Long-driver Susan Wood wins

 at Duff House Royal with a 72 

Drumpellier’s Susan Wood made the long haul up to Banff for today’s  Scottish Ladies Golfing Association county open meeting at Duff House Royal – and it proved a very worthwhile trip.

Susan matched the par and CSS with a good round of 72 to head a field of 75. She pipped a fellow traveller from the Central Belt, Lesley Lloyd (Hayston) by one stroke with Aberdeenshire women’s county champion, Sammy Leslie (Westhill) third with a 77.

In the Silver Division handicap section, Anne Keddie (Ladies Panmure Barry) won the top prize with a net 68 off 15, a shot ahead of Fiona Scott (Bothwell Castle) who plays off five.

The two prizewinners in the Bronze Division were Nita Dervish-Uman (Kemnay) and Florence Allan (Kemnay).
Nita and Florence both had scratch 98s. Nita had the better inward half to win the scratch trophy and Florence’s net 66 off 32 won her the handicap award.
This is Duff House Royal Golf Club's Centenary Year.
