Away Match Monday 22nd June 2009

Our next away match is now looming against Aberfeldy on Monday and we still do not have a full team.

The object is to get 10 names on the board by end of play Thursday, we only have 6 plus one provisional at this time. If you have already played Aberfeldy that strengthens the team, if you have not, then surely a round on a new course for the price of your meal is an offer to be snapped up.

Seniors Away Day - 18th August 2009 - Ballater

I want to firm up with Ballater on the tee times we require for this outing so can I ask all of those who want to play on the day (it's a Tuesday) to put their names on the list at the clubhouse and pay their GBP10 deposit to the office, either by cheque or cash in an envelope addressed to ERNIE WASTELL by the end of June.

For those who have written their names on the list but not yet paid their deposit could you please do so now.

All the best

Results for Thursday 11th June

Pat Duffy won the event with 37 pts on a count back from Garry Stewart (37pts), with Gordon Ewen 3rd on 36pts.

Both Pat and Garry will be pleased to know that their efforts have resulted in a 1 stroke reduction in their respective handicaps.

Well done

The conditions were changeable at the start with a South Westerly breeze making it almost feel like summer. A change in the wind direction to North Westerly changed summer to spring until the sun forced its way through in late morning. The course itself played long as a result of the downpour that hit the region for several hours overnight.


Thursday's Counting Stableford tee times were:-

9.00 Jack Rough; Mel Kidd

9.07 George Dolby; Jim Donnelly; Graham Bullock

9.15 Ken MacLeod; John MacFarlane; Graeme Hunter

9.22 Ernie Wastell; Jim Davidson; Garry Stewart

9.30 Jim Ross; David Robinson;

9.37 Pat Duffy; George Allan; Ian Strachan

9.45 David Johnston; John Brand;

9.52 John Barr; Gordon Ewen; Alex Sutherland

Result from Match v Royal Perth on 9th June

Congratulations to our depleted team which achieved a first away result in the Seniors' history. A hard won draw (2.5/2.5)was just reward in an afternoon that saw only one short, heavy downpour of rain followed by sun.

The gentlemen of Perth were perfect hosts and the course was in very good condition, albeit that the greens were much slower than we have grown accustomed to playing at Strathmore.

NEXT MATCH - V ABERFELDY on Monday the 22nd with a 1.00pm tee off. Get your name down and lets hope for a full contingent.

The pairings for the match with Royal Perth on Tuesday, 9th of June were:-

1) Ernie Wastell & John Brand

2) Bob Greig & Ron Haynes

3) David Robinson & David Johnston

4) Peter Tinker & George Allan

5) George Dolby & Jack Rough.

Venue was North Inch Golf Course, Perth

All the best
