Comiston held the rescheduled triam today. MUCH better conditions, although the weather on the first date set a very low bar! Not everyone who had signed up first time round was able to play but some people who didn't sign up first time round were now able to play so it all worked out nicely and we had 16 teams of Comiston members and friends.
Kirstin Everett very kindly came up to send all the teams off and divvy out the cards, chocolates (for which, thank you, Viv C) and Comiston centenary markers for the guests. It was quite chilly work but Kirstin has a well trained husband and dog and they came up with a cup of coffee to keep her going. Lovely to see you again Kirstin and hope you'll be back for golf before long.
As ever, the Braids doesn't always provide the ideal vehicle for member recruitment ⛰⛳️🤪, but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the scores were fairly respectable with 63-69 being where most teams ended up. Sue F, Coleen and Anne Beedie (from Glencorse) came second with 76, but well out in front was the winning team comprising Maggie, Sarah B and Mary Stark with a very splendid 82 points (wow!) - winners of the Comiston quaichs. Special mention should be made of Sarah B's personal score of 45 stableford points. Why oh why oh why was that not a qualifying competition 😭? Don't worry Sarah, I expect the handicap secretary is taking a look at it right now!
Most people went in to the Edinburgh Western GC clubhouse for tea/coffee and home baking afterwards where Sarah L did sterling service producing tea and coffee all afternoon. Thank you very much Sarah. Thank you also to those who did the baking.
