The Autumn Meeting took place today at Stirling Golf Club. The number of entries was lower than
previous Autumn Meetings.
The day started at 7 am with a notification that the course
was closed due to flooding. Using the new
software, we could email players directly with updates allowing members to make
their own decisions - balancing travel distance and forecasts - there were a
number of call-offs. In the end, the
heavy rain stopped, the ground drained enough to satisfy the greenkeepers and the
course finally opened. Our first times
were delayed by 25 mins and thankfully the Meeting was held in glorious weather.
All of the scores were on the high side which reflected the
ground conditions. Congratulations to
Claire Capocci for returning the best scratch score of the day - an 82 winning
the Patrick Rosebowl.
The Owl Trophy for the best nett score in the age category
50 – 64 was won by Caroline Henderson with a nett 78.
The Senior Vets Trophy for the best nett score in the age
category 65+ was won by Elma Leisk with a nett 74. This was also the best Overall Nett score,
so doubly well done.
My thanks go to the Greenkeepers for working ahead of our ladies
preparing the way; Scott in the Pro shop
for managing the tee times of our competition and the ‘early-bird members’; the catering staff and the office staff. Particular thanks to the Convener, Ashley Leitch
and Committee Member Evelyn Hamilton who worked as a great team, welcoming
members, sorting start times and entering scores.

Note: We had
previously agreed that no member could win more than one prize at a Meeting and
