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
Lorna Bennett and Gillian Kyle lost to Janet Melville and Chris stokes 3 and 2


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.

Sheena Wood lost to Sue Dye 1 hole
Lorna McKinlay halved with Caroline Berry
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.
