Par-Tee @ The Island

We had a super day at our Par-Tee @ The Island entertaining 21 of our former lady members (apologies were received from another 20+ members/former members who were disappointed they couldn't make it).

Thanks to our ladies who delved to the back of their cupboards to find 'proper china' teacups for our afternoon tea.  Although the cups had to be re-filled on a regular basis cos 'they're not as big as mugs !'

There was a fair bit of nattering going on as our ladies served up the sandwiches (thanks Paul), tasty tit-bits (thanks to our lady bakers) and tea/coffee.  Some old photographs were stirring memories from years ago.  After we had our fill, we headed out to the putting green to play our 'Solheim Cup'.

The highlight of the target golf was Sheena's hole-in-one - the only one of the afternoon !  Fiona had the best score on the crazy golf with 8 shots to complete the course, with Betty Robertson a close 2nd (she hasn't lost her touch !).  No-one knew whether they were playing for Europe or USA in the putting, but I'm glad to say Europe won both games - is that an omen for the real thing in Sept ?!?

Everyone said how much they had enjoyed the afternoon so thanks to all of our ladies who contributed from making/distributing the invitations, helping set up, baking, flower arranging, 'taxi' driving and making the day go smoothly.

Maybe if we do it again in another 20yrs or so, I'll be coming along as a former member myself 👵

Ready & Waiting !

Perth Ladies Friendly Match

Our team of 4 headed to the North Inch on Wednesday, 22nd May for our second Friendly match of the season.  A different format was decided on from previous occasions with one lady from King Jimmy being paired with one lady from Perth Ladies.  As the name suggests it was a friendly afternoon resulting in a draw due to a misunderstanding where different teams scored using different formats!  However, it was all good fun, we were warmly welcomed, the food in the bowling club was much enjoyed and the weather was fair.  What more could we ask for?  Thanks to our team of  Moira C, Fiona, Dot and Linda M.

Handicap League Match v Blairgowrie 20 May 2019

Our first Handicap League match of 2019 was at home against Blairgowrie. Although the weather looked threatening, we never did need the umbrellas. After a convincing win over the visitors, it was a quick drink, traybake and dash over the bridge before it was closed at 10pm for repairs.

Thanks to the team of Moira L., Michelle, Dot, Pat & Noreen.  Well done and let's hope we can repeat this performance at the next match.

Alyth Friendly Match

Our first Friendly match of the season was played on 2nd May.  It was an away game for us at Alyth and the weather forecast was not good.  However, we were extremely lucky and it stayed dry the entire time (unlike at home in Perth)!

Thanks to our team of 6 - Agnes, Noreen, Linda M, Michelle, Dot and myself who tried their best, but unfortunately were beaten 2 & 1.  It was an enjoyable day - we were made to feel welcome and the food was good.  Better luck next year in the return match.
