August News

Rain and more rain, forced the Vets open at Muir of Ord to be abandoned, I am sure all the ladies who were to take part were disappointed, unfortunately we can do nothing about the weather.

The next Open is at Torvean on Saturday 5th September, a chance to get another score in for the aggregate cups, entries are very low for this at the moment so please get your entry in to Christine Marshall on 01463 223024 as soon as possible, closing date is 22nd August.

As you know there will be a change to the Committee at the AGM on 4th October. Florence Allan will be the new Captain and has a Secretary/Treasurer and Junior Convener in place, however, the Vice Captain's position is still vacant. I am sure there are many of you who would be very capable of taking this position and who would enjoy being involved in the County organisation.
Please get in touch with Florence on 01667 455229 or if you want any further information you could get in touch with me on 01261 812848.
We will be waiting for your call and hope that we will be busy answering our phones'

Something for us to think about next year is the Tain Four Day Tournament for Ladies and Gents which by all reports was a great success this year. The ladies scratch final was won by Anne Ryan who beat Hannah McCook by 2 and 1, Anne having beat Julie Vass in the semi-final.
Also congratulations Anne on your birthday, one of the special one's

Congratulations also to Mary Smith who was part of the team who retained the Miller Stirling Trophy at the Veteran Ladies Golf Association Jamboree at Bath Golf Club. Scotland bt England 5 1/2 to 3 1/2

In the Girls' Home International golf matches at Fairhaven Golf Club, Lancashire Sammy Vass was part of the team who helped Scotland finish runners-up and take the Swansea Spoon. They lost to England, halved with Wales and beat Ireland.





I am sure you all wish Sammy all the best as she leaves next weekend for Florida to begin a University Course.





Remember, I don't always hear what is going on out there at your Club, so please let me have items of interest which I will post on the web page.
