Social Evening.Thursday 23rd April 2015

Twenty seven ladies enjoyed a very entertaining evening.
Firstly, June Giles gave a moving account of the history of the charity 5oo Miles and we went on to take part in The Big Dinner.
Thanks to your generosity the sum of £312 was raised for the Charity. This was followed by an informative and humourous talk and powerpoint presentation by James Parker explaining the science behind greenkeeping and including the ever increasing role of women, and much much more.
A question and answer session followed --- We now know where to leave our bunker rakes and why sandy greens are a necessary evil!
Thank you to all who supported the event.

EASTER FUN COMPETITION

18 Ladies played in the Easter Competition which proved to be a little more of a challenge than expected.  Along with playing golf, we were searching for  Bunnies and, at times, the green was playing hide and seek as well! 
Over lunch the ladies showed off their creative side and sported some wonderfully original Easter Bonnets and a prize was awarded to Helen Crichton for  her efforts.
The winners of the golf were Anne Judge, Helen Dunn and Vicky Rennie with a score of 54 points.
Runners up were Sheila Biggart, Pamela MacKenzie and Alison Robertson with a score of 50 points.
A great day was had by all and a big thank you is due to Lilias Snodgrass and Chris Minto for their organisation of the event.
