FRIENDLY MATCH v CRAIL - 20th May

Our ladies thoroughly enjoyed the match against Crail on the stunning Balcomie Links course on Monday 20 May. The weather was fantastic with clear blue skies, minimal wind, which is very unusual for Crail, and it was even warm enough to play without our jumpers! 

After the match the teams enjoyed a tasty two course meal in the Clubhouse.  All of the four matches were keenly contested, however local knowledge prevailed and the home team secured a win of 3/1.  Well done to Liz and Linda for winning their match.  Thank you to Sue Waddell (team captain), Fiona Edwards, Fiona Johnston, Carolyn Haddow, Anne Walker, Sheila Bruce, Liz Fertacz and Linda Rice for representing the Club, and to Sue for the match report and photos.

HANDICAP LEAGUE MATCH v CRIEFF - 19th May

 

The first Handicap League fixture of the season took place at Crieff on a dry and pleasant afternoon.  The course was in excellent condition so all the elements were in place for a good contest.  The home team was in fine form and unfortunately defeated our ladies in every match.  However, the Blairgowrie ladies enjoyed playing the course and there was a friendly atmosphere over drinks following the match.

Thanks to the Blairgowrie team of Angela Rooney, Fiona Johnston, Heather Dawson, Gill Tissell (team captain) and Marion Kay.

FRIENDLY MATCH v CARNOUSTIE CALEDONIA - 29th April

We hosted the ladies from Carnoustie Caledonia for our third friendly match of the summer season.  Unfortunately, the rain which started early in the day did not relent and the waterproofs were donned and brollies were up from the start.  Despite the weather, the course was in good condition and this was commented upon by our visitors; grateful thanks to our hardworking greenkeeping staff. 

Although our team put up a brave challenge, we were unable to match the visiting ladies who were victorious in all 4 matches - congratulations to them.  Despite the loss and the rain, we all enjoyed a good blether on and off the course, followed by a delicious 2 course meal which was much appreciated. Thank you to Tina and the team. 

My sincere thanks to Morna Bell, Fiona Edwards, Anne Farquharson (team captain) Denise Ginley, Fiona Johnston, Marion Kay, Mary Miller and Meriel Walker for representing the Club.
