KENNEDY SALVER REPORT

The Inter-County Kennedy Salver matches were played on Monday at Erskine GC. Teams consisted of 6 girls from each of the 4 Counties playing Foursomes in the morning followed by Singles in the afternoon.
The day started off showery and cold, then changed to windy and finished in lovely sunshine. Typical Scottish weather !
Captain Trish welcomed all the games on the first tee as we were the host County. Keeping tabs on the scores was quite a complicated procedure. However Freda Tuck was, as usual, very proficient on the computer keeping all the scores up to date and producing lovely colourful charts for the scoreboard.
Unfortunately, we were narrowly beaten by half a point by Ayrshire who won the Salver. In the Foursomes we won 2 out of our 3 matches and managed to win 3 out of 6 games in the Singles – not too bad a result from our girls.  All the games were played in a very courteous manner and it was great to see so many young girls playing competitive golf in a friendly, sportsman like way.
We were made very welcome by all the staff at Erskine and once again the County wishes to thank the Club for the use of their course for a whole day in the middle of summer.
