LADIES OPEN TRI-AM

69 ladies played this year in our Ladies Open Tri-Am. The course was in fabulous condition so thanks to Craig and his green staff. We were lucky with the weather with only a couple of showers and the sun came out latterly. Very many thanks to the starters Pamela MacKenzie, Nancy McGadie and Karen Binning. On the check-in desk, Vivien Howe, Gillian Donaghy, Alison Templeton, Anne Robinson, Alison Robertson and Jean Irvine who also checked cards when they came in. Thanks to the hole sponsors , Lilias, Gillian, Vivien, Maureen and Marion. Thanks to Leanna, Courtney and Tina upstairs and Stuart our Pro.
