasant conditions - on Monday 4th July.
The result was a 3-2 win for Strathmore.
Thanks to the Blairgowrie ladies - Mary Miller (Captain), Eileen McMurray, Hilary Inglis, Fiona Edwards and Jacqui Doig.
Friendly Match against St Rules Ladies - Monday 4th July
The sun shone, the Eden course was immaculate and the wind blew! We were made very welcome by the St. Rule ladies as always. The Old Course is being set up for the 150th Open which made it very special to be playing in the centre of it all. Our pairings were very evenly matched. Blairgowrie had two wins from Christine Ogilvie and Jacqui Landsburgh and Sheila Bruce and Heather Dawson. Anne Farquharson and Carolyn Haddow had a very tight match and halved theirs and Linda Rice (team captain) and Angela Rooney just failed on theirs. Our next treat was walking from the Eden clubhouse along the 16th, 17th and 18th holes on the Old Course up to St. Rule ladies clubhouse where we had a glass of Prosecco and a delicious afternoon tea of sandwiches, scones, strawberries, strawberry tarts and lemon posset. A good day was enjoyed by all.
The Blairgowrie team soaking up the atmosphere!
