Alice Archbold wins Rescheduled Spring Meeting

The weather foreast was not the best and everyone expected the rain to sweep in and ruin the day but it didn't. There may have been rain all around but it left Gullane Links like a dry oasis in the desert.

Only 51 ladies eventually took part in the rescheduled Spring meeting against the 96 entrants for the original day two weeks ago, but they all agreed it was a splendid day, with plenty sun, very little wind for Gullane and not much more than a quick skoosh from the average car giving a dirty windscreen a quick clean. Apart from several rueful expressions of "couldn't putt" in general the day was definitely given the thumbs up. The jauntiest thumb belonged to Alice Archbold (10) from Gullane whose nett 65 was the target for the best part of the day. Karen Ballantyne (Craigmillar Park) and Noreen Fenton (Dunbar) shared the scratch lead with a 74 but Karen took the prize owing to the best last six holes. Christine Reid (Kilspindie) coming in in the very last group, was the winner of the bronze division with an excellent net 70.

There were five two's, Alice Archbold and Marjory Lauder on the 8th, Noreen Fenton on the 11th, Caroline Kinnaird on the 13th and Margaret Thompson on the 15th. The CSS was 70.
