MVLGA CHAMPIONSHIP - FINAL
The Final of the Midland Vets Ladies Championship took place at Tulliallan Golf Club this afternoon between Lorna McKinlay (Dunnikier) and Elaine Moffat (St Regulus).
As always, the match was played in a friendly but competitive manner. Elaine got off to a great start and, with birdies at the 6th and 9th, was 4up after the first 10 holes. Lorna then fought back to win three of the next five holes to be only 1 down after 15 holes. However, Elaine then birdied the 16th to go back to 2up. The 17th was halved in par 4's, meaning Elaine won the match 2&1. Congratulations to Elaine for winning the Championship for the second time.
Many thanks to all the spectators who came along to support the players - much appreciated.
Thanks to Tulliallan Golf Club for making us all so welcome. The condition of the course was fantastic and we would like to congratulate the greenkeeping staff and members for all their hard work.Supporters enjoying the match |
