FINAL AT TAIN

As president of Aberdeenshire Ladies County Golf Association, Mary Robinson is more used to handing out the prizes at tournaments.
But at Tain Golf Club today, Mary and her Aberdeenshire partner Sheila McCrae were the recipients of the SLGA's Commonwealth Spoons trophy (picture right by courtesy of Robin Wilson).
They won the national final against qualifiers from all over Scotland with a net 76 - three over par - off 16.
They won by two shots from Lesley Lloyd and Fiona Scott of Lanarkshire and Anne Smith and Rena Canavan (Stirling & Clackmannan) who both had net 78s. Lloyd and Scott were playing off four, Smith and Canavan off 14. Lloyd and Scott were placed second on the better inward half.
