Spanish seniors - strokeplay singles event

The first day of the singles strokeplay championship in the Spanish Seniors at Cadiz produced some very exotic scores indeed but word has it that due to the inclement weather conditions, completing the full eighteen holes speaks volumes in itself. Only two ladies in the entire field broke 80. Jane Rees from Wales with an incredible 73 and Sheena McElroy from Ireland, well known to Scottish Vets, who had a 79. The only representative from the East Vets, Barbara Biggart from North Berwick, may have been disappointed with her 96 until she came in and found it was not so bad after all. Her partner in the four ball and foursomes, Janice Paterson from Drumpellier, had a very creditable 84 which put her in 15th position with the second round tomorrow. They will all be hoping for better weather. This is a tournament which has often been dogged with disappointing weather and perhaps the organisers may be tempted to consider holding it slightly later in the year, in future.
