Braemar 2023

Organiser Malcolm failed a late fitness test but still turned up at the start today to see the remaining 11 of us off. Braemar used to be a regular stop on BSV's outings but today was the first time we'd been back as a group for a few decades.

Ball in the bag start in 3-4-4 formation. Here's the first group driving off:




Then a team photo:


Who would wear these ankle bracelets - and why?:


The course was in good shape - the greens were sticky but true and, overall, scores were pretty healthy - only 2 were in the 20's. Ian D won the NP at the 5th (with the help of a fortuitous bounce) and Rob won the 18th. The longest drives at the 15th were won by Gary and Syd (70 +).

Syd won the individual stableford with 40 points, with Rob 2nd on 38 and Gary 3rd with 37. The clear team winners were Syd, Harry, Brian and Rob with an impressive average of 36.25, well ahead of the others. Their win was duly acknowledged but insufficient prize balls remained.

Good day out and it was generally agreed that this was a much better option than Blairgowrie.
