EAST VETS BRING HOME THE ASP FRIENDSHIP TROPHY

Congratulations to the successful East Vets Team (pictured below) who defeated the West Vets in the annual foursomes match  on 13th August,  at Troon Portland - meaning that the Asp Friendship Trophy came back East along the M8.

The team enjoyed the wonderful views from the Portland course (when not concentrating on their shots, of course!!) as well as the tremendous condition of the course (though it was best to keep out of the rather long rough).

  As ever, although the matches were competitive with three of them being very close indeed, there was a lot of banter and fun which made for a most enjoyable day, rounded off by a delicious lunch (and yet more golfing and non-golfing stories) in the Portland Clubhouse.

Marion Stewart, West Vets Vice Captain, presented the Asp Friendship Trophy to Anne Brownie, East Vets Vice Captain - see photo below.
