CONGRATULATIONS MOIRA AND FIONA!!

The Ladies' Club Championships were held on King Jimmy at the weekend. It was a repeat of last year's finals with Moira Lumby and Fiona Farquharson fighting it out for the Scratch and Handicap Titles.

In a reverse of last year's results, Moira beat Fiona 3&1 on Saturday to claim the Club Championship for the first time. On Sunday Fiona beat Moira 4&2 to take her first Handicap Championship.

Well played ladies.

Island Greensomes

A popular fixture is the Island Mixed Greensomes, open to Gents, Ladies, Seniors and Juniors. The format of the annual Mr & Mrs Mixed Competition was changed a couple of years ago to widen its appeal.  All members were invited to enter in any combination of male and female partnerships.

Mums, Dads, Grans, Grandads & Kids – even pals. You could even enter without a partner and we would endeavor to find you one!

Winners this year with an incredible net 64 (15) were junior member Alexander Ewen and our Ladies captain Moira Lumby (and no he doesn't have to marry her because they won!) 

Runner's up were Agnes and Stuart Manattini 69.8 (10.2) - looks like Mum wasn't happy about that missed putt Stuart!

The Mr and Mrs Trophy was retained by Liz and David Angus 70.6 (16.4) - what some people will do to save polishing the trophies!

 

LADIES OUTING 2015

The Ladies took themselves off to Dunnikier Country Park for their golf outing this year. Unfortunately our usual mini bus was not available so we had to press gang some poor souls into being the nominated drivers for the day  .  Well done girls and thank you! Margaret, Agnes and Annie arrived eventually with the help of two satnavs and a mobile phone - don't ask!  Team one were at a disadvantage from the start with only two players and a scorecard for the wrong course. The weather was kind and we had one of the warmest days of the summer so far. The course is beautiful - wide open fairways and lots of run. Unfortunately that also applied to the greens where most of us experienced our puts running straight past the hole and off the green.  There were some excellent scores returned with team Agnes, Iris and Dot returning the winning scores (as it turned out in all categories) so the One Prize per Person rule came into force.  Congratulations also to Liz and Sheena. We all had a wonderful day, sunshine, good food and excellent refreshments! Plans are now underway for the next one.

We had a very close finish at the Jubilee Greensomes with only 0.2 between 1st and 2nd and 0.2 between 2nd and 3rd. Thank goodness maths genius's Pat and Liz were on hand to check the scores!

Ladies Open Tri-Am

When I heard the pitter patter of rain on my skylight early this morning my heart fell - but no, the weather forecast told me that the rain was to cease in Perth at 10am and true to form it did (well nearly). Today was a change of format for our Ladies Open and all the competitors were very complimentary about how the day went, how good the course was looking (despite the overnight rain)and what a warm welcome they received from all King Jimmy - from the juniors who helped with their clubs over the bridge, to the Ladies committee and members, to Matthew and Allan in the pro shop and of course to Paul, Mike and Ronnie who looked after their catering needs so well. The results were:- Winners:- Caroline Henderson (Aberfeldy); Shona Leighton (Alyth); Moira Lumby (KJVI) - 62

R's/up:- C Hill (Buchanan Castle); S Steele; (Buchanan Castle); S McKenzie (Balfron) - 64

Nearest the Pin (5th hole):- C Haddow (Blairgowrie) Straightest Drive (18th hole):- J Jasper (Murrayshall) Crazy Putting:- Liz Angus (KJVI) 14 putts - determination is a wonderful thing!

The first of our Saturday Texas Scrambles was held to day. the scoring was extremely close. the winners won by only 0.1! Special mention must be made to the runners up who came back in 33 - a credible 3 under par. Well done to all. Future dates are Saturdays:- 25th July, 22nd August, 26th September Pictured are this weeks winning team of Fiona Farquharson, Michelle Mckay and Sheena Macgregor
