WHAT A DIFFERENCE A MONTH MAKES !!
92 West Vets put recent horrible weather behind them and took part in the Summer Meeting and Championship Qualifier at Troon Portland in wonderful conditions. Viewing Arran in the background and enjoying good company made those, like myself, forget about the bad scores whilst others revelled in the conditions to produce excellent scores.
Congratulations go to overall winner Alex Glennie (pictured right) with a superb nett 70 (bih), beating Gillian Kyle also with a nett 70, but who had an amazing gross score of 72.
Morag Key |
Special mention must be made of Morag Key (Ralston) who was 3rd overall with a nett 74, but was certainly the Super Vet of the day. There must be something in the Paisley water !

The Committee would like to thank the Ladies of Troon Portland for allowing us the use of their course, and for making us feel so welcome. The catering staff were also first class for both food and service, and the course, though challenging, was in excellent condition.
Finally many thanks go to Sandra Macdougall for all her hard work in the lead up to the event and on the day, admirably aided by Chris Fowler and May Hughes. Thanks also go to Chris and Mary Wylie for their efforts in purchasing our new gilets - VETS WITH STYLE !!
