30 year drought for Kingsknowe’s Sheila Lyon
ended with Morison Millar win
The following report comes from the Morison Millar Organising Committee, courtesy of Alison Mutch of the host club, Lothianburn GC.
Despite soaring temperatures on Thursday 2nd July and the challenge of Lothianburn’s slopes, there were several scores in the tournament under the par of 70. The best of these were a great 66.5 in the morning by Adrienne Turner & Laura Reekie from Baberton B, and a superb 66.5 in the afternoon (when typically scores rose in the heat) by Sheila Lyon & Sheila Halliday of Kingsknowe A. The latter helped Kingsknowe A to a narrow win with 291 strokes, over Lothianburn A and Baberton B, both on 293 – Lothianburn gaining 2nd place by virtue of the better 2nd round. Murrayfield B came 4th , close behind on 294.
At the prizegiving Sheila Lyon, speaking on behalf of the winning Kingsknowe team, mentioned that she had played in the last 30 Morison Millar Tournaments and never before been in the winning team, having been runner up on more than one occasion. So, rather than 3rd time lucky Sheila – it was 30th time lucky!
Well done to Sheila and her Kingsknowe team-mates.
