Glasgow Gailes was the venue yesterday for the much anticipated 2019 Spring Meeting of the West Vets. 

A total of 113 ladies entered the competition, looking forward to the opportunity to play over this fabulous links, which has been host to 32 international championships since 1927. 

However, the Scottish weather had different ideas. 

Spring was not evident over the Ayrshire links and the vets had conscious decisions to make on whether or not to brave the elements.

A total of 59 ladies ventured out - and to be honest, they should all be congratulated. 


Liz Stewart ( after 18 holes)  Liz Wilson, Anna Telfer and Gillian Kyle (after 18 holes)


Carol Fell and Evy MacGregor 
could only manage 1 hole but did enjoy the catering and chat

Others stayed inside and enjoyed a selection of teas, coffees, scones, soup and bacon rolls. The jury is still out on who made the right call!

Only 2 people broke 90 - Gillian Kyle and Liz Stewart (Reserve) who were part of the Scottish Vets winning team against the Irish earlier this week !
