MAIL ON SUNDAY

Strathmore Ladies took part in the Mail on Sunday competition at Dunkeld on Saturday. The team consisted of Sandy Bushy, Alexandra Bushby, Dawn Butchart, Janet Griffiths and Sheena Scott.

The competition is played in 5 single knockout ties. There is a point for a win and half a point for a half. Sheena Scott was in the first tie and was narrowly beaten on the 18th. Next up was Janet Griffiths who won her tie 3&2, following Janet was Sandy Bushby who was victorious on the 18th green. She was followed by Dawn Butchart who was beaten on the 17th and last was Alex Bushby who halved her tie. This left the overall match 2.5 to 2.5. Therefore under the rules of the competition the last tie must go back to the first tee and play sudden death until there is an eventual winner.

As you can see Alex and her opponent Anne went back off down the 19th which they halved. Then onto the 20th where Alex was giving a shot and unfortunately both players had a 5 which meant of course that Dunkeld make it to the next round.

It is not easy playing away from home especially on a course such as Dunkeld however I do think the team did us all proud by playing so well and making a such a close game of it!

Well done all.
