LANARKSHIRE COUNTY CHAMPION LESLEY IS THE 2015 WEST VETS CHAMPION

Lesley Lloyd - 2015 West Vets Champion

Margaret Gray (Handicap Championship Winner)

The West Vets Championship and Stewart Trophy took place at Renfrew Golf Course over the last two days.
 Thursday was a very wet day and all players got a soaking. Some good golf was played nevertheless and some matches had to go to extra holes. The semi-finals and finals took place on Friday (yesterday) and apart from a strong wind and one or two showers, the sun shone most of the time. Lesley Lloyd (Hayston) --- Lanarkshire County Champion emerged the winner of the West Vets Championship in her first year with us and many congratulations go to Lesley. She deserves a rest this weekend after some of her matches had to go to extra holes - The semi final against Renfrewshire County Champion Gillian Kyle going to the 21st Hole !

Margaret Gray (Old Ranfurly) was a worthy winner of the Stewart Trophy in its first year and congratulations go to her as well. Golf is a serious game but there is always the amusing moments. Lynn McColl was bemoaning the fact that she lost three Titleist Pro V1 balls on the course during her semi-final against Margaret but Morag Key lost one ball in a ballwasher! Now, can anyone beat that? We also encountered a little grey squirrel at the 4th hole who managed to get into Marion Stewart's golf bag in the morning round and Margaret Gray's golf bag in the afternoon round. Sorry to say that neither keep any goodies for little squirrels in their bags!

LESLEY LLOYD IS THE 2015 LANARKSHIRE CHAMPION

Lesley Lloyd beats Fiona Norris at 19th in 

Lanarkshire final at East Kilbride

REPORT FROM JEAN MACINTYRE 

Lesley Lloyd - 2015 Lanarkshire County Champion

On a nice sunny afternoon at East Kilbride GC, Lesley Lloyd (Hayston) won her second Lanarkshire women's county championship. Her previous victory was in 1997. This was Lloyd's seventh appearance in the final.

After a very close final, in which there was never more than one hole in it, Lesley beat Fiona Norris (Hamilton) at the 19th.

Fiona birdied the first to go one up. The next three holes were halved in pars. Lesley won the fifth with a par but Fiona birdied the ninth to go one up again. 

Lesley immediately squared the match by winning the 10th while Fiona again went one up at the 11th but Lesley won the 12th. 

The 13th was halved. Fiona won the 14th and remained one  up through 17. Lesley won the long par 5 18th  to square the match and then won the first extra hole when Fiona found a bunker with her second shot and failed to get up and down.

Both played well and scored two over par for the 18 holes.

In the morning's semi-finals Lloyd bt the 2008 champion, Susan Wood (Drumpellier) by 2 and 1.
Norris, five times county champion since 1992 (when she was Fiona McKay), bt Janice Paterson (Drumpellier) 4 and 2 in the other semi-final.
It will be Lloyd's seventh county final. She won the title in 1997.
Nora Wilson (Strathaven) won the Bronze Championship, beating Margaret Marshall (Wishaw) 5 and 4 in the final
