Patrick Trophy -- Diamond Dinner Celebration

Click on the slideshow above for bigger photos

In 1949, in an attempt to be able to play good competitive golf after working hours, two ladies, Miss Elizabeth Ogilvie from Kirkintilloch Golf Club and Miss Patrick from Bishopbriggs Golf Club began what is now known as The Patrick Trophy League solely for working women in and around the Dunbartonshire district.

The League consists of 7 teams: Bishopbriggs, Cawder, Douglas Park, Hayston, Hilton Park, Kirkintilloch and Lenzie.

60 years later, in keeping with tradition, all games are still played after work within a two month period to make best use of evening light.

To celebrate this occasion, we held a Diamond Celebration Dinner, hosted this year by Hilton Park Golf Club.
It was a very happy evening and making it even more special was the attendance of some the older ladies who were former players. One lady from Lenzie Golf Club, Mrs Rutherford, told our table she remembers playing in the very first match. She is now in her 90’s and unable to play but she still harbours a passion for the game.

After the death of Miss Ogilvie in 1999, (Miss Patrick had pre deceased her), it was decided that an Honorary President be appointed for a 2 year period.

Isabella Gardiner, from Douglas Park Golf Club, had the honour of becoming the first Honorary President.

Cheryl MacDonald, the current Honorary President from Lenzie Golf Club, is pictured in the slideshow cutting the cake before the meal was served.

While our tables were a mix of competitors, all rivalry was set aside with friendship and camaraderie the game plan for the evening.

Eilidh Briggs is the 2009 West of Scotland Girls Champion

The final of the West of Scotland Girls' Championship was played yesterday (Friday 16th October)

The main Championship final and the Bronze Championship were both played over Troon Portland on a beautiful autumn day and the golf certainly matched the weather.

Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) defended her title by beating Mhairi McKay (West Kilbride) by 4&3. This was a very friendly match and both girls played under their handicaps sharing 8 birdies over the 15 holes played!

In the Bronze final Jorden Ferrie (Kirkintilloch) winner on Thursday of the D&A Centenary Stableford over the Carrick Golf Course sealed her 4&2 victory over Grace Mackie (Troon Ladies) with a birdie 2 at the 16th hole.
Again the golf was of a high standard with both girls playing below their handicaps.

Many thanks to those who came along to spectate and, in particular, to the Captain, Vice Captain and Ladies of Troon Golf Club for their continued support and generous hospitality

Results:
Eilidh Briggs beat Mhairi MacKay 4 and 3 and is now the 2009 champion.
Jorden Ferrie beat Grace Mackie 4 and 2 in the Bronze Championship.
