The morning rain cleared and our ladies enjoyed good weather in our friendly match away at Downfield today. Unfortunately the home team were only able to field a team of six. Rather than decide who was not going to play, we went with a full team and the six players were picked based on the least number of matches played to date.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on which way you looked at it, Meriel Walker and Anne Farquharson played in front of the three matches and enjoyed the course without the stress of playing match play.
Thanks go to Sue Waddell (Captain), Linda Rice, Carolyn Haddow, Maggie Marshall, Gill Tissell and Lorraine MacGregor for representing the club. All had a very enjoyable afternoon, the course was in fantastic condition, helped by the significant rain over the weekend which had taken some pace off the greens. After the match we all enjoyed an excellent two course meal in the clubhouse. The result was a loss of 2/1.
The Ladies Tri-Am Open held on Sunday 24th July was fully subscribed with 44 groups taking part in the 'Waltz' format. Although the weather held for the early players, the later groups were caught in heavy rain, although thankfully no thunderstorms.
Some Blairgowrie ladies featured among the prizewinners:
Mary Miller, together with Cruden Bay members June Cowie and Rachael McLean, won the Best Nett prize. Fifth best nett went to Liz Fertacz, Heather Anderson and Gillian Wallace.
Full details of all the scores and prizewinners can be found in the Opens Section of the Club website.

The third and final round of the Allison Trophy was played over 12 holes on the Wee Course today. Afterwards, the ladies enjoyed lunch and a friendly chat in the Dining Room.
The final results (best two out of three scores) are:
Winner - Elizabeth Tosh (86)
Runner-up - Kathy Cameron (91)
3rd place - Hazel Grant
The trophy will be presented at the Annual Prizegiving in November.
The spare place at Sunday's Tri-AM has been filled (and we have a reserve). Many thanks ladies!
