Lynn representing Archerfield Links Golf Club who had just returned from the Moroccan Open in the Lalla Meryem Cup the night before was in sparkling form as she entertained a captive audience about her life both as an amateur and a professional,
As an amateur she was the first reserve for the Curtis Cup team 2004; Member of the GB and Ireland Vagliano Team 2003 and Great Britain Commonwealth Team 2003; 1st Scottish Ladies Amateur Championship 2000; 2nd and 3rd in British Ladies Stroke play Championship 2003 and 2002; 1st Scottish Junior Ladies Open Stroke play Championship 2001 and 1999; Scottish Ladies Team 2000-2004, GB and I Squad 2002-2004; Winner British Universities 2002 & 2003; 2001 Won the Catriona Lambert Medal for Outstanding Sporting Achievement and East of Scotland Champion 1998.
Turning  professional in 2004 she has now played in over 100 tournaments and her many tales of the up and downs on the circuit, the players she has played with and the stars she has met made the audience laugh and laugh.
What a wonderful speaker Lynn is as well as a great golfer and also very highly talented squash player. She credited her family especially her Mum, coach Kevin Craggs and the success of Annika Sorenstam as having influenced her to play golf.

Kilmacolm Ladies Captain Rena Simpson  who had arranged the event and who alsohad invited ladies from Elderslie, Old Ranfurly and Ranfurly Castle Golf Clubs to the social evening, thanked Lynn at the end of a very successful evening.
