INTERNATIONAL DUTY CALLS

 Lorna McKinlay and Elaine Moffat

You may have noticed that the above two ladies were not playing at Strathmore last week.  The reason was that both have been selected for the forthcoming Home Internationals, due to be held on 19th-21st September 2023 at West Kilbride and Tuesday 29th August was a practice day  for the team.

I wish to express my congratulations to both and I'm sure all the ladies from the Midland Division extend their best wishes to them and hope the Scottish team have a great tournament. 

The first week in September is also going to be a busy time for both ladies, with Lorna flying off to play in Sawgrass, following her winning a hole in 1 competition.  I'm sure she will enjoy her week in the USA.

Elaine has also been selected for the Senior European Team to play between 5th-9th September at the Parador de El Saler Golf Club, Valencia.

Again well done to you both. You are certainly keeping the Midland Division on the Golfing map and calander.

RESULTS OF AUTUMN MEETING AT STRATMORE

 Hi Folks, can I first apologise for the delay in the results coming through thclick heree Scottish Golf App, but as relayed by email there has been a glitch in the system between approval of the course, Club V1 and Scottish Golf.  The Club has approved and Club V1 are checking systems and I am awaiting to hear from Scottish Golf.

However, Evelyn and I had already completed the scoring and recording of winners before the issue occurred.

The day itself was very good with 53 members playing in mainly beautiful sunshine.  The course was in great condition with the green-keepers having rolled the greens early that morning.  The hospitality as expected was of a excellent standard and it was good to see so many members enjoy the surroundings and socialising with one another.

This was our last Competition of the season, so I hope you have enjoyed the venture as much as the Committee and I.  Information regarding the Blairgowrie Ballot selection and the AGM on 19th October at Dunblane will be coming at the beginning of September.
