Midland Vets Committee Outing

The committee held their annual committee outing at Falkirk Carmuirs on Wednesday (26th September).  Thank you to Winifred for organising the day - we had great fun with dry weather overhead, even if the course was a little wet underfoot!

 

SVLGA Blairgowrie - Tuesday Greensomes

Congratulations to Emma Wilson and Alison Houston who won the Beddows Quaich for the best nett score and the Tony Moffat Quaich for the best scratch score over Blairgowrie Lansdowne today.  Emma and Alison scored 82 less 8.8 = 73.2 beating Eleanor Anton and Mary Burgess from North Divison by .6!  They also beat fellow Midland Vet members Heather Anderson and Gillian Wallace for the scratch trophy on the better inward half as Heather and Gillian also scored 82.  The weather was sunny and bright today, an improvement on Monday afternoon, and all enjoyed their 2 days at Blairgowrie.

SVLGA Blairgowrie Autumn Meeting

Midland Vets had a successful day at Blairgowrie today (Monday) in the SVLGA Autumn Meeting.  Midland Secretary Alison Houston won the Patrick Rosebowl for the best nett score of 72 on the bih from Anna Telfer of West Vets.  Joyce Murdoch was 4th with 73.  Midland Vets have won this trophy for the last 3 years (Heather Anderson won in 2011 and Moira Begbie won in 2010).  Previous winners include Winifred MacCallum, Sheila Travers and Muriel McPherson. 

Combining Alison and Joyces's scores with nett scores of 77 from both Emma Wilson and Norma Fleming, Midland were joint winners with West Vets of the Lyon Trophy for the best 3 nett scores from any Division.  The CSS for the day was 76.

Autumn Meeting at Alloa Schawpark on Friday 7th September

74 Midland Vet Ladies enjoyed the parkland course of Alloa for their Autumn Meeting.  Though the day started with a little drizzle, and there was one shower of rain, the day was pleasant and warm.  The course was in reasonable condition considering the amount of rain we have had and, as always, some of our members managed to master the conditions, and returned good scores.  The CSS for the competition was 75 (SSS 72, Par 73).

The winner of the Patrick Rosebowl (awarded for the best scratch score), on a very tight countback from Linda McDonald, with a score of 79, was Linda Dyball. 

The winner of the 'Owl' Trophy (for younger Vets aged under 65!) was Dorothy Whytock with 93-19=74.  The winner of the Senior Trophy (for the rest of the Vets) was Midland Vets Captain - Winifred MacCallum with 83-11=72
