Club Championship Finals

The finals of the Ladies Club Championships were played this morning over the Murrayshall course.


The photograph shows Daphne, Katrina, Aileen and Jean prior to their matches on the first tee.

Aileen Priestley took on Daphne Brill in the final of the Dow competition to decide the winner of the scratch competition.
The competition was tense with the game ebbing and flowing throughout, and this is the way it remained to the 18th hole where Daphne won by two holes.
Congratulations to Daphne who retains the title for a second consecutive year.

In the Jessie Valentine final Katrina Irvine took on Jean McEwan. These two ladies again fought a very close match. At the 17th hole Jean was 1 up and Katrina sank a tremendous putt at the 18th to square the match. The two ladies made their way back to the first tee to play their first extra hole. Two strong drives from Katrina and Jean signalled the start of the rain and out came the umbrellas! Nevertheless our intrepid competitors braved it out and at this first extra hole Katrina again sank another marvellous putt to win the match. Our congratulations go to Katrina on her win.

Both matches were followed keenly by a group of lady members and our thanks go to them for their unstinting support. We also wish to congratulate Aileen and Jean on their tremendous achievement in reaching their respective finals.

So, that concludes the Club Championships for another year. We look forward to great golf again next season.
