Our East Division Champion Karen Ferguson-Sneddon played in the SVLGA Championships for a third year in a row having won the previous two.


Having just spent the last few weeks here there and everywhere with her golf and in particular representing Scotland for the SVLGA & Scottish Seniors (along with teammates Karen Marshall and Hilary Laughland) perhaps this was one event too many to finish the season.


Karen had a great win on Sunday afternoon against Jane Grubb (North) but was just pipped at the 18th by Ruth Hunter (West) in Monday morning’s Semi Final.


The eventual SVLGA Champion is Martine Pow (Borders) who beat Ruth in the Final.

All the Championships are played over The Lansdowne course.


Congratulations Martine pictured here with Marjorie Rae SVLGA President.

Meanwhile on Monday over The Rosemount course our Mairi Pollock had a very solid round in the singles strokeplay with a gross 78/nett 69 which secured the Patrick Rosebowl Trophy. Congratulations Mairi.

Tuesday was our day for the Greensomes strokeplay over The Lansdowne. The Beddows Quaichs were won by Liz Fertacz and Jane Cameron (Midland) nett 69 and the Tony Moffat Quaichs by Fran Millar and Louise Graham (North) scratch 77.

East Division best were Lesley Campbell and Katy Gillies.


Well done to all the East members lucky to have played this and fully embraced the whole event. Thanks so much to all of those who play & support this Division, all very much appreciated by me for the fun we have.
