Guess who? Runner up and winner still smiling!
It’s nearing the end of summer but you wouldn’t have thought it today as we played in our August Stableford competition. So glad we had packed the brollies!
On the first tee the round of golf looked so promising but gradually the sky got darker as the clouds piled up. It was slow moving too, both rainclouds and pace of play. It’s always great to know that people come from all around the world to play golf at the Braids but perhaps not when they end up playing in front of you!
We had plenty of time to chat and to admire the view, when we could see it! Diane reckoned Comiston could market its own Bramble Gin from the Braids but who would be the best person to go on Dragon’s Den for the pitch? Aha, you will need to guess!
For some of us, it was a game of two halves. One group averaged a six between the three of them at the par 3 13th hole so nil points scored. Definitely 13 was unlucky for them!
Voices carry over the Braids and today apart from hearing Australian accents, there were Sicilians(Sarah L and Karina came across them)you could also hear a few wails from our own members bemoaning bad bounces and missed putts. Check out this photo of Karina at the 9th who still managed to salvage a point from beside the bench!

The scores ranged from 24 to 36 points and today’s winner was Carol with the bih from runner up, Susan R who says she’s on the way back - definitely fighting talk so we’ll all need to up our game!
Chris Donkin, along with the present Captain at Braids United served us up a choice of two soups, home made bread from a Dunbar bakery, scones with cheese and the now obligatory jam. It is very much appreciated and anticipated from about from the 14th hole inwards!
