Comiston members do get about and over the last few days there are successes that we need to celebrate.
Carol played in the Islay Ladies Open at the Machrie and posted a winning score of gross 80.
Violet and Fiona H won 3rd handicap in Swanston’s Open Greensomes.
Mandy played at the Speyside Golf Festival and was a Daily Winner at Elgin with 38 points. Fiona F was also at Speyside and she came second at Boat of Garten with 35 points. Very well done to all of you!
The conditions, this morning, started off damp but no umbrellas were required until the halfway stage and it wasn’t cold which was a bonus. Not sure what happened out there on the course though as we had 5 NR’s. Violet reported a mare of a hole at the 6th where her ball didn’t seem to want to be on the fairway at all, no matter how many drops she took, it flew back into the bushes!
At the 16th green, Violet signalled to a running deer to stop whilst Sarah L, oblivious to her playing partner’s deer whispering talent, took her putt and sank it whilst the deer stood still and watched before moving on and disappearing into the gorse!
There were two twos today! Maxi had a two at the second and Karina had a two at the 13th. Well done both!
Congratulations to the winner of today’s final medal and also the 2023 Medal Winner. It was Diane with net 74 and Runner up was Sarah B with net 75.
Earlier this week was the Comiston Singles Knockout with both Diane and Sarah B in the final. By all accounts it was an exciting match with Diane winning on the 20th hole.
