West and East Vets Teams

Nearly a Hole in One !!

West Vet's  Fiona Armour with Brenda Conway (Renfrew) were playing in one of the matches against East Vets for the Asp Trophy.

Fiona said "It was at the14th at Cochrane Castle and it nailed the match for Brenda and I, 5 and 4.  

"Brenda had already hit a cracking tee shot to about 8ft from the pin at the par 3 9th and I slotted in the putt for our first 2 on the card."

All in all  West had a good day and won 4-1

The West Vets Team turned up at Glencorse Golf Club hoping for a win for the first time since 2014.

It was much closer than last year, unfortunately we lost 5 ½ -  3 ½ 

However 5 games were very well contested, going all the way to the 18th.

Both teams thoroughly enjoyed Glencorse, finding it a tricky and interesting course. It was in great condition considering the weather the day before.

As usual the friendship was evident on the course and in the clubhouse during the meal, and we must thank Glencorse G.C. and East Vets Captain Anne Rorrison for hosting such an enjoyable day.
