Bit of a weather change today!  Boiling sunshine for weeks on end and then it rains on our stableford - and it really was quite wet - even the divots became puddles, as Eileen noted.

Lots of Comiston members have been up at the 150th Open at St Andrews.  Not sure how much of the golf has rubbed off on us but there were plenty of shouts of "light the candle" and "mashed potato" in our group (at least once Bev was gently corrected, having yelled "mince and tatties" at a particularly good shot of Sarah's).

Despite the rain, it was really rather relaxing to go out and enjoy a wee stableford, instead of flogging ourselves round for two laps of stroke play and fretting about letting our partners down!

16 people played today and the scores were generally reasonably respectable.  Out in front, and the only one to play under handicap, was Viv C with an excellent 38 points.  Well done Viv.

The 2022 MM tournament took place at Comiston Ladies' home course, Braids No 1, yesterday on a beautiful, sunny day.  As anticipated, the Braids provided quite a golfing challenge over two rounds, particularly when the wind picked up.

The day ran smoothly thanks to all of the hard work put in by the MM Committee and to the numerous and enthusiastic volunteers.  The players enjoyed their lunch time picnics at the different clubhouses generously lent to Comiston by the Braids mens clubs and Mortonhall provided a very good dinner and hospitality to the players afterwards.

There was a good turnout of players for today's medal, which is combined with the competition for the Centenary Salver.  Several players had been honing their skills at the Scottish Seniors in Stranraer a week ago and the rest of us were just relishing a sunny day on the Braids.

Booking tee times for the medal had proved difficult, as a group from Merchiston Castle had been booked in to play in groups of four right in the middle of our usual slot.  Those who followed Sarah L's suggestion to get out before the boys got lucky, with speedy rounds and nice conditions.  Although the later groups also got the nice conditions, they also had to contend with groups of boys all over the course, playing to the wrong greens, sharing clubs and generally being clueless (although very pleasant!) and with 4 hour rounds.  Fiona had to have a word about etiquette with some of the worse club-sharing culprits!

Out in front, with a splendid 7 under handicap score, was Sarah B.  At last, she's cracked the Braids! (At least today).  Also continuing her recent good form was Bev with a 1 under handicap round and Coleen with 1 over.  It's great to see several players this season having really good rounds at the Braids.

Perhaps the looming pressure of the Morison Millar is getting to some of us, as the other scores were nothing to write home about.  Who will be driving the 14 next Thursday?? That is the question that followed Karina round the course today! (On the upside, Karina, whoever it is won't have to drive the 7th.)  Several people spent some time in close encounters with the gorse, especially in Sally's group.

Congratulations, Sarah, on an excellent round and winning the Centenary Salver.
