MATCH VS WEST VETS

It's said that a picture tells a story better than words! No doubt about who won the annual scratch match between West Vets and East Vets  for the Elise Duncan Trophy :

Anne Brownie (East Vice-Captain) presents the Trophy to West Vets Captain Anna Telfer.  Congratulations to the West Vets on retaining the Trophy with an 8 to 1  win, though some of the individual matches were much closer than the overall margin of victory.

The match this year took place at West Kilbride GC which was a great venue being in lovely condition and with wonderful scenery especially looking over to Arran. Above all it was DRY!!!!There had been torrential rain in the East the day before and it was still raining on the drive through to the West coast  but as we entered Ayrshire the rain went off and did not return. Despite the margin of defeat, many of the East Team who had never   played West Kilbride before would be keen to return having enjoyed the course if not the result.  Fortunately for the East, Lesley Johnston saved a whitewash.

As ever, the hospitality was super: everyone enjoyed the match and the opportunity to renew or make friendships - as can be seen from the selection of photos .
