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.
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

As most of you are probably aware, the greens maintenance program is underway. Temporary greens will be in play as work is carried out on the main green.
Please book your tee time for tomorrow . If you don't wish to submit a score , just don't enter the competition, but play anyway.
Sorry for inconvenience.
We were lucky again today as it was a beautiful day for our fun Australian Scramble. Thanks to Lilias and Pamela for organising - great job ! As many of you realised this event usually has no entry fee. As the charity TriAm was cancelled due to bad weather, we have decided that rather than return £5 to everyone, the money will be donated to the Captains Charity.
