West v East Vets at Strathaven GC August 9th 2022

 What a fantastic day out this was for our annual Greensomes Match versus our West Vets counterparts.

Strathaven Golf Club must be the first to be mentioned for their wonderful hospitality to us all. From all the East Vets I wish to thank the Golf Club and all involved for hosting us so well

at the Clubhouse for the ‘befores’ and lovely meal after the match. 

The course is one to behold. Challenging lines from the tees and slick greens with borrows you need to know! Strathaven is a course you all should seek out to play. Fantastic.

I thank May & her West Team for hosting this annual match and congratulate them all for winning back the ASP Friendship Trophy 3 ½ v 1 ½ for this year.

East Vets send our best wishes - have a lovely time and play well.

Well played Hilary Laughland at Royal Dornoch in the British Seniors Championships where she made the cut and finished tied for 37th in a very strong international field.

Somewhat belatedly, congratulations and really well done to Karen-Ferguson-Snedden on defending her Scottish Senior Women’s Open Championship title at Stranraer. The final was a close match with Karen defeating Australia’s Sue Wooster on the 19th hole. We are all very proud of you, Karen. What an great final you played.

Well done all of you for such great achievements. East Vets are flying this year!

East Vets Championship Finals Day Report from July 9th 2022 at Haddington Golf Club

 

What a super day we all had at Haddington GC for our Championship finals day. Both morning semis were extremely competitive games. The day was a beautifully warm sunny day but with a stiff wind and a fiery course it all added to the day’s drama.

 

 

 

 

The first match between Karen Marshall and Wendy Nicholson was tight with no more than 1 hole in it all the way with Wendy holding her nerve to see it won on 18^th and make her first final as an East Vet.

 

 

The match between Karen Fergusson-Sneddon and Caroline Steedman was more a game of 2 halves. Karen was well up quickly in the first half, but Caroline did a brilliant job of staying cool and clawing the match back to all square at the 15^th. Both played great shots into both 16^th and 17^th greens and the match stayed all square down the very tricky final hole where Karen managed to secure her place in the final.

The Champs final match was played so well for by both Wendy and Karen. We were treated to a good ding-dong battle with some great shots and very solid putting. High standard golf by both players. Karen got a jump on it in the front nine to go to 3up but there was a fight back on from Wendy with some solid ball striking later in the game. Karen had enough in the tank though to pull through with a win at the 17^th hole.

Congratulations to our EV Champ for 2022 Karen Ferguson-Snedden & all the best to you in September at the Blairgowrie Vets Jamboree.

 

And finally….

As you will see from all the pictures here, I can most happily report we have our Captain Sue back with us and what a lift that has given us all. Welcome back Sue.
