Seventy eight club teams from across Scotland took part in the Scottish Match Play Foursomes 2011. This tournament started out in back April and is a knockout foursomes event. P&K Club Dunkeld and Birnam made it through to the finals which were held at Glenbervie Golf Club on Sunday 28th.
The other teams who played their way to these stages were Dirleton Castle, Bridge of Allan and Crichton. Dunkeld and Birnam were represented by Anne Walker and Sheila MacDougall. In the morning the first of the semi-finals was between Dirleton Castle, represented by Hazel Saunders and Terry Reekie and Dunkeld & Birnam, this proved to be a very tight match throughout, going down to the very last putt on the 18th green which Hazel Saunders holed to clinch the match for Dirleton Castle, one up.
The second semi-final was also an excellent match, however the Crichton pair of Rachel Walker and Amy Little took advantage of their longer hitting in the windy conditions and won through against Carole Mackay and Janis Myles of Bridge of Allan by 4 & 3.
Crichton once again made their longer hitting count in the final against Dirleton Castle, winning the match by 7 & 6 and taking the title of Scottish Match Play Foursomes Champions for 2011.
Unfortunately Dunkeld and Birnam duo lost out in the match to decide third & fourth places in the afternoon when Bridge of Allan won at the 16th hole.
Congratulations to Dunkeld and Birnam team in making it so far in this national event.
