Blairgowrie

SVLGA Championship Result
Sheena Wood (Aberdeen Ladies) has won the Scottish Veteran Ladies Golf Association match-play championship over the Lansdowne course, Blairgowrie for a second time in three years against Jennifer Bryans (Turnhouse) by 4 and 3 in Monday's final. It was Jennifer who beat Sheena in last year's final when the Aberdeen player was defending the title she won in 2016.
Jennifer won the first with a birdie 4 but was soon brought back to square after three holes and Sheena gradually applied the pressure and was two up at the turn.
Jennifer had chances early in the second half but the soft conditions made it difficult to capitalize on them. Sheena sank a very long par putt on the 12th, when it looked like Jennifer's hole all the way, to go three up, and the game finished on the 15th with Sheena winning 4 and 3.
Sheena beat Tain's Mary Smith 3 and 2 in the morning semi-finals while Jennifer beat Margaret Locke (Dumfries and Galloway) 5 and 3.
Congratulations to Jennifer for a great effort in defending her title.

The weather on Monday morning was very wet with the Championship being delayed by 30 minutes.
The Patrick Rose Bowl on the Rosemount Course was also delayed by an hour and a half. This meant that the late players had to play in fours. Unfortunately the last few groups finished their rounds in the dark
