SHEENA WOOD TEST FOR DOUBLE- CHASING ALEX GLENNIE
By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) is through to the semi-finals in her bid to become the third player in as many years to win both the stroke-play and match-play titles at the Scottish Senior Women's Championships at Fortrose and Rosemarkie Golf Club.
But first she will have to beat a formidable opponent in Sheena Wood (Aberdeen Ladies) in the round of the last four on Saturday morning.
Wood, beaten in last year's final by Martine Pow (Selkirk) who is not defending, won through at the 21st against Lorna McKinlay (Dunnikier Park) after being three up on the 10th tee in the quarter-finals.
Glennie beat Linda Dyball (Pitreavie) by 3 and 2 to reach the last four.
The other semi-final will feature Royal Dornoch American member, Ashley Rose and Kathleen Sutherland (Royal Montrose). Rose was taken to the 18th green in both her ties while Sutherland also won by one hole in her quarter-final against No 2 seed Fiona de Vries (St Rule).

Alex Glennie wins Scottish Seniors Strokeplay Title
Alex Glennie wins title at high-scoring Scottish senior women's championship
By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Despite having only one birdie over 36 holes, Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) won the Scottish senior women's amateur stroke-play championship at Fortrose and Rosemarkie Golf Club today.
Her rounds of 77 and 78 for 13-over-par 155 gave her a two-stroke victory margin from Fiona de Vries (St Rule) (76-81) with Mary Smith (Tain) a further two shots back in third place with scores of 79 and 80.
Overnight leader Wood (Aberdeen Ladies) could manage only seven pars in a second-round 86, which included two triple bogey 7s, and her 11-stroke slump saw her slide down to a fourth place finish.
It was another day of nightmare scoring. One player took a 16 at the par-5 fourth and reached the turn in 66. There was one 11 and six 10s among the other returns.
Even the winner found the going tough. Glennie was out in 39 with a double bogey 6 at the second and another shot shed at the ninth. She then bogeyed four holes in a row from the 10th, dropped another sot at the 16th before notching a lone birdie at the 17th for halves of 39.
Runner-up De Vries had a quadruple bogey 8 at the 17th in an inward 41 for an 81.
An even local knowledge could not save Mary Smith (Tain) from running up two 7s on outward 43.
The leading 16 players qualified for the match-play championship over the next two days.
There was a five-way tie on 170 for the 16th place and, after a comparison of the second rounds, Lynne Fraser (Fortrose and Rosemarkie), who had an 80, was named the last match-play qualifier and, therefore, top seed Glennie's opponent in the first round.
Those who lost out in the countback were Jennifer Bryans (Harburn) 85, Lynn Terry (Cruden Bay) 85, Louise Graham (Carnoustie Ladies) 88 and Christine McAndrew (Nairn Dunbar) 89.

ALEX GLENNIE IS THE BEST WEST VET IN ROUND ONE OF THE 2016 SCOTTISH SENIORS
By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Sheena Wood leads the field at the halfway stage of the Scottish senior women's stroke-play championship at Fortrose and Rosemarkie.
The Aberdeeen Ladies GC member shot a first round of four-over-par 75 which was good enough to put her in the pole position, a stroke ahead of Fiona de Vries (St Rule and two ahead of joint third placed Dawn Young (North Berwick) and Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie).
Tain sisters Anne Ryan and Mary Smith, who would know the course better than most, are lying fifth and sixth with scores of 78 and 79 respectively.
Nobody found the course easy. County class player Meg Sievwright (Buckpool), took an 11 at the par-3 fifth hole and required 54 shots for the front nine before she finished in 96.
De Vries had a triple bogey 7 at the second and a double bogey 6 at the 12th in compiling a 76.
Leader Wood had only one birdie, at the 14th, but she avoided major disasters, although bogeying five holes, including the last two when pars would have given her a three-shot lead.
Martine Pow (Selkirk) did not enter this year after winning both the stroke-play and match-play titles 12 months ago on her debut when she beat Wood in the match-play final. Without Pow in the field, Sheena has a chance to be the third double title-winner in a row by the end of the week.

EAST TEAM RETAIN THE ELISE DUNCAN TROPHY
 |
| West Team |
 |
| East Team |
Anne Brownie playing against Patricia Davidson was not even put off by a large branch falling off a tree at the first tee - she had to stop mid swing and managed to regroup and send her drive down the middle of the fairway.
The matches were all very close and the result of the match was not determined until the last game on the course finished May Hughes against Jane Herd which resulted in a draw so the East won 5 / 4.
Results
West names first.
Gillian Kyle (East Renfrewshire) lost 3/2 to Anne Hanson ( Glencorse )
Carol Whyte (Milngavie ) lost 2/1 to Jennifer Bryans ( Harburn )
Lesley Lloyd ( Hayston ) lost 3/2 to Sue Penman ( Gullane )
Liz Stewart (Greenburn ) halved with Lesley Johnston (Gullane )
Jane Finnie (Troon ) won 1 up against Karen Ballantyne (Craigmillar Pk.)
Ros Purdom ( Prestwick St. N. ) won 5/4 against Anne Henderson (Gullane)
May Hughes (Lanark ) halved with Jane Herd (Gullane )
Patricia Davidson ( Erskine ) lost 3/2 to Anne Brownie ( Gullane )
Robina Gilbertson ( Prestwick St. N. ) won 2/1 against Hazel Saunders (Gullane)

GILLIAN KYLE WINS THE WEST VETS CHAMPIONSHIP
 |
| Gillian Kyle (left) is presented the West Vets Championship Trophy Captain Marion Stewart and Carol Whyte |
Carol Whyte ( Milngavie ) had a very close match with Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie ) with Carol winning 2 & 1.
Anabel Kane ( Kilmacolm ) again had a very exciting match - this time against Gillian Kyle ( East Renfrewshire ) with players needing birdies to win holes. Gillian eventually triumphed 3&2.
In the afternoon final Carol Whyte got off to an excellent start and was 2 up after 3 holes but Gillian fought back and was 2 up by the turn. Carol then won the 11th hole to be only 1 down but Gillian upped her game and went on to win 3&2.
Referee - West Vets Captain Marion Stewart was tiring after the first 6 holes and nearly developed tennis elbow as the players were taking it in turns to be in bunkers!
Well done to Gillian who wins the Championship for the first time and goes forward to play at Blairgowrie to play in the S.V.L.G.A. Championship.

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!It was a fantastic game which ended on the 18th green.

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.
