MESSAGE FROM PAST CAPTAIN ANNA TELFER

Anna

Hi Everyone
Just wanted to thank you all for your kind mention of me and your good wishes.
Can you believe it?? I'm certainly in shock that my body has let me down so badly!! Who'd have thought it? Certainly not me.
Anyhow I am being well looked after in here and trying to be patient whilst my heart races on.
Once it calms down they will be able to organise suitable medication and I'll be right as rain again. I've spent most of the time dozing and not even the sight of that lovely sunshine has tempted me - I REALLY must be ill!!
Usually I'd be champing at the bit.

Was gutted to miss the Summer Meeting at Caldwell although it looked like really tricky conditions. Great video of Heather by the way. She's one amazing woman.
Lungs are now clear so that's one tablet fewer and a step nearer. Heart still too fast so I remain on the monitor but hopefully by tomorrow it'll be slow enough for them to do an ultra sound which will help with diagnosis and further treatment.
I'll hopefully see you back on the fairways soon
Another couple of days should see me sorted I hope
Cheers Anna x

Two Ladybank players - Kathleen Webster and Lorna Bennett - are through to the semi-finals of the Scottish Senior Women's Amateur Match-play Championship at West Linton Golf Club where morning flooding delayed the start of the day's play by several hours.
It was well into the evening before Webster, Bennett, Fiona Hunter (Southerness) and Kathleen Sutherland (Royal Montrose) achieved the victories that took them through to the last four.
Webster and Bennett are in opposite halves of the draw so an all-Ladybank final is possible - although Fiona Hunter and Kathleen Sutherland will do their very best to prevent it.
Webster's 19th hole win over May Hughes (Lanbark) was the tie of the delayed quarter-finals.
It was the slaughter of the seeds in the first round.
The top three seeds - stroke-play champion West Vets Captain Anna Telfer (Milngavie), No 2 Heather Anderson (Blairgowrie), the defending champion, and Margaret Tough (Falkirk) - were all knocked out in their first ties.
No 1 qualifier Anna Telfer lost at the 19th to the last of the 16 qualifiers Louise Graham (Carnoustie Ladies) who was later herself beaten by Fiona Hunter.

ANNA TELFER WINS THE 2013 SCOTTISH SENIORS STROKE PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

Anna with her trophy -- Courtesy of Janice Paterson

West Vets Captain Anna Telfer (Milngavie) is the new Scottish Senior women's amateur stroke-play champion. 

She won the title in tough conditions at West Linton, despite a second-round 79 for an 11-over-par 36-hole total of 155.

Two behind at halfway, the key to Anna's final round was a brace of birdie 2s. The first came at the short second and the other came vitally at the par three 17th.

The late birdie secured a one shot victory over Heather Anderson (Blairgowrie), who shot a 78 and is now set to defend the matchplay title over the next two days at the same venue. 

Anderson claimed the knock-out crown at Kemnay last year and the top 16 from the Strokeplay Championship now advance to the head to head battles.

West Linton member Margaret Tough and Fiona de Vries  (St Rule) tied for third place on 157 in the strokeplay following final rounds of 78 and 80 respectively.

Kathleen Webster (Ladybank), who had also birdied the second and 17th to lead after the first round on 74 – the low score of the Championship – closed with three bogeys and had to settle for fifth place after an 84.

Scott and Calum  - 2 little super heroes

Yes it is official - Isla Anna Telfer arrived today, September 24th at 10am - to delighted parents David and Karen.
We are all absolutely thrilled - and somewhat in shock because after 10 male Telfers on the trot, we were beginning to think we'd never see a little girl.
Isla weighed in at 7lbs 11 oz and has the same colouring as Scott (and features too)
I make no apologies for being a besotted Granny and have attached a photo taken 5 hours after birth and also one of my 2 little super-heroes (Scott and Calum)
