It was a beautifully sunny day at Renfrew Golf Club and there was some very good golf played and the scores did not reflect that in many of the games.

Anabel Kane (Kilmacolm) was the surprise player of the day. She won in the 1st round against Ayrshire County Team member Roz Purdom (Prestwick St Nicholas)  and then played fabulous golf in the afternoon quarter final against defending champion Lesley Lloyd (Hayston) .
It was a fantastic game which ended on the 18th green. Lesley was in bunker at the 18th green in two and Anabel was just short of bunker. Anabel chipped on to about 10 feet above the hole. Lesley pitched out of bunker to about 15-20 feet past and level with the hole. Lesley then slotted it in for a par and Anabel who was 1 up after 17th then had to hole a downhill twisty putt to win the game.
West Vet's Treasurer Mo Neilson and past Secretary Morag Key couldn't watch but just heard it drop in!! -- What a fantastic game they both said. -- Thanks go to Morag for all the info .
The 2015 West Vets Champion Lesley accepted her defeat graciously and congratulated Anabel on her win.

Thursday promises to be another lovely day and all today's winners looking forward to doing battle again!

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

CAROL WHYTE HAS THE BEST SCORE IN THE SUMMER MEETING AT CALDWELL GOLF CLUB


Before providing a report on the Summer Meeting today on behalf of the West Vets we would like to wish Anna Telfer a very speedy recovery and hope the Medical Staff at the QEU Hospital have her home soon.

As we have become adept at playing in windy conditions over the last three weeks, the elements decided to challenge us yet again at Caldwell.  The skills of 78 ladies were severely tested, but as usual there were some stars.

Carol Whyte (Milngavie) scored an impressive 79 gross, with Anne Judge (Ranfurly Castle) winning the Silver Division with a 73 net (acb) over Carol Sim (Balmore) also with a 73 net.  Division 2 was won by local player Pat Robertson with a net 78, narrowly beating Lyn Black (Eastwood) with a net 79.


Super Vet of the Meeting was Evy MacGregor (Ranfurly Castle) with a net 77.  There were five 2's but special mention goes to Helen McGibbon (Kilmarnock Barassie) for a marvellous eagle 2 at the par 4 6th hole.

I
Sally had a Hole in One at the 9th hole at the West Vets Spring Meeting at 
Prestwick St Cuthberts in 2010

Sally Coster (Hilton Park) pictured above with her playing partners Mamie Robin from Elderslie and Anne McKellar from Whitecraigs who had enjoyed the great event. It was Sally's 3rd Hole in One and many of the competitors enjoyed a wee glass of wine back in the clubhouse --- Compliments of Sally.

It is with great sadness I have to announce that West Vets'  Sally Coster died yesterday at home on Monday 9th February 2016. 

Sally played off a handicap of 4 in her early golfing years and was selected to play for the Scottish Vets Team at that time

A Past Captain of D&A and Past President of SVLGA had been a member of many clubs --St Andrews (St Rule), Crail, Hilton Park, Buchanan Castle  and Troon Ladies

Sally was President of the Scottish Vets Team when West Vets' Past Captain Helen Faulds was Captain of the Scottish Vets Team

Helen says -

"She was a huge help to me in many ways" .
"She was extremely knowledgeable about golfing matters, very observant at watching players and able to see faults in their swing. (I know that because she did it with me  !!)
"The players in the team were very happy to take her advice which was always given in a quiet measured manner. This ability was put to good use as she was asked to become a selector for the Scottish Teams which she really enjoyed."
"Sally had a very dry sense of humour and was extremely popular with our players, the Irish and the English players and the Presidents of all other divisions."

Sally will be most certainly missed by all.
The funeral will take place  at Maryhill CrematoriumG23 5AAGlasgow at 3pm, Thursday 18th February.

Message from  SVLGA President Gillian Kirkwood relating to last Monday's competition.

As some of you will know, the Patrick Rosebowl over Rosemount on Monday 21st September was played in very adverse conditions, with torrential rain in the middle of the day causing the course to be closed and play to be suspended. 

This decision was made by the greenkeeper, as the sixth hole was completely surrounded by casual water. Unfortunately the players out on the course did not know this, and those on the course after the sixth carried on playing. We were very close to abandoning the competition altogether, and had given ourselves a deadline of 2:15 to get play started again, as players at the end of the field would not have finished in daylight if they had started any later. 

 At 2:15 the rain had relented, the sixth had drained and play from the first tee resumed. The delay was approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. Those of us on the committee assumed that the competition would be a "Reduction Only" but when it came to calculate the CSS, there were sufficient players within their buffer zone to make the CSS 77. 

 According to the CONGU Rules, we could not declare the competition non-counting once it had started. Nor could we manipulate the scores to alter the CSS to be Reduction Only. 

I have to apologise to the players out on the course during the deluge, who did not know that play had been suspended and carried on as best they could. Yes… we should have let you know, but klaxons, buggies and volunteers were not to hand. 

 The tree-lined fairways are lovely but they do hamper communication. If we could declare the competition Reduction Only we would do so in an instant. 

 Yours sincerely Gillian Kirkwood'

Day 2  - (Scotland v North of England) 


Scotland did slightly better than yesterday with a win in the foursomes against North of England to go into lunch 2 matches to 1 down

Sheena Wood and Lesley Lloyd lost to Cath Rawthorne and Gill Mellor 1 hole
Alison Bartlett and Alex Glennie beat Barbara Laird and Julie Wheeldon 3 and 1

In the singles in the afternoon --
Lesley Lloyd had the most substantial win for Scotland, with a 2 and 1 victory over Barbara Laird.   The other five singles matches went to the last green.   Sheena Wood led the order and lost by one hole to Sue Dye.  Lorna McKinlay, Gillian Kyle and Alex Glennie halved with Caroline Berry, Julie Wheeldon and Chris Stokes respectively.
Meg Sievwright, from Buckpool, made one of the most amazing come-backs in the history of the competition.  Six down after 7 holes,  and still six down after 10 against past British Seniors Champion, Janet Melville,  she dug deep and clawed her way back to be all square playing the last.  Unfortunately a lost ball in the right rough spoilt the "Come-Back Kid" story,  and she lost by one hole, but all credit to her determination not to be beaten out in the country.

Lesley Lloyd beat Barbara Laird 2 and 1

EARLIER REPORT
Scotland's singles record in the Veteran Ladies Jamboree at Sherwood Forest Golf Club, Nottingham is much better than their foursomes. Not match-winning but at least respectable.
Against the Midlands this afternoon the singles were halved with three points each, to make the result 6-3 in the Midlands favour.
Meg Sievwright led the order against British Seniors Champion, Julie Brown, and although beaten 4 and 3, she was only 1 over par.
Lorna McKinlay was one up playing the last against Lindsay Shaw, and a half in bogey 5s secured our first point.
Sheena Wood was one down playing the last against Carol Wild, and a cast iron 4 earned her half a point.
Lorna Bennett was also one down against Helen Lowe, and also won the hole to secure another half point.
Alison Bartlett beat Mary MacLaren by 4 and 3 and Lesley Lloyd went down by 5 and 4 against Sue Spencer.
