From the SLGA Website:

Alison Bartlett (pictured left - courtesy of the SLGA) confirmed she is the best senior player in Scotland by completing the Strokeplay and Matchplay Championship double at Elgin Golf Club.

The Royal Dornoch player was never headed in the Strokeplay Championship and she completed an impressive run in the Matchplay with a 3 and 1 win over West Vet Aex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) in the 18 hole final.

One up at the turn in the final, the highlight for Bartlett was an eagle three at the 404 yard tenth. Glennie won the 14th to reduce the deficit to one but wins at the 15th and 17th secured victory.

In the semi-finals, Bartlett had a close one hole win over Kathleen Sutherland (Royal Montrose). All square with two to play, the Northern Counties golfer won the 17th in par and the 18th was halved.

In the other tie, Glennie was a 2 and 1 winner over Fiona De Vries (St Rule). Two down after three holes, back-to-back birdies at the fifth and sixth and more wins at the seventh and eighth put Glennie in control.

In the Nett Handicap Semi Finals Margot Barr won against West Vets Vice Captain Marion Stewart (Kilmacolm)  and Rita Dee beat Emma Wilson (Elie and Earlsferry)

Rita Dee from Kingsknowe Golf Club defeated Margot Barr (Nairn) in the Nett Championship Final 4&3.

SCOTTISH SENIORS CHAMPIONSHIP - LIZ KEOHONE AND ALEX GLENNIE ARE RUNNERS UP

ALISON BARTLETT KEEPS COOL - AND WINS SCOTTISH SENIOR STROKE TITLE

Royal Dornoch's Alison Bartlett, winner of the Northern Counties women's championship a few weeks, added an even more prestigious title to her collection when she won the Scottish senior women's amateur stroke play championship for the first time at Elgin Golf Club today.
Third in the championship three years ago, when she also was the first-round leader, Alison was not headed on this occasion - although it was a close run thing in the end.
Noreen Fenton (Dunbar) and Alison were level at six over par for the tournament with three to play, one shot ahead of West Vet Liz Keohone (Loudoun Gowf)
The Royal Dornoch player, secretary of the Northern Counties Ladies Golf Association, kept her cool under pressure and parred the last three holes.
That made the winning difference in the final analysis. Noreen bogeyed the 16th and double bogeyed the 17th. The Dunbar player did finish with a birdie but it was too late to repair the damaged.
Bartlett's rounds of 75 and 79 for 10 over par 154 won her the title by two shots from four players on 156 - Noreen Fenton (76-80), Liz Keohone (77-79), Anne Ryan (Tain) (79-77) and West Vet Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) 77 79.
Defending champion West Vet Captain Anne Telfer (Milngavie) finished down the field with scores of 82 and 86 for 168. She did not make leading 16 who will now contest the Scottish senior women's match-play championship at the same venue over the next two days.
