DOWN MEMORY LANE FROM WEST KILBRIDE -- RAIN RAIN AND MORE RAIN !!

Looking out the window this afternoon on yet another awful day - with last week the AIG Women's Open at Royal Troon and this week the British Women's Strokepay Championship at West Lancashire -- it reminded me a bit about the bad weather!!! 

 So looking down Memory Lane -- Here is the 2010 British Seniors Strokeplay Championship at West Kilbride and the weather wasn't much better there either !! 

 Bev New from Lansdown, Somerset, was the 2010 Senior British ladies’ open amateur champion.
