Friendly Match at Strathmore

The last of our Friendlies this season was played on 9th August.  This time it was an away match at Strathmore.  Our team of Dot, Donna, Michelle, Agnes, Noreen and Helen tried their best but sadly lost all 3 of their matches. 

At least 2 of the matches finished on the 15th which was very convenient for retiring to the clubhouse !

Never mind ladies - there's always next year!  Plenty time to practice and gain more experience from playing other courses.

Outing to Aberdour 5 Aug

What a lovely day we had by the seaside at Aberdour !

15 ladies played in the Tri-am with Annette joining our happy band as on-course photographer for the day.

The course was tricky from the very start.  At the very daunting 1st hole, which turned out to be more tricky for some of us than others,  I'm sure I saw ball-spotters in their kayaks on the Forth.

The views across the Forth were superb - when we didn't have to concentrate on our shots of course.

As none of the King Jimmy ladies featured in the prizelist, it's just as well we had our own little in-house competition.

Karen, Iris & Michelle won the team prize with a score of 150
Linda won nearest the pin on the 7th
Pam won the Endeavour Prize
Fiona won the sweepy (as no one thought she would have had the best individual score !)

A good day was had by all 🏌🍹🥘

Handicap League match v Muckhart 25 July

Our last Handicap League match of the season was played at home against Muckhart.  It was another beautiful warm summer's evening and the course was looking good after such a long dry spell.  We lost 3 of our matches, halved one and won one.  Maybe not the result we were looking for but enjoyable all the same.  However, there's always the return match next year to look forward to and plenty of time to practice! Thanks to our team of Moira L, Karen, Agnes, Noreen and Pat.

Craigisle Match 9 Jul

Friendly match against Craigiehill for the Craigisle trophy took place last Sun at KJVI 

Two teams participated and unfortunately we were pipped at the post ,both games going to the 18th green. 

A win and a halved match for Craigiehill and so they retain the cup 🏆😢

Thanks to Iris, Alison, Pam and Donna for trying their best.

Handicap League Match at Alyth 21 June

Thursday saw a beautiful summer's evening at Alyth. For myself the longest day took on a whole new meaning as I explored some of the lesser seen areas of the course. Dot won her match but unfortunately the other 4 of us lost, although we all had a good time.  Thanks to Dot, Moira L, Michelle, Agnes and Pat for taking part.  We look forward to doing better in the return match next year.

Ladies Open Tri-am Sun 17 Jun

Another successful Ladies Tri-am was held at King Jimmy's yesterday! 

Thankfully the weather stayed dry, just maybe not as warm as we've been used to recently.

The Lady Captain's team were the leaders in the clubhouse for some time (they were out first !).........until the last few of the 12 teams came in !

Congratulations to Agnes Manattini, Donna Nixon & Moira Aitken (Dunning) who came out on top with a score of 129, followed by Dorothy Whytock, Diana Alston & Jean Jasper (both Murrayshall) on 138, and in 3rd place Michelle McKay, Sheena Scott & Sandra Barber (both Strathmore) on 140.

Nearest the Pin was won by Karen Brodie, and Straightest Drive won by Donna Nixon.

Thanks go to all who supported the event including some new visitors from Strathmore, Royal Musselburgh, Swanston, Strathaven & Pumpherston golf clubs.  Hopefully we'll see them again next year.  

Thank to those who donated raffle prizes and bought raffle tickets. One of our visitors, Linda Allan from Strathaven, won the golf carry-bag and told me it was exactly what she needed - not often you're lucky enough to get something from a raffle that you actually want/need ! Mind you, she probably hadn't expected to come over with one bag and have to carry two back😅  

Thanks also to the greens staff, bar/catering staff, the Junior and his 'not-so junior' assistants (!) for helping ladies with their clubs & Moira C. for her floral decorations. 

All-in-all, a good day was had by all👍
