The list for the home match against Downfield will be on the board on Saturday (10/7).

Please confirm your availabilty or add your name to the list as soon as possible thereafter.

We have had one or two late call-offs recently and it would be good to have a full, confirmed team for this match since it is the only one where we still have a chance of an overall victory.

Please note the following changes to the fixture schedule.

 

Captain v Vice Captain:  now to be played on Friday 6th August from 4.15pm.

Golf and BBQ:  now to take place on Sunday 22nd August from 2pm.

 

Sorry for the short (very short!) notice - I hope that I have been distracted by other issues and not that I'm becoming "wandered".

          DALHOUSIE GOLF CLUB 

       SENIORS’ OUTING TO KIRRIEMUIR GC  

Would all Seniors who participated in the outing to Kirriemuir Golf Club on May 27 – rained, flooded and hail-stoned off – please note that the Kirriemuir committee have generously agreed to our request for a free round of golf in compensation to the 17 hardy souls who played. 

Another date will be arranged for the replay outing and details will be made available as soon as possible. 

Any Seniors who missed the May 27 event but wish to join the original 17 on the revised date will be welcome but will, of course, have to pay the appropriate green fee of £14.  A meal will be arranged to follow at a cost (to everyone!) of approximately £10. 
 

ADRIAN ARTHUR,

Seniors Convener.

  

The next Mid Week Medal is on Wednesday 16th June on the Burnside.

To avoid detours, it is not necessary to go to the Hotel and sign-in before play as long as your card is clearly marked with the competition name and you let your playing partner(s) know you are entering.

However, when you return your card to the medal box, please ensure that you then enter your name on the competition sheet so that the Match Secreatry can cross-reference cards with entries.  Retrospective payment of sweep fees is a matter of conscience, or you can give your partner a pound on the 1st tee!

As blizzards and hurricane-force winds ravaged Scotland in the final week of March, Colin Sinclair, Dalhousie's Honorary Professional, made a pretty hair-raising trip to Doonbeg, on the west coast of Ireland, to take part in the Adidas/Taylor Made Invitational Professional Tournament. Having defied horrific conditions to get there, he made light of it all by emerging victorious - AND winning the prize for the longest drive in the competition. One of the rewards for his victory ( accommodation and tickets for the finals of this year's French Open tennis tournament in Paris ) has been VERY well received by Colin's wife, Fiona, a great enthusiast of the sport herself. We would guess that she will be MORE than happy for Colin to re-visit Doonbeg in 2011 to defend his title!

This match was played on the Championship course on Saturday 27th March 2010.

The match ended with a win for the Juniors by 6½ - 3½.

Thanks to all members who participated.

THANKS JOHN

 

John Lindquist, a distinguished past captain of the Dalhousie Golf Club, and our devoted and meticulous secretary for the past ten years, has decided to retire.

At the club's February general meeting, present captain Graeme Paton paid tribute to John's great service to the club. 

Other past captains acknowledged the vital support and guidance John has given them. Graeme presented to John a glass bowl engraved with a picture of the old Dalhousie clubhouse. John is particularly noted for the military precision with which he has organised and orchestrated the club's annual dinners for so many years - but his army experience and attention to detail have been evident in every aspect of his work for the club. He is rightly proud (or at least WAS rightly proud) of the fact that Tiger Woods' father asked him (John) for his autograph when he was using the club facilities during one of the Scottish Opens. It is hoped that John will continue his efforts to keep everyone in order on the first tee on Saturday mornings, and also to keep the hotel staff on their toes.   The good burghers of Carnoustie certainly have to keep their wits about them as the Galloping Major charges along the High Street on his super de luxe streamlined buggie. All members of the club will wish to thank John for all he has done and pass on their kindest regards to him and his wife. 

The club is very fortunate that Walter Ruark has agreed to take over the duties of secretary.
