EAST VETS HAVE A CONVINCING WIN AT KILMACOLM

East and West Vets Teams

A strong West Vets team turned up at Kilmacolm determined to win the Elise Duncan Trophy for the first time in several years – but the East Vets team had other ideas, achieving an excellent 7-2 victory. However 4 of the 9 games went to the 18^th, and Donna Jackson had an impressive 5 & 4 win.

  

We are indebted to Kilmacolm Golf Club for the use of their excellent course, which was enjoyed by all (despite some tricky pin positions !), and the ‘before and afters’ catering was first class.  

Lady Captain Sara Bishop very kindly acted as Starter, and Club Captain Jane McDonald very  thoughtfully donated a Club crystal glass which was presented to East Vet Anne Brownie (pictured left)  who got a hole-in-one at the par 3  12^th hole !

Results : West Team named first

Gillian Kyle (East Renfrewshire) lost to Jennifer Bryans (Harburn) 3 & 1

Donna Jackson (Cochrane Castle) beat Caroline Steedman (Murrayfield) 5 & 4

MID WEST TROPHY RETAINED BY WEST VETS AT COCHRANE CASTLE GC

West and Midland Vets Teams with Captains - June Lockhart and Lorna Bennett

The setting was perfect for the annual West v Midlands Match at Cochrane Castle this afternoon. The weather, the views across the Clyde Valley, the condition of the course, the catering and Clubhouse atmosphere plus the friendliness of the members made this a memorable occasion for all.

Many thanks to the West team for playing so well to win 5 ½ to 1 ½ but Lorna Bennett’s team pushed them hard, especially in the first 3 matches. 

Lorna presents June with the Trophy
