Louise Fraser - Runner Up
From Louise Fraser:

Wow what a week in St Andrews playing in the Strathtyrum Tournament. 

9 rounds of golf in 6 days 😳 in rain, sunshine, wind, nasty wet squawls (witness to somebody chasing their brolly across 2 fairways πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚), wind and rain 😭😫 then sun to finish 😎. 

Practice, qualifying rounds, into match play and a Final against good old local Edinburgh buddy Karen Marshall. Kaz was off to a hot start and the door never opened for me. 

She continued to show some bold accurate Kaz Marshall brilliant shots and beat me at 17 🏌️‍♀️⛳️πŸ†. 

Worthy and well deserved winner of the tournament in its 30th year. And I’m sure a very special year for all the Marshalls ❤️. 

Happy to be runner up to Karen from 120 players πŸ˜ƒπŸΎπŸ₯‚. Fun evenings of food, bevy, banter and chups πŸ˜‚ with Elaine Lumsden and Fiona Jackson . Back to work tomorrow for a rest πŸ€ͺ
