Alex won the first hole to be one up on the second tee but that was as good as it got for the Ayrshire senior. 
Bartlett, playing par golf, reached the turn in an approximate 36 shots and had established a five-hole lead.
Glennie came back into the game after the turn but ran out of holes in the end.
Bartlett was winning the Scottish veterans' title for the first time. The championship is contested by the eight divisional title winners and this is the first year that Alison had been Highland vets' championship.

Results:
SEMI-FINALS - A Glennie (West) bt S Arbuckle (Northern)  3 and 2, A Bartlett (Highland) bt L Dyball (Midland) 1 hole.
FINAL - Bartlett bt Glennie 5 and 4.
