Nichola Ferguson with D&A County Captain Jennifer Kinloch - Click to enlarge

The D&A County Final was won today by Nichola Ferguson (Clober) who beat Anna Telfer (Milngavie) by 5&3. This is Nichola's first Championship title.
Semi Final:
Anna Telfer beat Lorraine Campbell 2&1
Nichola Ferguson beat Laura McGeachy at the 19th

The Bronze Championship was won by Joyce McGregor who beat Ann Nicoll 5&3

A certain Past County Captain, Past Douglas Park Captain and Champion, Past Bearsden Captain and Champion, Past Champion of Elie and now is it Captain of the Seniors?

 I’m unsure of the correct title, but Mrs. Helen Faulds (pictured left)suffered a somewhat “senior moment” this afternoon at Windyhill.

Roll back the hours and she acted as Caddy to Anna Telfer this morning – due to sore knee and perhaps tiredness she was replaced this afternoon as caddy to Anna! However, after lunch Mrs.Faulds prepared to go out onto the course to spectate along with some other members.

 Somewhere along the line her “handbag” went missing! PANIC – BIG TIME! This inspite of her being insistent that she left it on the bench in the ladies locker room! First suspect [was it lifted in error by someone] – a certain finalist from the Bronze Championship, but on approaching her and returning to the Clubhouse to search and check, this lady, Anne Nicoll [Ranfurly Castle member], was completely innocent! What about the handbag lockers? No didn’t use one was the reply from Mrs. Faulds! However, Member Christine Kelly managed to obtain the “master” handbag locker keys and on opening No. 11 there was THE BAG! On further searching Mrs. Faulds came across the key to No. 10 Locker – in her pocket! How confusing!

I think the story could end now – an embarrassed Past Captain and everything and a very good laugh had by many.

Thanks go to D&A Vice Captain Alisoun Fairbairn for all the news

Turning  professional in 2004 she has now played in over 100 tournaments and her many tales of the up and downs on the circuit, the players she has played with and the stars she has met made the audience laugh and laugh.
What a wonderful speaker Lynn is as well as a great golfer and also very highly talented squash player. She credited her family especially her Mum, coach Kevin Craggs and the success of Annika Sorenstam as having influenced her to play golf.

Kilmacolm Ladies Captain Rena Simpson  who had arranged the event and who alsohad invited ladies from Elderslie, Old Ranfurly and Ranfurly Castle Golf Clubs to the social evening, thanked Lynn at the end of a very successful evening.
