MURRAYFIELD A WIN MORISON MILLAR TROPHY TOURNAMENT

                    MURRAYFIELD A - THE WINNERS
Thirty-two teams of four ladies from 21 Edinburgh golf clubs took part in the double foursomes Morison Millar Trophy Tournament at Murrayfield Golf Club on Thursday.
Thirty-four entries had been received for this popular tournament resulting in two teams being balloted out. The unseasonal weather has certainly not been kind to golfers in the past few weeks and as a result, according to records, this was the first time that the Tournament has been reduced to one round.
After some very heavy deluges of rain the day before, fog and mist had been forecast for the morning so the Committee decided that players should play the afternoon round.
The fog finally lifted and although the course was extremely wet underfoot, the greenkeepers had made a sterling effort in keeping all the greens in a playable condition and this was much appreciated by all the players.
Thankfully, all teams completed their round before any further mist or rain descended. In the evening, we were delighted to welcome Mrs Jan Paterson, great granddaughter of Mrs Morison Millar, who was accompanied by her daughter Isabella, to present the prizes.
