This week past saw the Mixed Open played on Sunday 3rd August. The event was played in excellent spirit and the feedback from many players was fantastic. It was pleasing on a personal front to see the winners Mark Cameron and Jacqueline Sneddon shoot a fantastic under par scratch 70 in the foursomes format. Mark and Jacqueline both make a 80 mile round trip to get coaching here at Ladybank!
The scoring on Sunday in general was great, with our own Kathleen Webster and her partner and son Ian Webster winning the overall handicap prize with a net 71 (see results) from a full field of 68 pairs. A great effort from all players and well done to all the prize winners in both the scratch and handicap sections. Thanks must go to our volunteers on the day who do such a great job in making these Opens work for our club. Thanks to you all for your help.
The warm weather we have had of late is really helping the golf course to play like a true heathland layout at the moment and It's great to see so many faces out enjoying there golf just now. We hope this enthusiasm keeps up and that you are all enjoying your golf?

Ladies' Exchange Day 2014
Last Thursday saw 33 ladies set forth to do battle over Crieff Golf Course. This year, for the first time, the 9 Holers were able to participate, Crieff being particularly suitable with its separate 9 hole course.
Given the forecast for thunder and lightning, we were extremely lucky to get away with only one heavy shower. The course was in beautiful condition although most of us found the greens rather testing.
The format was a form of rumble and the results were
1 Team Valhalla consisting of Linda McDonald, Fiona Whitton and Elspeth Gibb on 126 (a case of "beware the injured golfers")
2 Team Medinah consisting of, Susan Jackson, Elsie Houston and Jaci Connally on 132
3 Team Muirfield consisting of, Joan Moir, Connie Donaldson and Jenny Rearie on 134
The 9 Holers played a stableford on the Dornock Course, the winner being Betty Lindsay.
The putting competition and the rules quiz were won by Team Medinah.
Longest drive: Silver Susan Jackson Bronze Liz Stark
Nearest the pin: Silver Linda McDonald Bronze Christine Wilson

Well done all these golfers and thank you to all the ladies who supported this event, making it the fun day it was designed to be. Thank you also to Margaret, Elspeth , Susan and Joan who helped with the checking and collation of the results.
