JRT took this lovely photo at the 9th this week - not sure we’ve seen these growing on the Braid Hills before? They are just our colour too!
The last Comiston scoring competition on the calendar is the September Stableford and this year, was on the eve of the Autumnal Equinox. Woolly hats were being pulled out of golf bags and some were even putting on their winter gloves!
There was a very nice group of chaps who pitched up outside the Starter’s Building. The main man with a wonderful Glaswegian accent was telling us that he had brought some Swedes to play the Braids today for the very first time. He was eager for any tips on the best way to play the Braids! He was asking US for tips? Oh no!
Tricia had a couple of putts that just fell short today like this one, early on in the round! Neither Maggie or Tricia could believe that this didn’t drop. She gave it the full ten seconds that’s for sure!
Maggie lamented that she wasn’t firing on all cylinders today and was calling herself by her Sunday name and so there were a few ‘aw Margarets!’ We heard JRT’s shout out at the 17th and we hoped it was for a hole in one but sadly not! There were groans and a fair number of sighs at lost balls from players. Tricia tried to distract herself from the golf by picking brambles. A few of us admitted to playing a game of two halves.
However, Maxi and Eileen had twos today, Eileen at the 9th and Maxi at the 17th - well done! You’ve both had a great season at Comiston!
Topping the leaderboard was Karina with 36 points and the Runner Up was Vice Captain Fi with 34 points. Congratulations to you both!
The Thai curry cooked by Graham and served up by Chris in the Braids United clubhouse was delicious and 12 of us got together afterwards for a good old chinwag and topped it off with a large wedge of carrot cake.
The good news is that they have offered to do it all again next year so reckon they thought we were alright!
And finally, a few of our members are away to sunny Spain for the Solheim Cup and below you can see Violet minus her gold bottle(she even messaged to apologise. that she’d unfortunately left it back home!) but looking very much the part in her European colours!
