On Friday 22nd July we held the Captain’s Outing. This year and last we have held our ‘away day’ at
home. This did not in any way detracted from the enjoyment!! A good number of ladies took to the field
in teams of 3, a tri-am Stableford competition and ladies played for the Captain’s Outing Shield. The
weather was fair and most ladies managed to get round dry.
There were 2 awards for this competition and the
outright winner was Lana Wilson with an amazing
42 Stableford points. The team award went to:
Roberta McTaggart, Lana Wilson, Georgie Pollock
Congratulations to our winners. The trophy
and prizes were presented by Fiona McFee our
current lady captain. Fiona and her team were
given a huge vote of thanks for all their efforts
and hard work in making the day so successful.
Finals Day was held on 13th August. Fortunately
the sun shone all day.
The Bronze Shield finalists were Chantal
Robertson and Hazel Kirkland. Both ladies gave
Fiona presenting Lana with the Shield
it their very best, but as always someone has to
win.
This year it was Hazel Kirkland congratulations
and well done Hazel!! The Ladies Championship
finalists were Fiona McPhee and Jen Owen. It
was a very exciting game and went right to the
18th hole!!
Fiona sustained her 1 stroke lead from 17th hole
to win the trophy!! Congratulations and well
done Fiona. Formal presentation of trophy will
be at Ladies Annual Dinner later in the year.
