UPDATE FROM BLAIRGOWRIE

Fortunately for the 20 East Vets ladies who went up to Blairgowrie for the annual two days of SVLGA competition over Rosemount and Lansdowne courses on 16th and 17th September........ the weather forecast turned out to be  VERY WRONG! Yes it was pretty chilly  on Monday (to the extent that overnight frost meant the greens could not be cut!) but we were not blown away by gales nor were our waterproofs put to the test.  That's not to say that the conditions were easy for golf-  as the scores for many showed. However, it is not all about the golf but also about socialising with Vets from other Divisions so even if not as many putts dropped as hoped for there was always the 19th hole!! 

Highlights from East Vets  were Alice Archbold who won the Senior Scratch Trophy (see picture); Barbara Biggart who won the Small Cup (so called as it is played for over the 9 hole course) and Sue Penman/Ros Thoresen who tied the winning score in the Greensomes.  Congratulations to our East Vets prizewinners. Results are listed below the following photo of Alice Archbold with the Allen Plate ; for more photos/reports see the West Vets Blog at http://westvets.blogspot.co.uk/

SVLGA AGM

 

At the AGM Noreen Fenton (above with her shiny new badge) took over as Vets Captain from Helen Faulds whilst another East Vet, Gillian Kirkwood serves as Vice President. It was announced that the annual Blairgowrie Vets competition days would be 15th and 16th September in 2014 but the Championship matchplay in 2014   between Divisional Champions would need to be on different dates and a separate venue due to the British Seniors being at  Royal Dornoch and the Junior Ryder Cup being at Blairgowrie in mid-September 2014.
