WINTER LEAGUE RESULTS 1st MARCH
When most of us were wrapped up at home or sitting (like me) in a cosy office, five very brave ladies went for a invigorating game of golf!! Gillian Allardice, Mary McDiarmont, Rhona McGeoghegan, Sheena Peacock and Marion Robertson were the ladies who braved the elements and played their winter league on what was one of the coldest days yet!! I couldn't believe it when Marion phoned with the days results. Hats off to you all!! But special congratulations must go to our player of the moment Gillian Allardice who once again played under handicap with 25 points!! Excellent play Gillian. The runner up was Rhona with a very respectable 23 points.
Well done to all the ladies who played today and I do hope it is better for your next week. Although I don't know what there is that could possibly make you stay at home!

CONGRATULATIONS!!
Congratulations go to the all the Team Members who represented Strathmore in the Mail on Sunday Team event. Our team won our first round match on Saturday morning against Kirriemuir and now progress to the next stages of this National Team Event.
The Team members were Chris Tinker, Birtie Buckett, Gillian Allardice, Rhona McGeoghegan and Team Captain for the day Marion Robertson. Both Gillian and Birtie won their matches and Marion halved hers. This made the team scores 2 1/2 and 2 1/2. As Marion was player number 5 she then had to make a nail biting trip up the 19th to decide the overall result. Marion kept her cool however and won the match on the first extra hole.
Well done to all the Ladies who played, this is a great result for Strathmore in our first ever appearance in the event.
I did text the result to Annette whilst on her holiday in Australia, she was delighted and asked me to pass on her congratulations to the team.
I will keep you posted as to our next opponents and when this will take place.

Eleanor Fenwick also scored well with 22 points.
Well done all.

GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS
The good news is that the back 9 are open....Hurray.....The bad news is that the front nine is still closed...Ahhhh. The problem seems to be the 4th and 5th holes where the sun doesn't reach and therefore they have iced over. However with the forecast sounding promising with temperatures reaching 9 degrees today and over night, fingers are well and truly crossed for the weekend.
I am going away for the weekend so will be unable to post any changes just give the office a ring for updates. But at least we can get out and play now!!! Leitfie Links is also open.
