LESLEY LLOYD WINS THE WEST VETS' CHAMPIONSHIP AT RENFREW 

 The West Vets Championship and Stewart Trophy took place at Renfrew Golf Course over the last two days.

Thursday was a very wet day and all players got a soaking. Some good golf was played nevertheless and some matches had to go to extra holes. The semi-finals and finals took place on Friday (today) and apart from a strong wind and one or two showers, the sun shone most of the time. 
Lesley Lloyd (Hayston) - Lanarkshire county champion - emerged the winner of the West Vets Championship in her first year with us and many congratulations go to Lesley. She deserves a rest this weekend after some of her matches had to go to extra holes.
The semi-final against Renfrewshire county champion Gillian Kyle went to the 21st Hole

Margaret Gray (Old Ranfurly) was a worthy winner of the Stewart Trophy in its first year and congratulations go to her as well. Golf is a serious game but there is always the amusing moments. Lynn McColl was bemoaning the fact that she lost three Titleist Pro V1 balls on the course during her semi-final against Margaret but Morag Key lost one ball in a ballwasher! Now, can anyone beat that? We also encountered a little grey squirrel at the 4th hole who managed to get into Marion Stewart's golf bag in the morning round and Margaret Gray's golf bag in the afternoon round. Sorry to say that neither keep any goodies for little squirrels in their bags!
