May Hughes is the 2008 West Vets Champion

 
We had a glorious day at Renfrew for the final of the West Vets Championship today. We also had some fantastic golf to match the weather
After a long and very evenly matched battle which ebbed and flowed all the time May Hughes of Lanark finally overcame Alex Glennie of Kilmarnock Barassie at the 20th Hole. May had putted exceptionally well all throughout the match and it was a long putt on the final green which gained her the Championship.
The Bronze Salver was won by Moira McCartney of Milngavie who was in splendid form to beat Avril Berry of Douglas Park.
