Team training day at Nairn Golf Club

A big thank you to the Nairn Mens' Team who turned out to play members of the Northern Counties team. 
The result was a draw.

Semi Final & Final Results

Scratch - Cara Gruber beat Jenny Milne 8 & 6. 
               Alison Bartlett beat Mary Smith 1 up.



Handicap - Eilidh McTavish beat Sally Rowan 2 up. 
                  Wilma Murray beat Alison Burnett 4 & 3.


Final Results:

Cara Gruber beat Alison Bartlett in the final. The match was all square at the 8th then Cara won the 10th and 11th to go 2 up. Alison won the next two holes to square the match again. They halved the 13th and 14th then Cara won the 15th and 16th and halved the 17th to win 2 and 1.

In the handicap match Wilma Murray beat Eilidh McTavish 1 up. Eilidh was 2 up at the 8th then lost the 9th to a birdie from Wilma who won the next 2 holes as well putting her 1 up. They halved the 12th and 13th then Eilidh won the 14th to bring it back to all square. A bad tee shot from Eilidh on the 15th - par 3 - when Wilma put her tee shot on the green put Wilma 1 up again. Wilma won the 16th and Eilidh won the 17th. Wilma was 1 up going on to the 18th which they halved.

Both games were very well fought. Wilma told me this is the first time she has played in a Northern Counties' competition. It was also Eilidh's first time but I'm sure we'll hear more of her in the future.
