We Have a New Committee in Place

You may be aware that at the AGM there was a great concern about the sustainability of the Association because we did not have a Committee to continue with the administration required in order to keep the Association going this year.

Following the meeting, a small number of volunteers have come forward to take on the main administration roles with some doubling up/sharing duties, which will allow the Association to not only continue but hopefully thrive over time.

Your new Committee Members are:

Morag Wardrop                                    Acting Captain / Secretary

Anne MacGregor                                 Acting Vice Captain/ Webmaster         

Elaine Moffat                                       Treasurer

Anna Hunter                                        Secretary

Elinor Arkley                                        Merchandise

Sheila Travers                                     Committee Member

 

The new Committee are busy getting up to speed with what needs to be done for the coming golfing season.  Meanwhile if anyone else feels that they are able to offer any help no matter how small, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

 

Best wishes,

 

Morag Wardrop

MVLGA SUMMER MEETING AND CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL AT KINROSS GOLF CLUB

 SVLGA (Midland Division) Championship

The Final of the Midland Vets Ladies Championship between Alison Davidson (Stirling) and Lorna McKinlay (Dunnikier) was held today in initial sunshine, with the threat of heavy rain, which in the end only resulted in very little showers lasting only minutes. From the 15th onwards, we were back into full sunshine, which was enjoyed by all.

The course was in good condition, with the green s and pin positions being quite tricky. However, it was acknowledged by all players and the Professional that the bunkers were in very poor condition. A situation I have been informed is being addressed by the Club's Committee.

The standard of play in the Quarter-finals yesterday and the Semi-finals this morning proved to be of a very good standard and this was only to be built on in the final.  The supporters following the game were treated to some great golf by both players, with challenging putts to win or half the holes.

The match was nip and tuck throughout, with Lorna only 1 up approaching the 18th. Congratulations, however, goes to Lorna McKinlay, who won the match 2 up on the 18th.  The presentation of the Lady McInnes Shaw Cup was made in the Clubhouse, in the presence of the supporters.  Lorna will now represent the Midland Division of the SVLGA Championship at Blairgowrie in September.

RESULTS OF 9 HOLE COMPETITION AT MILNATHORT GOLF CLUB

 Today despite the early rain, 12 ladies played in our first ever 9 hole competition. The suggestion for such an event was aimed to attract some ladies who feel unable to now complete 18 holes.  While this target was not achieved on this occasion, but hose who played enjoyed the day, with players staying to eat and chat with one another.

Due to the small numbers, only 3 prizes will be awarded. 1 for best Scratch, 1 for Division 2 and 1 for Division 3.  The validity of hosting another such competition next year will be reviewed by the Committee.

Scratch Winner -  Linda McDonald, Ladybank Golf Club - Gross 40

Division 2 Winner - Jean Hill, Tulliallan Golf Club - Nett 39

Division 3 Winner - Kathryn Champness, Muckhart Golf Club

I would like to thank Sheila Travers and Elinor Arkley for their support on the day and Sheila for making the arrangements for the competition.

INTER-DIVISIONAL MATCH BETWEEN THE MIDLAND AND WEST DIVISIONS ON 27th MAY

 Monday of this week saw the last of our Inter-Divisional matches for the season and I would like to thanks the ladies who were available and able to play on the day.  I had been informed on the Sunday that the course at Auchterarder was closed due to wet weather, but we were fortunate that the early sunshine on Monday morning made the close playable, especially as the West team were travelling from as far afield as Troon.

As planned the teams enjoyed bacon rolls with coffee/teas prior to our match teeing off at 11.00am. The threatening rain did not emerge until later in the day, when most groups were on the last few holes.  The final result, I feel, does not reflect the closeness of the matches, with 4 matches being decided on the 18th green.

As is our procedure, a two course meal followed the match along with the presentation of the trophy, which on this occasion saw the West being the winners.  Excluding the overall result, a good day was had by all, with many friendship meeting up on the day.

My thanks goes to the team of Charlotte Wighton, Margaret Tough, Fay Ronaldson, Shonia Hutchison, Myrtle Gilbert, Evelyn Hamilton and Fiona Johnston.

Fiona Johnston lost to Margaret Stewart

Charlotte Wighton beat Carol McNally

Margaret Tough lost to Fay Alexander

Fay Ronaldson lost to Anabel Kean

Shona Hutchison lost to Gillian Pollock

Evelyn Hamilton lost to Caroline King

INTER-DIVISIONAL MATCH AGAINST THE EAST-DIVISION

 This was our second Inter-Divisional match of the season and it took place at Ladybank Golf Club.  Again we were blessed with good weather and it was great to see both teams on the practice areas prior to the games, following the coffee/tea and bacon rolls in the clubhouse.

The course was in very good condition with beautiful sand in the bunkers and the greens running very true, although a little slow on some occasions. There was a great amount of laughter, before and after the match with players exchanging experiences of the new season, alongside individual family chats on everything and anything.

Prior to the 2 course meal in the late afternoon, the presentation of the Trophy was made by Sal Shepherd, East Captain to Fiona Johnston, Midland Past Captain. This resulted in the Midland team retaining the silverware for another year. The result was 5.5 - 1.5.  A special thanks goes to Evelyn Hamilton who organised the whole event, exclusive of selecting the team.  It certainly was an excellent day in lovely surroundings

Elsie Hutcheson beat Barbara Biggart

Lesley Gibb beat Dianne Brown

Jude Allardice halved Marie Pollock

Morag Wardrop beat Gail Mathieson

Claire Capocci beat Sharon Lynch

Joyce Murdoch beat Louise Casey

Fiona Johnston lost Fiona Larnach.

Our best wishes go to Linda Dyball, who was originally part of team, and had to withdraw at short notice due to a hand injury.

 

9 HOLE COMPETITION AT MILNATHORT ON FRIDAY 7th JUNE 2024

 The event is a new venture for the Midland Vets for 2024. It will be run in the same way as all other Competitions, with the added hope that some of our ladies, who do not like just playing 18 holes on every occasion, may participate.

The closing date for the Competition is 28th May 2024. Sheila Travers, will not be playing on the day, therefore, will be available for any advice on the day.

INTER-DIVISION MATCH - MIDLAND Vs THE NORTH

 Yesterday, 9th May 2024 saw the first of our Inter-Divisional matches of the season being held against the North Division at Strathmore Golf Club.  The weather was very kind to us, with full sunshine all day. The course was in great condition and the golf was of a very high standard, with 2 games finishing on the 17th and the rest on the 18th hole.

The morning commenced with coffee/tea and bacon rolls and prior to the tee offs, team photos were taken. A 2 course meal was provided in the clubhouse, after the matches, followed by the presentation of the trophy.

This year, The North Trophy was retained by the The North team, with a win of 4-3.

Well done to all the players to travelled to represent the Midlands and for providing entertaining golf for Linda Urquhart, the North Captain and myself.

The Midland team :- Margo Gardener, Elaine Moffat, Lorna Bennett,  Aileen Baker, Dorothy Ford, Lorna McLinlay and Hilary Scott.

SPRING MEETING RESULTS AT THE EDEN 30th APRIL

 Following the postponement of our Spring and Opening meeting on 18th April, we were fortunate that the Links Trust at St Andrews were able to accommodate us on a full course on the 30th April. Although there was a good wind, the sun was warm and we all escaped any driving rain.

Our numbers, however, dropped from 70 to 52 players, but from what I hear, I'm sure the players enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with friends, they may not have seen over the winter, and also to get the chance to meet players that they did not know before.

The Winner of the Allan Trophy was Alex Glaister, from Muckhartf Golf Club, with a Nett score of 69. Our Scratch winner was Linda Allan, Glenbervie Golf Club with a Gross score of 76.

For all other winners click here the attached file.

Please also click here to view  Gross scores of all the players.

Please also click here to view Nett scores of all the players,  Please ignore the (Draft) in brackets, this was when the computer failed when were attempting to post the results. The Nett scores are correct for all players.

INTER-DIVISIONAL MATCHES 2024

 Well its that time of year again, for our teams to be selected to play against the North, the East and the West Divisions.  These matches this year, respectfully are at Strathmore - North, - 9th May (0 -5.4), Ladybank - East 13th May (5.5 - 9.4) and Auchterarder - West 27th May (9.5 +)

Due to our Spring meeting being re-scheduled, I will now be sending out emails to those players eligible to play, on Monday 22nd April.  Players will then be able to inform me if they wish to play and are free for selection. 

Handicap selection will be based on the player's Handicap Index held on Saturday 20th April. This allows players to get a few games under their belts before this date.

There will be coffee and bacon rolls prior to the match and a two course meal after, followed by the presentation of the Trophy. This year, however, due to increasing costs, we are asking players to contribute £10.00 towards the cost of the meals.

The Committee are in the process of arranging of the fixtures for the season, along with the Inter-Divisional Matches, to which I hope we have a good response.

Please feel free to encourage friends or members from your club who are presently members to join the Midland Vets, as the events allow players to play at a competitive level within their own Handicap range.

Your support throughout the year, will be most welcome as we move forward, unfortunately without a Captain or Vice Captain this season.  However, I can assure you the Committee have taken this on board and are committed to ensure we fulfill our obligations while serving on the Committee.

Wishing you all the best and good golfing for 2024.

Fiona Johnston

Past Captain
