Bell Trophy v Blairgowrie

Bell Trophy v Blairgowrie

At 5 o'clock on Friday night, the rain began to fall on Strathmore Golf Course and what had been a pleasant day looked as if it was going to take a nasty turn for the evening. Not at all promising conditions for the team selected to play in the Bell Trophy match against Blairgowrie, Iain "El Capitano" Butchart, Sammy "Das Englander" Bolderson, Derek "Oh, Matron" Gordon, Fergus "The Invisible Man" Martin and Eric "Steak Pie with Guinness, easy on the steak" Gray.

The rain eased after an hour however and a pleasant evenings golf was enjoyed by most. Iain, for the first time in living memory actually receiving shots, managed to eke a half out of the Blairgowrie Scratch man, Sammy and Derek both losing out before Fergus soldiered in with another half, and Eric going down 2 and 1 in the last match. All however enjoyed the matches which could all have gone either way, except possibly Sammy, who's cold appeared to have gotten worse by the time the match finished!

Once again, thanks to Dave and the staff for the hospitality after the event, which as always was well appreciated by the visitors.
