The Jamboree matches will take place from the 8th to the 10th of August at Frilford Heath GC, Oxfordshire. The foursomes matches start at 8.30am and the singles at 1.05pm each day. If anyone should be in the area and would like to come and support us, you would be made most welcome.

WEST VETS NARROWLY LOSE OUT TO EAST VETS IN THE ELISE DUNCAN TROPHY AT MORTONHALL GOLF CLUB

Mortonhall Golf Club was the perfect setting for the Annual East v West Vets Match for the Elise Duncan Trophy. The fine, testing course along with the good weather was enjoyed by all, but the East Vets retained the Trophy, narrowly beating the West 5-4.
The match couldn’t have had a better start, with Donna Jackson achieving an eagle 2 at the first hole ! However despite losing overall, there was lots of good golf played, and all players should feel justifiably proud of their commitment and effort.
As usual the camaraderie was evident on the course and in the clubhouse during the meal, and we must thank Mortonhall G.C. and East Vets Captain Caroline Kinnaird for hosting such an enjoyable day.
The results were as follows:- (West Team players first named)
Donna Jackson lost to Jennifer Bryans 2 & 1
Gillian Kyle halved with Anne Hanson
Lesley Lloyd beat Sue Penman 5 & 4
Nicky Henderson halved with Carol Brown
Roz Purdom beat Dawn Young 4 & 3
May Hughes lost to Anne Brownie by 1 hole
Robina Gilbertson beat Sophia Spiewak 9 & 7
Jennifer Mack lost to Linda Grieve by 1 hole
Anabel Kane lost to Hazel Saunders 4 & 3
Finally all in the team ( and I’m sure other West Vets ) are thinking of Liz Stewart, and we hope to hear better news soon about her Mum.

LIZ STEWART WINS THE 2017 WEST VETS CHAMPIONSHIP
![]() |
| Liz Keohone and Championship winner Liz Stewart |
For once we were treated to some wonderful weather, which showed Renfrew Golf Club at its best. The fairways were in very good condition, but all players found the greens very difficult due to dressings which had been sprayed beforehand.
The morning’s play saw 3 of the 4 matches tied after 9 holes, and in the 4th match Carole Hill (Hilton Park) was in control and eventually ran out the winner by 5 & 4 over Glynis Rintoul (Old Ranfurly) to reach the final of the Stewart Trophy. In the other semi-final, the players had to go down the 18th before Morag Key (Ralston) eventually prevailed over Helen Burnet (Hilton Park), winning by 2 holes.
In the Championship, both semi-final matches were keenly contested with some great golf, and it took a birdie by Liz Keohone (Loudoun Gowf) to see off Nicky Henderson (Haggs Castle) by 2 & 1 and reach the final. In the other semi-final, Liz Stewart (Greenburn) found Anabel Kane (Kilmacolm) a difficult opponent to beat, especially as both played the front 9 in 39. It took 2 long putts by Liz to secure victory on the 16th green.
In the Championship Final, Liz Stewart got off to a good start and was quickly 2 up. Several holes thereafter were halved until Liz Stewart pulled away to be 4 up. However as expected, Liz Keohone pegged 2 holes back but was unable to force the game down the 18th, so Liz Stewart became the Champion for the first time.

| Carole Hill - Stewart Cup Winner and Morag Key |
The Stewart Trophy Final proved another tough effort between new Vet Carole Hill and the ‘evergreen’ Morag Key. Considering that both ladies are not used to playing 2 rounds in a day, especially in those warm conditions, they played consistently good golf. However the ‘youngster’ Carole eventually prevailed on the 16th green, winning 3 & 2.
We would like to thank Renfrew Golf Club once again for hosting the 2 days play, and all members who were most welcoming. Thanks also to the small number of spectators who walked the fairways, and finally we are indebted (as usual !) to Carol Fell for her skills in keeping the website up to date, and for her photos. -- Click here for some Photos of the day -- - courtesy of June Lockhart and Carol Fell

WEST VETS CHAMPIONSHIP FIRST ROUND AND QUARTER FINAL RESULTS -
The morning’s play in the Championship started with a tie between 2 of the favourites, Donna Jackson and Lesley Lloyd. This match was tight all the way until Donna clinched it on the 18th. Another 18 hole nail biter took place where Anne Shanks edged out Lynn McColl, but the tie between Roz Purdom and Lorraine Campbell had to go down the 19th before Roz proved victorious.
The other winners in round 1 were Nicky Henderson, Liz Keohone, Liz Stewart, Anabel Kane and May Hughes.
The afternoon’s play in the Championship saw more exciting games, although it was rather spoiled by rain which was not forecast to all except Morag Key !!
This time Roz Purdom could not prevail going down the 19thagain, as Liz Stewart won through to the semi-final.
Nicky Henderson and Donna Jackson served up a tight game as did Anabel Kane and May Hughes.
Congratulations go to both Nicky and Anabel for winning through to the semi-finals.
The last semi-finalist will be Liz Keohone, but I’m sure she will join me in congratulating her opponent Anne Shanks, who has done so well in her first season with the Vets.
The afternoon also saw 4 ties in the Stewart Cup, with Helen Burnet, Morag Key, Carole Hill and Glynis Rintoul progressing to the semi-finals.
The Championship Final will take place at 2pm, followed immediately by the Stewart Cup Final at 2.10pm.
Supporters will be most welcome, so please come along and enjoy the day’s play.

The vital Scottish victories in the singles came from Lorna McKinlay (Midland), Gillian Kyle (West) and Aberdeen Ladies stalwart Sheena Wood (Northern).
Donna Jackson (West) and Buckpool's Meg Seivwright (Highland) halved their singles.

SPRING MEETING OVER EAST KILBRIDE -- HARD TO TAME THE COURSE AND THE WIND !!
It was great to have 82 ladies testing their early season skills at East Kilbride on a dry but very windy day. The conditions contrived to lengthen some holes on an already long course !!
However some Vets deserve praise for managing to almost tame the course.
In particular, Dorothy Horsefield (Crail) was the overall winner with an excellent nett 73, with runner-up Lilias Snodgrass (Ranfurly Castle) achieving a nett 75 (bih), and Sara Scott (Troon Ladies) was 1st in the Bronze Division with a nett 78.
Lilias Snodgrass (Net 75) also was the Super Vet winner with Lana MacDonald (Hilton Park) one shot behind. with a net 76. The best gross score of the day was achieved by Liz Stewart (Greenburn) with 79.
Despite the difficult conditions, everyone seemed to come off the course with a smile – or was it just relief !!
However we look forward to having a big field for our Summer Meeting at Ralston. Thanks go to Marion Stewart and Anne Dunn for their work throughout the day.
