It was a busy day for golf for some today, in particular Susan Randall, who played early at the Braids in today’s competition, then headed to Dundas Parks for the R&A 9 hole competition partnered by Diane and then this evening she was playing at Turnhouse in their Championship. Not sure anyone can beat that!
The Championship Qualifier is always an exciting day and there was a good number signed up for it. The day was perfect so no excuses! Eileen was delighted to shoot a gross 78 with an 8 on her card! There were 2 twos with one at the 9th by Sarah L and one at 13th from Susan R. Very well done!
The ball was travelling further than of late as the ground was so dry. It was noticeable that several gorse bushes had been cut back, not a bad thing! Lovely to spot a young deer at the 15th tee and a weasel(?) bolt across the fairway before we teed off.
Top of the leaderboard today with a gross 76 were Louise and Sarah L. Great scoring!
Eileen was next with a 78, Mandy 82, Anne 84, JRT 84, our newbie Catherine who was keen to crack the Braids with 86 (think she just has!) and 8th qualifier, Viv C with an 87. It’s definitely going to be exciting!
On another course (Dundas Parks) Karina (who has decided that a 9 hole competition is much more to her liking!) had qualified a few weeks ago at Wee Braids in the R&A 9 hole competition with her playing partner Bev. They were playing early with 2 very pleasant chaps, Jock and Patrick from Pitlochry who were very encouraging to play alongside. Anyway still awaiting official confirmation on their joint score of 37 points but reckon they could be second qualifiers to go to Hoylake on 14th July. Will keep you posted.
Wishing all the Championship qualifiers the very best!
