The
West Vets played their annual foursomes match against the
East Vets at
Troon Portland today. I am delighted to report that
West had a good win and the
Friendship Trophy returns to this side of the country! The course looked a perfect picture today with lots of sunshine and blue sky. A very strong wind made conditions tough for everyone - drivers at 2 of the short holes! Probably a 2 to 3 club wind but the plus side was a sea of gorgeous 'white horses' and no rain! We met around 10am for coffee and bacon rolls before setting off at 11. There were 5 matches, no strokes, and all five were extremely competitive but enjoyed by everyone. Several people were playing the course for the first time and they all enjoyed it thoroughly. Despite the difficult conditions they all would be happy to return on a future occasion. Following the match we had a lovely meal in the clubhouse and plenty of fun and laughter. A lovely way to spend a Monday! Thank you to all my team for agreeing to play today and well done to everyone.
Results:
Enid Young and Sandra Gilchrist beat Clare Bowe and Denise Mitchell
Marion Stewart and Rena Simpson beat Gina Thomson and Gilly Glen
Jennifer Graham and Ruth Henderson beat Pam Townsend and Kate Johnston
Freda Bunch and Fiona Roger halved with Phyl Early and Mary Richardson
Anne Aitken and Ann Dunn lost to Sandra Ashurst and Carol MacLeod
I would like to thank everyone who played in the 3 matches this season - a win against the Midlands Vets at Alloa (scratch singles, team handicaps 10 and over), a win today against East Vets at Troon Portland (scratch foursomes, team handicaps 10 and over) and a halved match against the East Vets at Gullane (scratch singles, team handicaps 9 and below) - well done.
