Mixed Open Greensomes

How lucky were we with the weather yesterday for our Mixed Open Greensomes !

27 couples took part, 12 of them Island pairings.  Numbers were up on last year - maybe we benefited from those visiting the area for the Solheim Cup.

It was nearly a clean sweep for King Jimmy Members - 

Scratch Winners: Moira Lumby & Tam McLaren 79 (beating the Joss's from Carnoustie on the bih, to retain their trophy)

Handicap Winners: Moira Chapman & Neil Fraser  65.6 (22.4) who also won the Lennon Trophy (Best Island Couple)

Runners-up:  Sheilah Mitchell (from Market Rasen GC) & Charlie Scrim 68.2 (13.8) bih.  Charlie really impressed his partner by holing his tee shot at the 15th !

3rd place:  Linda Gray & Gary Sievwright  68.2 (12.8)

Outing to Niddry Castle

It was a fun(?) and interesting day out at Niddry Castle's Tri-am.  From our bus driver Graham's expert boot-filling, Iris's melt in the mouth tablet,  the blind summits, the 40 or so lost balls, the welcome halfway cake table, the unexpected Volvo hazard....it was certainly a day to remember😉

After we had enjoyed a lovely meal, even though none of us figured in the prizelist (no surprise there), our King Jimmy winners on the day were Iris, Lesley & Moira L.

Thanks to Linda and Karen for organising the day - including the calorie free dessert !

Thanks to Fiona for making up the 'fun' Solheim Cup quiz and to Moira L for taking her car on the day.

Big question - who's Agnes going to arm-twist to return to Niddry to use the 4 Ball Voucher she won !!

 

Championship Finals Day

What a beautiful afternoon we had for our Ladies Finals Day.

In the Scratch Final Linda Gray, in her first time of trying, played Moira Lumby and came out on top after a very good game to win her first title at King James VI.

The Handicap title was a competition between Fiona Farquharson and Agnes Manattini with Fiona winning that one.

Nice to see lots of ladies out supporting our finalists too.

Congratulations to Linda and Fiona.
