Pamela Williamson of Baberton finished the top Scot in the Spanish Senior Individual Championship at the Santa Ponsa Golf Club in Mallorca, today. With two consistent scores of 88 and 87 she finished in joint 33rd position, two strokes less than Suzanne Cadden of Cardross and three less than Lesley Johnston of Gullane who were overnight Scottish leaders yesterday. Of all the Scots only Janice Paterson of Drumpellier and Susan Penman (Gullane) improved on their first round scores, both by five strokes. The overall winner of the competition was the beautifully stylistic player from France, Cecilia Mourgue d'Algue who brought in two scores of 80 and an impressive 76. Cecilia has won this competition before at least once in 2005.
The scores on the whole are quite high so it is to be assumed the weather and general conditions were difficult. It is unknown whether this competition was played on the Santa Ponsa No 1 or No 2 course. The No 1 course is known to be very long with all the usual hazards plus much water. The No 2 has great lakes which are placed strategically to entice wayward balls and shoot up the scores. This course apparently also has its 18th green on an island which has the shape of Mallorca. Perhaps one of our East Vets has conveniently taken a photograph of this and might be persuaded to share it with us on her return.
