County Open Results - Gairloch 22nd May 2011

Despite the high winds and heavy showers, some very good results were returned at Gairloch on Sunday.  

Lynne Fraser our vice-captain had an excellent gross score of 77 winning the scratch prize.

In the silver division, Val Wright (15) from Forres beat Sandra Hooker (15) from Muir of Ord on countback, both carding 70 net.

In the bronze division, Jo Powell (28) from Gairloch had a 69 net with Catherine Mackay (24) from Muir of Ord beating Joan Darroch (21) from Fortrose & Rosemarkie on countback with 74 net.

Jo Powell, the secretary and captain at Gairloch, who has just recovered from a wrist injury, was originally not playing and agreed to stand in at the last minute when someone dropped out.

Despite the weather most of the players enjoyed the day and we would like to thank Gairloch for their hospitality.

Adult/Girl Foursomes at Torvean

Eight pairs entered the Adult/Girl Foursomes at Torvean on Sunday 8th May when the weather was a definite improvement on last year when we played at Invergordon.  Most of the time the sun was shining but we did encounter some rain for about three holes. 

It was really encouraging to see so many young girls taking part who will, hopefully, become part of the County squad in the future.

I played with Eilidh McTavish from Elgin again this year and we managed to win the best gross with a score of 94.  Our playing partners Rebecca Riddell and her mum Clare from Royal Dornoch were in the lead for the best net with 79.5 until mother and daughter team, Kirsty and Karen McBeath from Forres came in with an excellent net score of 77.

Congratualtions to Anne Rose the junior organiser for making the day such a success and providing "goody bags" for each of the girls.

Many thanks to Torvean for allowing us courtesy of the course for the competition and to their lady captain Jacqueline Sinclair for all her help.

Finally our thanks go to Sally Rowan for very kindly sponsoring this event for the juniors.
