The 11th May saw Blairgowrie Golf Club bathed in warm sunshine when the North Team arrived for our annual match, to be played on the Rosemount Course. Following a relaxed morning of bacon rolls/coffee and a general catch up between players, as many already knew one another from a different golf setting.
Prior to the match Fiona Johnston, Midland Captain, made a presentation, of a framed tapestry depicting a Lady Golfer, to the Blairgowrie Managing Secretary, Stuart Wilson and his admin staff, for all their assistance in hosting this event.
All the pairings with announced onto the tee by Tim Edwards, our starter, after individual photos were taken under the shade of the May blossom.
The standard of golf was extremely high, a testimony to the low handicaps the players play off and a great spectacle for us Team Captains to witness. The games were very close with the resulting honours going to the North Division.
The match was followed by a 2 course meal in the dinning room, before final team photos with taken with the trophy.
