WEST VETS SPRING MEETING -- MANY BRAVE THE ELEMENTS !!

Marion Hamilton (Kilmarnock Barassie)
Overall Winner of the West Vets Spring Meeting

Glasgow Gailes was the venue for the much anticipated 2019 Spring Meeting of the West Vets. 

A total of 113 ladies entered the competition, looking forward to the opportunity to play over this fabulous links, which has been host to 32 international championships since 1927. 

However, the Scottish weather had different ideas. 

Spring was not evident over the Ayrshire links and the vets had conscious decisions to make on whether or not to brave the elements.

A total of 59 ladies ventured out - and to be honest, they should all be congratulated. 

Liz Stewart ( after 18 holes)  Liz Wilson, Anna Telfer and Gillian Kyle (after 18 holes)

Carol and Evy could only manage 1 hole but did enjoy the catering and chat

Others stayed inside and enjoyed a selection of teas, coffees, scones, soup and bacon rolls. The jury is still out on who made the right call!

Gillian Kyle (East Renfrewshire) recorded the best scratch of the day with an 83. 
Best net of the day was Marion Hamilton (Kilmarnock Barassie) with 92 - 14 =78. 
Supervet and runner up was Anne Judge (Ranfurly Castle) with 91 - 11 = 80.
