Yesterday Gail and Sarah B travelled to Milnathort to represent Comiston in the R&A 9 hole challenge Scottish final. Despite a) managing (quite by chance) to look like the best dressed team, in blue and white stripes and b) having Susan R and Diane's performance of a couple of years ago to inspire them, it was not to be. Perhaps just as well as Kent feels a long way away and they are busy ladies! In any event, they acquitted themselves well and Sarah in particular had a good score of 18 and also featured (with Gail looking stripey and a bit nautical in the background) in Scottish Golf's twitter feed. Well done to you both.
There is always a lot riding on the June medal - in addition to the medal there is the Centenary Salver for best nett score and the top 8 scratch scores qualify for the Championship knock outs. Today saw 19 of us (there were a few withdrawals) turn up for these various challenges. It was a classically confrontational Braids day with a strong and gusty West wind which made a difficult back nine made even more so. If you didn't have three off the tee at some point you considered yourself lucky. The 14th in particular proved very demanding with people racking up big numbers on that hole. Janet came through on top with a nett 71, followed closely by Susan R and Sandra, both on nett 73. Well done everyone getting round the course today.
Viv has circulated the draw for the Championship knockouts and this will be on the website soon.
