County Finals 2024- Eyemouth

 

South Jamboree - Hirsel 2024

WE DID IT

What a weekend I am very proud to tell you the Border Ladies Team are now the South of Scotland Champions. Our first match was on Saturday against last years winners Dumfriesshire Borders managed 8 1/2 points to Dumfriesshire 1/2 point. On Sunday Borders won 7 points and Galloway 2 points.

The golf on display at the weekend was to a high standard some of the men watching couldn't believe how far these ladies could hit the ball.

As a Team we have worked incredibly hard for this years jamboree and it has paid off. We would like to thank our caddies and all the people that came down to support us at the Hirsel & the Hirsel Ladies Captain Karen Hume who was amazing.

We would love if you could come to Eyemouth for the finals to support us they start on the 30th August - 1st September 2024.

Jenny Cleghorn 28th April St Boswells

 First of all thank you very much for playing today I am sure you will agree the green staff had the course in excellent condition. A big thank you to the greenstaff , Linda & Colin Ovens and Fiona Melrose along with the St Boswells Ladies for their lovely scones, cakes and traybakes it was much appreciated.

We were also very lucky with the weather as I believe it was raining in most places today apart from St Boswells.

We raised £123 for The Border Cancer Unit which was great.

Our silver winners were Fiona Ker (who forgot half her clubs) and Kirsty Campbell with a great score of 69 Nett. Our Bronze winner who only met for the first time today I think should definitely play together again was Judith Dixon and Melanie Patterson with a great score of 66 Nett so congratulations to all of you and of course all the prize winners.
