DAILY MAIL FOURSOMES

P&K MEMBERS LOSE OUT IN THE  SEMI FINALS OF THE DAILY MAIL FOURSOMES

P&K members Carol and Gwen Lambie have just contacted me with the sad news that they lost their semi-final match this morning against Sandiway.

Carol and Gwen certainly did not go down without a fight they took the match all the way to the 18th green. To lose out so close to the final is very disappointing for them both. Gwen said she was 'gutted' however I think they should both be very proud of themselves getting so far in what is deemed to be the biggest national competition in the world, where, according to the Daily Mail website, some 190,000 players take part in the qualifying stages. So very well done to make it to the semi finals.

Enjoy the remainder of your time in Wales.

P&K COUPLE IN FINAL

P&K COUPLE MAKE DAILY MAIL FOURSOME


Team member Gwen Lambie along with her Mum and Junior Convenor Carol Lambie have made their way to the semi finals of the Daily Foursome Finals in Wales tomorrow.

Gwen and Carol sailed through the two qualifying rounds today winning 4&3  in the morning and 3&2 this afternoon. Tomorrow they will be on the tee at 8.16am against Sandyway.

P&K are all rooting for them GOOD LUCK!! 

FIRST HOLE IN ONE FOR EMILY

EMILY BAGS HER FIRST ACE

Team player Emily Ogilvy holed her first ever ace on the 6th hole at Strathmore Golf Centre today. I am also delighted to say that I, along with Janet Griffiths and Jackie Moran was there to witness the perfect shot.

Emily said she felt quite emotional and was extremely excited to have at last had a hole in one and I for one am delighted for her.

Well done Emily!
