The semi finals and finals of the West Vets Championship were completed at Renfrew Golf Club today under blue skies and warm sunshine.
The first semi final played between Jennifer Mack (Haggs Castle) and Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) was a very closely contested match which Jennifer won at the 17th. Never up until the latter stage of the match, Jennifer played solidly to come out on top.
The second semi final between Pat Hutton (Lanark) and Janette McCartney (Erskine) was a game of two halves. Janette took a commanding lead in the first 7 holes. Pat played her way back into the match which went all the way to the 18th where she claimed victory. An exciting match - well played by both.
A break for a well earned lunch and then the finals at 2pm. The morning was very hot with virtually no wind and it was good for everyone that there was a slight breeze in the afternoon.
The final between Pat and Jennifer was not quite as tightly contested as the semi finals and in the end Pat was the worthy winner. Well done Pat - SVLGA(West Division) Champion for 2011. Commiserations to Jennifer who had two very good wins on her way to the final.
Pat will compete at Blairgowrie in September against the other Scottish Division winners for the Scottish Vets 2011 title. We wish her the very best of luck.
The Bronze final was played between May McGhee (Balmore) and Mary Irving (Ranfurly Castle). Both played very well and it was a very well contested match. Our congratulations go to May who played steadily and came out on top winning 4 & 2. Well done May and congratulations to Mary on reaching the final with a good win in the semis.
When our favourite webmaster Carol returns from what I am sure will have been a wonderful 2 days celebrating her 60th birthday I am sure she will post on the web, photos which Anna Telfer and I have tried to take to Carol's high standards!!
