2021 Championship 5-10th July at Haddington Golf Course

    Quarter final results: 

            Caroline Steedman bt Jenni Ray

            Sal Shepherd lost to Dawn Young

            Barbara Biggart lost to Karen Marshall

            Jennifer Bryans lost to Ann Sewell

Saturday 10th July took us to the semifinals on (after all the rain) a lovely sunny day with very little wind. The golf course was in beautiful condition.






The results of the semifinals were:





Caroline bt Dawn
  Karen bt Ann

Both matches were keenly fought.

And so we come to the final between Caroline and Karen.



Caroline was quick off the mark and was 3 up by the 5th tee but a visit to the pond reduced this to 2 by the 6th. With interesting shots from the thick rough by Caroline and trees by Karen we get to the turn with Caroline 1 up but par for Karen to bogey for Caroline on the 10th took us to all square. Fast forward to the 15th tee and we are still A/S. Another woody visit by Caroline on the 15th and a brilliant curvy birdie putt by Karen on the 16th took her to 2 up on the 17th tee. (Here our glorious day ended with rain. 4 spectators with one brolly between them! )



A wayward OB tee shot from Caroline gave Karen a win on the 17th green. This was a very enjoyable match to watch, of the highest standard, and, as is often said, it is a pity there has to be a loser. 

  

Well done Karen Marshall – our 2021 East Vets Champion.
