After a day of torrential rain the course in the evening, although playable, was very wet under foot. But at least it was dry over head. Alexandra was certainly the star of the day with a gross 69 she equaled the course record. Alex birdied holes 3, 4, 11, 12, 15 and 18. She had one bogey at the 7th and a very unfortunate double bogey on 16.
Playing along side Alex was a joy, her golf was superb to watch, her wedge play into greens was exceptional. Alex has practised hard all winter and this is now very evident in her play. Alex has already reduced her handicap from 4 to 2.6.
Well done Alex.
Full results were as follows:
CSS 72
Scratch
Alexandra Busbhy 69
Dawn Butchart 79
Silver
Alexandra Bushby (3) 66
Dawn Butchart (6) 73
Bronze
Lesley Haynes (25) 81
Linda Ross (36) 83 bih
Mary McDiarmid (29) 83
The above players were the only ladies to return scores. Lets hope that the weather will improve for our Open next week.

Did we have our summer in April?? Going by the wind yesterday and the day before it would appear to be the case. However the wind did not deter Rhona McIntosh who returned a magnificent score of 40 stableford points. Closely followed by Annette Grewar with 39 points. Well done both. The full result is as follows:
CSS 72
Rhona McIntosh (31) 40
Annette Grewar (15) 39
Lesley Haynes (25) 37
Sheena Scott (11) 34
With such great scores in the conditions both Rhona and Annette received a well deserved cut to their handicap:
Rhona was 31 now 29.0 playing 29
Annette was 15 now 13.8 playing 14
Well done and lets hope the wind will completely blow itself out by next week!
PS very sorry that the result was not in the papers this morning but I didnt get home till 9pm and just had to watch The Apprentice and when I called at 10pm copy desk was closed early!!

Birtie Buckett and Fanny Christie played in the third round of the Daily Mail Foursomes against Drumoig at home on Monday and I am delighted to announce that Birite and Fanny won the match 7 & 6.
Birtie and Fanny played some wonderful golf and very modestly said that they had the advantage of knowing the greens!
Congratulations to you both and all our best wishes in the next stage of the competition.

On what can only be described as the most horrendous conditions Alexandra Bushby and Dawn Butchart both qualified for the Scratch Section of the Perth and Kinross County Championship. I played in the morning and came back with what I thought to be the most horrendous score of 91 but was unaware the scoring was so poor. The rain just did not stop to the extent that the greens required to be cleared of water continuously. Alex also came back with a score of 84 unsure if that was enough which is certainly was! Alex qualified in 4th position and I was in 13th.
The only downside is that as the draw is automatic, this means Alex and I will face each other in the first round which is a little unfortunate. However it is great to have 2 players in the top 16 of the county! I am also very pleased to have qualified for the last 6 years in a row!!
Here's hoping the weather is a little kinder.
Some excellent scoring once again with 10 ladies scoring 36 points or more. The best lady of the day was Lesley Haynes with an impressive 40 points, well done Lesley. Sheean Peacock was not far behind with 39 points. Great score! The full results are as follows:
CSS 71
Lesley Haynes (26) 40
Sheean Peacock (20) 39
Alexandra Bushby (4) 38 bih
Edith Ralston (35) 38
Mary Menzies (24) 38
Rhoda Fraser (27) 37
Dawn Butchart (6) 37
Well done all.
The following players received a reduction to their handicap they were:
Lesley Haynes was 26 now 25.1 playing 25
Sheena Peacock was 20 now 19.4 playing 19
Mary Menzies was 24 now 23.1 playing 23.
