The West Vets Championship and Stewart Trophy took place at Renfrew Golf Course over the last two days.
 Thursday was a very wet day and all players got a soaking. Some good golf was played nevertheless and some matches had to go to extra holes. The semi-finals and finals took place on Friday (today) and apart from a strong wind and one or two showers, the sun shone most of the time. Lesley Lloyd (Hayston) --- Lanarkshire County Champion emerged the winner of the West Vets Championship in her first year with us and many congratulations go to Lesley. She deserves a rest this weekend after some of her matches had to go to extra holes - The semi final against Renfrewshire County Champion Gillian Kyle going to the 21st Hole !

Margaret Gray (Old Ranfurly) was a worthy winner of the Stewart Trophy in its first year and congratulations go to her as well. Golf is a serious game but there is always the amusing moments. Lynn McColl was bemoaning the fact that she lost three Titleist Pro V1 balls on the course during her semi-final against Margaret but Morag Key lost one ball in a ballwasher! Now, can anyone beat that? We also encountered a little grey squirrel at the 4th hole who managed to get into Marion Stewart's golf bag in the morning round and Margaret Gray's golf bag in the afternoon round. Sorry to say that neither keep any goodies for little squirrels in their bags!

S.V.L.G.A. ( West ) Championship at Largs Kelburne

On a blustery but sunny day 72 ladies played at Largs Kelburne in the S.V.L.G.A. (West ) Championship. 
The course was in beautiful condition, the green keepers being very kind by putting the flags in accessible places particularly at the 1st where Helen Burnett even had a 2.

Thanks go to Secretary Morag Keys for organising this event so successfully despite all the earlier hiccups and also to Largs Kelburne and Captain Doreen Reid for accomodating us so warmly.

Thanks also go to all helpers and players (everyone arrived in time thanks to Morag's warnings) who helped this event go so smoothly.

Players found conditions very tricky and as a result the competition was reduction only.
Well done to two of our elderly players who battled round the course despite their trolleys breaking down half way round.

RESULTS: SSS 73, CSS 76 (Reduction Only)
Scratch:  Lesley Lloyd (Hayston) 83 bih
2nd Scratch Liz Keohone (Loudoun Gowf) 83

Silver
1st:  Liz Keohone (Loudoun Gowf)  77
2nd Christine Fowler (Cowglen) 87 (9) 78 bih
3rd Helen Robertson (Douglas Park) 91 (13) 78

Bronze
