When fun golf is mentioned followed by food and drink, Comiston members are always keen! Chris Donkin from Braids United had rallied a group of 10 of their members to play a Greensomes match on the Braids in very breezy conditions against 10 gung ho Comiston members.
Sarah L and Zandra were out first playing Chris and his wife, Anne. Our team managed to secure a win at the 17th, Sally and Karina enjoyed their match v Mark and Mandy Munro gaining a half point for team Comiston.
Braids United got one back against Tricia and Sarah B. They were playing Andy White and Annette Hardie. Bev and Lesley thought they were playing a man and woman called Steff and Chris only to discover on the first tee that Steff was actually a man! It was very tight all the way round. They finished on the 18th with an honourable half.
So it all came down to the final match with the score standing at 2 points each! Come on Gail and Fiona!🙌 Time was marching on and most had finished the delicious salmon frittata and salad made by Chris and Anne Donkin’s daughter before the Captain of Braids United, Dougie, entered the room(rather sheepishly) He announced that Comiston were 1 up at the last and so Comiston had won 3-2.
Sarah L thanked the Braids United players for organising the afternoon for us all and said that she hoped that it would become an annual event. It was lots of fun and an occasion to be recommended.Certainly, there was talk of investing in some sort of trophy for next year so watch this space!
