LADIES SUNDOWNER - TUESDAY 27 JUNE

We were hoping for this.......

But once again our Sundowner event was almost a wash-out after a day of constant rain, however eleven hardy ladies agreed to venture out in the belief that the drizzle would ease off, and were rewarded with clear skies for most of their game. Congratulations to the team with the best two out of three scores; Meriel Walker, Cassy Grant & Jo Menzies, with thanks to them, to Erica Espley, Fanny Christie & Morna Bell (runners up) and to Kathy Cameron, Anne Walker, Gill Tissell, Linda Rice and Elaine Robson for supporting this event.

Elaine managed to capture a couple of photos before the ladies ventured out! May be next year!

HANDICAP LEAGUE MATCH v KING JAMES VI - MONDAY 26 JUNE

We played our second handicap league match of the season against King James VI on Rosemount on Monday 26 June.  Fortunately the earlier rain gave way to a warm sunny evening, with some good golf enjoyed by all played with good spirit and in pleasant company. On this occasion our visitors played extremely well, gaining a win with a score of 4-1.

Thanks to Elaine Robson (team captain), Hannah Hislop, Gill Tissell, Heather Dawson and Fiona Edwards for representing the club.

FRIENDLY COMPOSITE MATCH WITH DUNBRACKEN & ST RULE - MONDAY 19 JUNE

Looking at the weather forecast for today over the weekend, the three team captain's were not convinced that this match would actually take place. However, it was decided yesterday that we would take a risk and our team was happy, if the weather didn't play ball, to have a coffee and a chat instead in the Dormy House at Gleneagles.

Our relaxing chat over coffee and a bacon roll before our game didn't take place as planned, as there was an issue over the start time and instead of teeing off at our planned tee time of 11.10am on the Queens Course, we were rushed onto the first tee an hour early. We did still manage to grab a coffee and a bacon roll which for some of us was drunk and eaten going down the first!

Thankfully, the weather was much better than forecast. When we arrived it was cool, windy with a bit of drizzle, but we all managed to complete the full 18 holes before the rain started in earnest. At times there was a bit of warmth in the sun and sun glasses were required!

We played in six teams of three, comprising a member from each club, in a fun format, a 'waltz', one score counting on the first hole, two on the second hole, three on the third, then repeated. The winning team was Elaine Robson, Ros Rentoul and Anne Ferrier with a score of 78 points.

After our game we enjoyed a delicious one course meal in the Dormy House.

Many thanks to the Blairgowrie ladies - Sue Waddell (Captain), Elaine Robson, Mary Hope, Gill Tissell, Meriel Walker and Fiona Edwards for representing the club.

The recent spell of warm and sunny weather continued when we welcomed the visiting ladies from Turnberry and St Rule on Thursday 15 June.  This fun fixture was played in six teams of three, comprising a member from each club, with the two best stableford scores at each hole counting for the team total.
