The weather was very kind to our Team at St Andrews today for our friendly match against St Rule.  We played the Eden course on typical  links course greens, which some of us found difficult to get to grips with.  We had gusty winds over the first 9 holes,  but  the sun kindly came out  for the second half and the temperatures rose.
The Matches were close, going to the 16th and 17th greens, but we had to  admit the home players  handled the slick greens better than us.  The result was a win for St Rule by 3 games to 1.
After the  match we  headed for the St Rule  club rooms overlooking the fabled 18th green on the Old Course  and enjoyed a  convivial meal.
Thanks  to all who played : Margaret Hunter (Captain) Avril Smith, Sheila Ritchie, Liz Fertacz,  Rae Brass, Diane Wallace, Heather Dawson & Judith Clowe
