Christmas Wreaths

We were lucky to have the talented Anne Finnie to run 2 wreath making classes in the club.  16 ladies spent a fun time showing their artistic flare, making very professional door wreaths.  This was followed by a lovely Christmas spread and a glass of prosecco.  Our thanks go to Pauline MacEwan's sister and also to Leannna. 

Christmas Golf and Lunch

 We were lucky enough, on Wed 4th, to have a dry morning and so the 9 hole Competition was able to be played in good conditions.  28 ladies played a 2 ball better ball stableford and several more non golfers joined the players for a festive lunch.  Christmas jumpers were very much on display and there were a few ladies with Christmas head wear as well.  The result was very close and had to be decide on a countback, the winning pair were Louise Cooper and Chris Minto.  Best Chrismas outfit winner was Joy McLeod

The class will last 50 minutes, and takes place in the Golf Club, Wednesday at 6pm and Saturday 8am. 

Cost £12.50 pay as you go, or £40 for 4 classes. See Suzanne to book, or use the Spond app.
