Autumn Meeting played at Cardross and SVLGA AGM and Championship at Blairgowrie ends another season

Many thanks to webmaster Carol who beat me to it recording the result and giving you all a report on the Autumn Meeting held at Cardross on Thursday! I had a commitment straight from Cardross and by the time I went to my computer Friday morning the report was there for me to read! How lucky were we with the weather? The day got better and better as the hours went by and the threatening cloud at 9.30 drifted away leaving everyone to have a rain free round!

Very well done to both Joanna Scott and Suzanne Cadden for recording such good scores on a course which played very long after such heavy rain had battered it overnight - on top of all the other rain that has fallen recently. Congratulations to Joanna who won the May Craddock Trophy for the best net score of the day.

I can't believe that we are already well into September and another golf season is almost complete. May I say thank you to all those who were able to support our competitions this year and I hope you enjoyed the courses you played on each occasion. We are very lucky to be given

courtesy of all the courses we play and we are indebted to the courses concerned, for their welcome and support. It is becoming more and more difficult for courses to give up tee time for nothing, as we all know, and I just hope everyone appreciates that in future years this may not be so readily available.

The SLVGA annual three days of golf and AGM take place from September 18th-20th at Blairgowrie. All the Scottish Divisional winners will play match play to determine the SVLGA Champion for 2011. We wish Pat Hutton (Lanark), our West Division Champion, good luck for a successful two days. There are several other West Division Vets going to play in other competitions taking place and we wish them all a successful and fun two days.
