PLAY SUSPENDED AT ST RULE

Team member Emily Ogilvy posted a very credible 80 yesterday (CSS 78) for the first round of the St Rule. This placed Emily 22nd in a very large field.

However Emily called earlier to let me know that play has been suspended due to extremely high winds which is making putting almost impossible.

I will keep you posted on the outcome of this suspension and if and when play resumes.

GOOD LUCK EMILY

Team member Emily Ogilvy is P&K's only player taking part in the St Rule Trophy at St Andrews this weekend.
There is as always a top class field of international players and competition will be fierce to lift the 2011 Trophy. The highest handicap taking part is 2 and the lowest +4 so the standard of play will be excellent.
