The Centenary Weekend - part 3 (Sunday)

Good grief.

Very "tired" this morning. Out of habit, managed to get into clothes and up to golf club for 10.00am. Tom (of course) already on site and ensuring everything in order for the teams from the other Centenary Clubs visiting today.

I headed out first with Willy Hutton and a pair from Kirriemuir - I might as well have just marked the card, thankfully Willy was on usual form and had a great "better-ball" score on his own! The other six Pitlochry players (Andy Burrows, Duncan Munro, Mike Niven, Greg Duncan, Steve Reid and Richard Drummond) all played their part, and the home team claimed the the trophy. I claimed Centenary fatigue, but the objective of the day was achieved, with all of the teams thoroughly enjoying the course and the dinner afterwards. Ian Michie's forecast wasn't quite 100%, and we had a heavy rainshower for the latter part of the matches, but it did not spoil anyone's enjoyment.

In fact they were adamant that the competition be played again next year, and that a venue be drawn there and then - quite fitting that Hopeman was selected, as it was really the discussions between our two clubs that led to this event being staged - and it looks set to continue in years to come, moving around the other clubs founded in 1909 - Murcar, Kirriemuir, Strathtay, Loudoun Gowf, Tarbat and Troon St Meddans.

Also received some nice gifts from the other Clubs - all in all an event well worth the effort of staging, but (for once) glad to see the weekend come to an end.
