Picture this.....
Having had glorious hot, sunny and dry weather for longer than anyone can possibly imagine, our enthusiastic lady members headed off for their weekly Thursday golf competition on July 25th. The weather Gods alas were not on their side and instead the heavens did their best to give everyone and everything a jolly good soaking. So, from our initially large playing group only a few hardy souls decided they were up for the challenge and headed off, waterproofs to the fore. The rest I might add retired for coffee!
Now, among this very small but perfectly formed group, a score to die for was steadily being put together by none other than Mrs Angela Beale. In Angela's own words the golfing gods were with her on Thursday and everything just fell into place. At the 8th hole a further two ladies succumbed to the conditions but Angela and her playing partner Fay battled on regardless. At the conclusion of her round Angela had amassed 45 Stableford points and scored a net 62!
A fabulous score and very well deserved. Angela's handicap was cut from 23 to 20 as a result.
Congratulations Angela - and all tips on how to put together such a round would be most readily received by the author!

Hole In One Success For Irene Austin
Holes in one are becoming something of a regular occurrence here at Murrayshall!
On Saturday, July 6th Irene was playing in a Texas scramble on the Murrayshall course. At the 4th hole she took her position on the tee and hit a beautiful shot over the infamous water. Imagine her shock then as she left the tee - without a backwards glance and her team colleagues began shrieking in excitement as the ball made its way along the green and to the hole before eventually disappearing from sight.
And the shame of it? Irene didn't even see it go in the hole!
Our congratulations go to Irene on this hole in one achievement.
For those who played in the competition there was Pimms on the lawn in the glorious sunshine.

Cheers Irene!
Irene was subsequently presented with the hole in one trophy and the photograph shows Irene receiving her award with a bottle of champagne from Vice Captain, Nicola Gilmore.

Murrayshall Ladies Outing To Braehead
July 4th dawned damp but with the prospect of better weather perhaps to come. So with this thought in mind 20 intrepid lady golfers wended their way to Braehead Golf Club near Alloa. We left Perth in glorious sunshine and headed towards the threatening clouds of the central belt! Clouds being as they are they didn't just threaten - they performed right on cue! Nevertheless, we arrived at Braehead to fair conditions and the prospect that in fact things might just clear up for us.
10 pairs of ladies were entered in a greensomes competition and below there are some photographs of the day.
It was all smiles at the start as some of these photographs illustrate but as with any round of golf you never quite know what might be in front of you!
For some that meant a jaunt into the trees!!!
And for others it was a case of "needs must as the devil drives!!" Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nevertheless the smiles in the clubhouse afterwards proved how enjoyable the day had been for everyone...
Only one pair managed a magic two on the day and that accolade went to Angela and Elaine. Well done ladies!
The winners of our competition on the day were Euphan and Linda who had a fantastic net 72. This fabulous score also earned the girls second place in the Braehead greensomes handicap competition and the girls won fabulous jewellery as their prize. Well done girls!
So that's it for another year. Our thanks go to the ladies committee at Braehead for their hospitality and to Katherine Chambers of our ladies committee whose organisational skills made the day the success it was.
Here's to next year!
