RESULTS FROM DUNBLANE

CAPTAIN’S DAY AT DUNBLANE 11OCTOBER 2012

(Report from our Captain Pat Colquoun)

How lucky we were at Dunblane with none of the promised heavy rain. In fact the sun peeped through briefly. The last few in did get few spots but everyone came in dry. We had two temporary greens and the rest had been hollow cored with sand on which had not been brushed in so putting was a lottery.

SCRATCH

CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS

Jillian Milne (Craigie Hill) yesterday won the P&K LCGA Champion of Champions over the Ryder Cup venue, PGA Course at Gleneagles.

Below is a report from our Captain Pat Colquhoun:

On a lovely sunny but very windy day, 19 champions from clubs within Perth & Kinross competed for the Champion of Champions title. Played over the PGA course which was in superb condition in spite of all the rain, everyone enjoyed the experience and would sleep well last night feeling a bit weary when they completed their rounds.

We are very grateful to Gleneagles for granting courtesy to hold this competition on such a prestigious course. They have had a foretaste of what the Ryder Cup team will face in 2014.

Given the strong wind with which they had to contend, scoring was excellent and resulted in a tie for first between Jillian Milne and Eilidh Watson both with a scratch 78. Congratulations to Jillian who took the title on a better inward half.
