Message from our new captain

Dear Ladies

It gives me great pleasure to announce that I am the new Border Ladies captain and my daughter Tara is the new vice captain. I hope to bring all of my experience having followed Tara over many years representing both County and Country at all levels to ensure the long term future of Ladies Golf in the Borders. I am honoured to be given this role and would like to give something back to this great game where I have met many lifelong friends from the South of Scotland to the North. I look forward to seeing you all over the season at our competitions.
Please feel free to contact myself or Tara with any issues no matter how small.

With kind regards

Jamboree 2018

Just to keep everyone informed of the Counties achievements at the 2018 Jamboree which was held at the Wigtownshire Golf Club 23/25 June.

 

The squad was selected at the end of May, a mix of ladies from 5 different clubs represented the County.

 

Tara MacTaggart             Minto

Julie Birdsall                    Roxburghe

Fiona Ker                         Roxburghe

Sharon Paterson               Kelso

Leanne Wilson                 Kelso

June Anne  Clarke           Peebles   ( new player)

Orla O'leary                      Hirsel    ( new player)

Denise Richards               Peebles

 

We arrived on the Friday and had a practice round just to get our heads together for the links course which was very dry and bouncy due to the great weather we have had.

 

The first match was against Galloway the host county, the morning round is a foursomes competition we managed to win 1 match out of the three so the afternoon singles was going to be a big ask for the ladies, but everyone went out with all guns blazing to do their best and what a great result, we won 3 matches and halved another so the overall result Vs Galloway was a draw 4 ½ points each.

 

So back to our lodges which were only 15 mins from the course located on the beach with a view to die for (weather permitting), I think our ladies will be  returning to the Ardwell lodges for a golf trip in the area soon.

 

Day 2 was another scorcher so sun protection was applied ….. Dumfriesshire were very strong with all 8 of their ladies under 5 handicap with the best being +3…..AAAHHHHH

We managed to win 1 match in the morning so again we had to dig deep for the singles, we came up trumps again winning 3 matches so overall we only lost 5 / 4 , a great achievement, ladies you should all be very proud.

 

Next year we will fight back at Thornhill and try try again.

 

I would just like to thank everyone for their support over the last few days, it really is a honour to represent our County, things are so easy when everyone works together.

 

Thank You Denise

Cancellation Midlothian Match

Hi ladies

So sorry it has taken a long time to get a answer from Midlothian, but the decision has been made to cancelled the match on Sunday.
Probably very sensible I am sure all courses will take a wee while to dry out.

Ladies please can you encourage everyone for the JC at St Boswells on the 8th April.


Cheers Denise

Alternate day for championship qualifier

Just to keep you up to date at our committee meeting last week it was brought to our attention this year the Scottish golf event" Helen Holm "competition has clashed with the Border ladies qualifying competition on the 22nd of April.
Last year we decided that due to the fact this event was a high level of Scottish golf we allowed Tara Mactaggart to play her qualifier a week early.
Again we have decided to allow this to happen as we think, we as a County should encourage our ladies to participate at the highest level. If any other player in the same situation with Scottish golf  events please contact myself as we have arranged a alternative date of the 15th April to play at Duns with a committee member.

Many thanks for your co-operation

Hope to see you all at the Jenny Cleghorn at St Boswells on the 8th April.

Thanks Denise
