2017 MIDLAND VETS CHAMPIONSHIPS

Congratulations to the 2017 Midland Vets Champion
FIONA DE VRIES

Semi-finals
Fiona de Vries beat Heather Anderson  3 and 2
Elaine Allison  beat Diane Watson  2 and 1

Final
Fiona de Vries  beat Elaine Allison 2 up on the 18th

The semi-final  and final Matches were played at Glenbervie on Wednesday 21st June  in great spirit.  The rain  which had threatened all morning finally arrived during the walk up the 17th during the semis  and then poured down whilst we had lunch.  It got very muggy and all waterproofs came off!

The golf during the Final was very high quality and the Match was extremely close until Fiona played a killing shot to within inches of the pin for a birdie on the 18th!  Congratulations to Fiona, who will go forward to represent Midland in the Scottish Vets Championships at Blairgowrie in September.
