Friday afternoon was the 10th time that we played for the lovely trophy donated by Linda Edmonds. We were rained off at our first attempt in 2002 (and again in 2009), but there were no such problems this year. Aboyne was again in great condition and the weather was fair enough for a couple of us to don shorts.
There was an excellent turnout of 15 golfers and young Paul Edmonds was in the first group out with last year's champion, Malcolm Grigor. There had been a bit of a wait due to a large, shotgun start, outing, but eventually we got going about half an hour later than our scheduled 1:30 pm start.
Paul hadn't played golf since the same time last year, but he demonstrated natural timing and ability on the first tee - albeit it wasn't his best shot of the day:
Meanwhile the golf groupies looked on:
Individual winner on the day was Les, with 36 points - the second time he gets his name on the trophy, levelling with Malcolm. Dan and I both had 35 points, with Dan the better inward half and hence second place. Linda kindly donated and handed out the prizes - and some kisses and cuddles.
Winning team with a best 2 stableford points was Les, Ray and Bill with 80 points - one ahead of Nigel, Ian and I. Here's the team gathered before our meal:
Another excellent day out - and a well established event in the calendar now - don't miss it next year!
