Congratulations to Alexandra Bushby and Gwen Lambie

Congratulations to Alexandra Bushby and Gwen Lambie who have been selected as part of the team to represent Perth and Kinross in the Northern Division Inter County Matches at Blairgowrie at the end of June. Blairgowrie are very proud to have two of their members on the team.  The Jamboree will take place on the Lansdowne Course 26th-28th June and the matches will be between Perth and Kinross, Angus and Aberdeenshire over the three days. Please come and support our girls if you can and if any of you would like to volunteer as a trolley puler, then that would be much appreciated. There is a sign up sheet up on the Perth and Kinross board in the ladies' locker room.

Tribute Night to the Rat Pack

On Saturday night Blairgowrie Golf Club hosted a most successful Tribute Night to the Rat Pack which was organised by Douglas Cleeton. Iain Hunter sang all the old favourites and a hundred guests attended and danced the night away. It was a lovely warm evening and during the break everyone went outside onto the terrace to chat and catch up with one another.  All in all it was a great evening and we look forward to many more. Thanks go to Kathy Cameron for taking the photographs.

Saying Farewell to Ron McLaren

Today many members gathered at the club house at Blairgowrie to say farewell to Ron McLaren. He was presented with a print of the Golf Club by Club Captain Roy Sinclair. Ron will have the picture framed in a frame of his choice which is all part of the gift. Ron was a great asset to Blairgowrie and he certainly will be missed by us all.

After the presentation, Ron said a few words of thanks which had us greatly entertained-especially when he told us how he avoided kissing the Blarney Stone on his recent visit to Ireland!

Here we have Ron wishing Douglas Cleeton all the best for the future.
