A busy weekend

See the Club website for news of the Junior festival held over the weekend - well done to Mike Lang, Fiona Seaton and Mark Pirie for co-ordinating an excellent event. There were 42 participants, many of whom are not currently members, so we hope to see some new faces on Monday and Tuesday nights, starting this week.

As well as the Saturday Medal, we also had the first of our inter-club matches, against Alyth, on the Sunday. A very enjoyable afternoon was had by all, Pitlochry posting a convincing victory. Particular highlights of my match included partner Bert McKay's unorthodox efforts to escape a bunker on the 4th, involving a header and a poor attempt at a bicycle kick.

Thanks to John, Janine and co in the Clubhouse, for looking after the Juniors and their parents over the weekend, and the excellent meal after the match with Alyth.

I think we all recognised the fantastic condition which the course was in over the weekend - I bumped into Chris on Sunday night and he modestly suggested that it was mainly down to the good weather, but I know that he was out on Saturday and Sunday nights watering the greens, and we can see the work that has gone in over the winter - credit to the green-keeping staff, for this time of year, the course is looking better than it has in a long time.
