Fife based players took all 4 places in
this morning semi-finals of the 2016 Championship played at Crieff in ever
changing weather. The morning started in
glorious sunshine which last for about 9 holes before intermittent showers
arrived. Emma Wilson, Elie and
Earlsferry Ladies and 2002 Champion, had a close game with Aileen Baker, Crail
which resulted in a win for Emma at 17th. In the second semi Lorna McKinley’s, Dunnikier
Park, excellent putting proved too strong for Lorna Bennett, Ladybank, and won
by 5&4.
The final had to contend with increasingly
heavy showers of rain and an easterly wind and Lorna got off to a flying start
by winning the first 3 holes. Emma
battled on didn’t quite manage to take the opportunities to pull back Lorna’s
lead. The result was a 7 and 5 win for
Lorna.
Having entered the Vets last year, Lorna
has had great success in being selected to play for Scottish Vets and Scotland’s
senior team as well as reaching last year’s Midland Vets final, but has gone
one step further in winning the Championship title this year and will go
forward to represent Midlands in the Scottish Vets Championships at Blairgowrie
in September.
