Team Member Fiona Ramsay has an Ace
County Team member Fiona Ramsay (Crieff) holed an ace at the 4th hole at Crieff on Sunday 8th August. Crieff were playing a scratch league match against Pitlochry when Fiona notched her 3rd hole in one.

Scotland's hopes dashed
Scotland failed to win any of the afternoon foursomes at Strathaven yesterday and finished last with no points. England were defeated by Wales however this did not stop them retaining the title for the 5th time in a row. England, Ireland and Wales all finished with two wins out of three. The tie-breaker was individual games won and England's 17 1/2pt gave them first place ahead of the Irish (15pt) and Wales (14pt).

LUCY GILMORE HAS AN ACE AT GLENISLA
At the last junior event of the P&K calendar your young junior Lucy Gilmore (strathmore) playing off a handicap of 19 had a hole in one at the 14th hole at Glenisla. Modest Lucy confused the organisers by not telling them of her success before handing in her card.

Vets make it three in a row
Sorry I haven't kept the story up to date but unknown to me, my husband whisked me away for a few days to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary!
However whilst I was away Scotland made it three in a row with an unbeaten record at Strathmore winning all three games 5-4 against South, 5-4 Midlands and a final day of 6-3 against North. The finals set of matches being singles only due to a 4 hour delay on Wednesday due to bad weather.
The player of the tournament was Liz Campbell with three wins and two halved matches for 4 points out of a possible 5.
Well done Scotland.

Noreen Fenton (Merchants of Edinburgh) eventually secured a 5-4 win for captain Joan Marshall's squad by beating Belinda Silver 2 and 1.
In the other opening-day match, Midlands beat North 5-4 after sharing the foursomes 1 1/2-1 1/2 and taking the singles 3 1/2-2 1/2.
