Friendly match v Craigie Hill 7th July

The annual match for the Craigisle Trophy took place last Sunday, 7th July, this year at Craigie Hill.🏌
There were two greensome matches each resulting in KJVI losing at the 13th hole.  So once again Craigie Hill retain the trophy.  🏆
Thanks to Linda M, Liz and Karen for trying their best (I was the other team member) Maybe next year on home turf?...

Handicap League v Alyth

We had a really friendly game with our opposition from Alyth on Saturday.  It was so friendly, we ended up drawing the match.  So far, that's one win, and two draws in the league - an improvement from last year !  Thanks to Karen, Agnes, Liz & Dot (can't really thank myself) for turning out for the game.

Handicap League Match v Murrayshall

We kept our undefeated run going with a good draw away to Murrayshall today- no thanks to me as I got trounced ! We all enjoyed our day with our friendly and welcoming opposition with most games being closely contested.  Thanks to our captain for the day, Karen along with Moira L.,  Liz and Linda G. who completed the team.  We also got to see their new changing rooms and golfer's lounge area !

Ladies Open Tri-Am 16 Jun 2019

Great to see 17 teams turn out for our Open Tri-Am today - even though the weather could have been kinder, it takes more than a clap of thunder or flash of lightning to put us off !  The 'treats' tent at the 10th went down very well - most of us could probably have spent the rest of the afternoon there, but alas we had a game to finish 😋

The scores made it a close-run finish with the victors coming out on top - Sue Hay from Liberton along with our own Liz Angus and Noreen Caie on 147 bih.

In second place also on 147 (bih again !) was Euphan Stewart (Murrayshall) playing with our Linda Gray and Fiona Farquharson.  Unfortunately Euphan left before we managed to get her photo!

In 3rd place and still on 147, were our first time visitors from Dunbracken, Shelagh Quinn, Tricia Chillas and Janet Muirhead.

Nearest The Pin was won by our Linda Mailer and Nearest the Line was won by Shona Leighton from Alyth.

Well done to all the prizewinners !
 
Thanks to everyone who helped with the preparations and assisted on the day - Committee, lady bakers, Dennis Hogg (gazebo puter-upperer), our starters in the shop, greens staff, Paul & his team, Juniors for helping with trolleys and to everyone who donated and bought raffle tickets.  Another successful day at King Jimmy's 😃

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.
