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.

Seniors Christmas Gathering

December 17, 2009 16:06 by arthur

SENIORS CELEBRATE

Despite a doubtful weather forecast and winter temporary greens, there was a good turnout of Seniors for the Christmas golf and lunch.

In the end, all got round dry - which is more than can be said for one or two who lingered on in the bar after the lunch.

The main aim of the day was fun and relaxation, but for the record the winner of the Stableford competition over 13 holes of the Burnside Course was Mike Swanston. Thanks to the generosity of Donald Ford, prizes went all the way down to seventh.

The "competitive" golfers were joined for lunch by a welcome number of non-combatants. These included Bob Wilson who did the really hard job of checking the scorecards and working out the prizes.

It has been suggested that one or two members should ask Santa Claus for a Christmas gift of a little book entitled Stableford Golf Made Simple!

Many thanks to all who took part....and a Merry Christmas to Seniors of all ages!

August 27, 2009 19:49 by arthur

The Return Match at Edzell Golf Club was played in glorious sunny conditions and despite on the day losing by five matches to two it is fair to say that a very enjoyable day was had by all. Our hosts fed us extremely well including providing an excellent Carvery following the matches. Donald and Arthur in their defeat were given a Masterclass in putting by Bill Stewart (no less than seven single puts with his partner) The Golf Course was in superb condition and the friendly banter contributed to the days enjoyment. Over the two events the result was a 7:7 draw; Dalhousie having won by the same score at Carnoustie

Dalhousie Seniors v Dunbar Seniors

DALHOUSIE RETAIN DUNDAL TROPHY

Dalhousie Seniors beat Dunbar Seniors 4-2 in the return match at Carnoustie on August 11. Following Dalhousie's 5-1 victory at Dunbar earlier in the season, the Dundal Trophy remains in our keeping by the handsome margin of 9-3.

The Carnoustie match was played mostly in wind and rain, which led to one unfortunate incident. As one Dalhousie member drove off on the 9th tee his driver slipped from the grip of his sodden golf glove, somehow flew over his head and struck one of the Dunbar players a glancing blow. Fortunately no damage was done - and the incident did not prevent the Dunbar member and his partner from thrashing the Dalhousie pair.

Next up for the Seniors - Edzell away on Monday, August 24.
