It was a cold Sunday that greet 25 hardy souls to week 11 of the Winter League and what is now the "home straight". As the saying goes, "it takes an auld heid....." as Gordon Smith took the honors with a fine Nett 59. I dare say, given the ground conditions, he was hitting 300 yard drives!! Alan Low, couldn't match his Nett 50 from the previous week, but Nett 61 was enough for second. With Hugh Kerr, a previous low scorer taking 3rd with a Nett 62. With few golfers in the Section 1, it's usually between 3 for the scratch prize and again Ron Lambie takes first with a scratch 70. He must be well in profit this winter with his winnings! Several eccies were still on the go and a few movers and s
Friday night saw a packed clubhouse, as the Dunkeld and Birnam Seniors (DABS) entertained 60 members and guests with their "Touch of Burns" Night. Davie Miller piped in the Haggis and later provided his Tam o' Shanter rendition. Colin Nisbet addressed the haggis and with his "swashbuckling skills" not only stabbed and poked the haggis, but successfully dowsed the Captain in water as he attempted to slash at a vase of flowers, spilling it's contents! David and Margaret Scott provided a humerous if not "marital insight" when toasting the lassies and the lads. Dave MacDougall provided the Immortal Memory, while the evening continued with a sing a long with Burns songs. There are so many thank y
As you can see, the course is closed for golf, probably until next week. However, the road to the club has been cleared, and so the "Sledge Park" is open. Come and feel young again by sliding down the 18th Fairway on your "rear end" on purpose for a change!! The course will be re-assessed on Monday. Enjoy the weekend!!
The DABS Seniors are to hold a Burns Supper in the clubhouse on Friday 27th January 2017 at 7.30pm. All food and entertainment has been donated, and the speeches etc, will be "performed" by the members of the DABS. It promises to be an enjoyable and entertaining evening. Tickets are £10 per person and number should intimated by emailing the club, or contacting Dave MacDougall on 01350 727729 All members and their guests will be made welcome.
It's a New Year and time to off-load the cobwebs and back to business! Week 9 still saw some "eccies" coming, and as the weather proved kind, all three handicap prizes were in the 50's with one skirting with a sub 50 round. Ron Lambie continues to rake in the cash with another Scratch 65, but safe enough to protect his handicap! Alan Low, however, had the biggest single reduction with his nett 50!!, This must come as a shock to Sam Woodside who would have thought his Nett 57 would have cashed in. Even Ron Burnett's Nett 59 on a normal day would have been a sure bet. In the Eclectic there were still some "movers and shakers"! Ron Lambie (55) is 3 shots clear of Peter Russell and Doug Ogilvie
